SET CLOCKS | HOUR AHEAD
Daylight Saving in Effect Again
This Summer and Commences

The National Daylight Saving law
put into effect last year by Congress
as a war measure was not repealed
this year as expected and again be-

March 81.
AS that hour comes a little late for
most people, and also a little early.
it is suggested that before retiring
tomorrow night the hands of your
clock be advanced one hour, and then
if you get up in the morning at your
usual time according to the clock you
will be or time for your work and
your other duties and engagements.
The SENTINEL has been informed
that the mines operating in this dis
trict will commence work next Mon

ule. as will also the county officials.
the schools. post Office, telephone
service, Eureka Theatre. hotels. and
other lines of business that have to
do with public affairs. so it means
that all who do not conform to the
advanced time will be out of line and
very liable to meet with various vex-
atoms.
There was marked OPPOSITION to this
law in many sections of the country.
and the Agricultural Appropriation
bill before the last Congress carried
a rider intended to repeal the Day.
light Saving law, but in the filibuster
operating during the closing hours
of Congress the Agricultural bill
failed to secure a vote. leaving the
law still in effect.
There was considerable opposition
to the proposal to repeal the daylight
saving regulation. One of the chief
advocates of the extra daylight was
the Playground and Recreation AS
ISOLATION of America. 1t conducted
a vigorous campaign against the rid
er in Congress and the following tele-
gram sent by the association to Sena-
tors embraces the chief points sup
porters of the plan present in its be-
half:
The playground and Recreation
Association of America respectfully
and urgently asks your support of
the National daylight saving law and
your vigorous opposition in its pro-
jected repeal in the rider to the an
nual agricultural appropriation bill.
The Importance of giving those
who labor an extra hour of daylight
in which to turn from work to play
and to better health, has no stronger
Endorsement than the countrywide
commentator won by the law last
year, 1t meant renewed health for
the father, clean, wholesome enjoy
ment for the son and daughter and
happiness for the mother in watch
ing her children at play.
1t has saved the entire country in
gas and electric light bills So, 000, 900.
Besides this. at least a million tons
of coal have been saved. Aside from
its material benefits expressed in dol
lars, it has done far more good
throughout the country by stimulat-
ing community spirit in arousing
healthy competition in athletics and
bringing the people into a real and
permanent neighborliness.
To repeal this law, or even to cut
down its benefits in the slightest de-
gree, would be so great a detriment
to this country that the Playground
and Recreation Association of Ameri-
ca feels that it is its duty to urge
upon you the necessity of blocking
any repeal of such a beneficial law.
