Daylight saving is on It's wa. Both
houses of congress have voted strongly
in favor OF the measure, which only
awaits the President signature. The
clocks will be turned ahead an hour on
Easter sunday, March 81, and they will
not be turned back until October 30
The change will give Oh extra hour
of daylight in which to do work, and
will afford q better opportunity for
working in gardQ&s in the summer
months, and in cases of many individ-
uals an extra hour of recreation. The
scheme has been tried out successfully
by nearly all of the European nations
