DAYLIGHT SAVING

An extra hour of daylight is fine for
gardening and automobilins but is de,-
rimental to the health of children,
says the Maine Department of Health.
Children need rest and sleep as much
as food. and setting the cock ahead
means that they get up an hour earlier
to go to school but fail to so TO bed
an hour earlier evenings. 1t is diff
cult to get children to go to bed while
1t is yet light and as result children
who used to go to bed at eight now
sit up until nine. The daylight say
ing plan robs the children OF an hours
