DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN
An Clocks Will be Advanced One
Hour Beginning Sunday Morning

Columbia, S. c., March 27-The
South Carolina Council OF Defense is
anxious that the people OF South
Carolina cooperate in observing the
daylight saving law which becomes
effective at . o'clock Sunday morn
ing and trusts that they will not de-
feat the purpose of the law by chang
ing their schedule of hours.
Under the terms of the new law
the hands of all clocks are to be NOV
ed forward one hour on Sunday
morning. One hour of daylight will
thus be gained in the morning and
the hours of darkness will be utiliz-
ed to just that additional extent for
sleeping.
The Council of Defense hopes that
all banks, schools. churches, and bus
mess enterprises will continue their
present hours. That is that the
banks will continue TO open at .
O'Clock and close at ) and all other
enterprises will maintain their same
schedule of working hours.

hour for home gardening by the city

one-fifth of our total population. and
it will give to the people one hour
for recreation at that part Of the day
when it is most convenient for them
to enjoy it. Briefly, the bill pro-

Then Uncle Wiggily used his sec

"Hardedi Harder. cried the snitch-

Poor Uncle WiggiIy didn't know
what to do. Then all Of a sudden he
saw the pile of rough. hard, cindery
clinkers. He remembered what Nurse
Jane had said about their being like
nutmeg graters. Catching up a big
clinker. the bunny scratched the
Snitcher's back with it.
"How's that2" asked the bunny.
"Oh. finel Oh. lovely! Oh. grandr'
