LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Editor Caledoni4n- Record:--
] for one wish 10 voice Il protest
against any proposal to adopt the
daylight savings system in St. Johns
bury. If this system was in general
use | would be wiling to submit to
the majority, but inasmuch as Bur
lington is about the only place in the
state where it is in vogue and the
Boston and Maine the only railroad
in this vicinity to change the running
time of their trains | sec no good .'ca-
son to fall in line. Swanton tried 1t Il
week and then wisely decided to go
back to Gods time" ana Swanton
is as much OF a railroad center as
any community in the state. With
trains running at a different time
from the rest of the state confusion
is inevitable and it is unthinkablc
that such condition as now exists
will become permanent.
AS a hotel keeper | gladly enter
a protest against any more confusion
because the adoption of daylight say
ings by st. Johnsburv would only
make matters worse. During the sum
mer our hotel has many tourists from
all parts of New England and eastern
states and to adopt different time
than is in use throughout the United
States except in a few places would
mix US ali up. We have economic
conditions enough to contend with
now without addinr to our burdens,
