Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-05-10
Confusion at Norton.

The little town of Norton, Kansas
is in dilemma. Far out in the
hills of Northwestern Kansas, they
have been called unpatriotic for
not turning clocks up an hour.
And the uncomplimentary remarks
from the other towns around are
especially displeasing, for Norton
and Norton County pride themselves
on their patriotism. They point to
their Liberty Bond subscriptions,
considerably above their quotas.
They point to the 200 volunteers
from The county to the fighting
forces of the nation, And in Red
Cross work they are ready to COM
pare theirs with that of any other
county.
Besides. Norton denies EN-.
phatically that it is not saving
time. 1t is saving time, and has
been ever since there was a town
for Norton. through a peculiar cir.
cumstance, has always been an
hour ahead of the sun.
The point is here. Norton is just
few miles west of Phillipsburg
Kas, where the time changes from
central to mountain. That is
persons going west on the Rock Is
land have always turned theil
watches back an hour. when they
pass Phillipsburg. On the othel
hand the Burlington Railroad. thai
runs a branch line down from
Nebraska. through Norton and on
out to Oberlin. Kas.. has always

clocks where they had always been
The towns were prepared to
straighten out their troubles when
the manager of the telephone COM
pany protested and sent a complaint
to the State Utilities Commission
urging that the people be made to
turn their clocks up an hour.
The State Utilities Commission,
after looking over the case, passed
the buck to the Government, where
the question now rests. Probably
not a half dozen towns in the
country have the same problem to
contend with.
In the meantime Norton and Al
mena are stumbling along as best
they can on two different times. be-
lieving sincerely that they should
be pitied and not censurcd.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-05-10

they were going to obey the Govern.
ment's rule. And then there were
those who saw the former mistake
of the county. This group decided
to leave their clocks where they
were. That would make them right
with the other towns. And, of
course, there was that few TO be ex-
pected who got their clocks turned
backwards.
The bankers. by agreement, turn
ed their clocks ahead. But the
schools decided to use Mountain
time. which would leave their clocks
the same. At II o'clock (under
the old time). the banker appeared
at home for his luncheon. Then an
hour later the children came home
from school. Here was where
trouble started.
Part of the laborers got to work
in the mornings on time and part OF
them didn't. No end of confusion
resulted here. Persons dared not
call the telephone Office, for the
operators soon lost patience explain
ing what the correct time should be
if they hadn't turned their clocks up
and the other half decided not to.
And in every case. it seemed. the
one half who did. came in contact
with the half who didn't.
The Mayor of Almena called the
Mayor of Norton OIL the telephone
to arrange conference to iron out
the county's troubles. Even their
watches disagreed. When they
finally met they decided to use
Mountain time and leave their
