IL wouldn't do to have different

site side Of the world.
Now, generally speaking. the
isoth meridian runs right
down through the middle Of
the Pacific ocean without
touching land. That makes 10
a natural.
Because the is0th meridian was
selected for the honor Of greeting
each new day. II was dubbed the
International Dateline.
Necessary Custom
Well, as a vessel sails westward
across the Pacific. you change
your watch back bit each day to
correspond with the longitude
you're in (same idea as going from
New York TO Tacoma--if you made
it all in one day. you'd set IT back
three hours: II It took you
month. IT would be only few min
utes each day..
But. when you approach the
Dateline, say on Saturday, and
regardless what time OF day II Ia.
In order to catch up with the world
on the other side (wesD of the
Dateline you have to skip Sunday
altogether.
Thus, westbound each OF your
days is something more than "a
hours long (becausc you're setting
your watch back n few minutes
each day. and you miss a whole
day somewhere.
Hours vs.. Days
OF course, when you're coming
back this way again. the process
Is just the reverse--you set your
watch ahead little each day. and
then when you cross the Datellne
you have that day twice in row.
As we indicated ut the be-
ginning, IL may sound kind Of
screwy. but II really works
out okeh
Anyhow, II just so happened
that We were homeward bound
from the Orient one time. setting
our watch ahead little each day
as usual.
Paradox
And II further happened that
our ship crossed the Dateline on
Dec. 21-shortest day OF the year.
But in accordance with the normal
practice of repeating the day on
which the crossing eastbound Is
made. we enjoyed TWO Dec. 2ists.
II all seemed simple enough at
the time. but now that we think
back over II. II looks pretty COM
plicated TO us, too.

8-POINT PROGRAM
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Proposed at Quarterly Meeting of New England
 Council at Providence

Providence, R. T., March 17-(UP) An eight-point program for indus trial, agricultural and recreational activities in New England was pro- posed by President c. F. Weed of the New England Council at the councils quarterly meeting today. The program:
 q. Economy and increased effl- ciency in government-federal, state and local; that the cost may be kept within the economic capacity to pay.
 "2. Promotion of sound indus trial expansion through cooperation of capital, labor and government and intensive research for new pro- cesses and products.
 8. Adequate and proper flood control for the protection of arms, homes and factories in threatened areas.
 "A. Support of the governors op- position to proposed congressional readjustment of freights rates for the benefit of the south to the detri- ment of New England. "5. Stimulation and coordination of efforts to attract visitors to New England to offset the loss of vaca- tion dollars which New Englanders this year will spend at New York's Worlds Fair.
 "6, Simplification and uniformity of state laws and regulations to facilitate freer flow of commerce through the area.
 "7. Coordination of state high way programs to provide regional system of through motor ways.
 "8. Timber salvage and reduction of the fire hazard aftermath of the hurricane"
 Manufacturers Angry
 New England manufacturers might just as well abandon any attempt" to compete with the south if southern freight rates are reduced the New England Council was told today.
 Charging that the agitation be- fore Congress for such reduction is purely political, utterly lacking in merit, justification or logic," Harry c. Arnes, transportation counsel of the New England governors rail- road freight rate committee outlined his findings to the councils 54th quarterly conference. ITO the extent that <. other sec- tions are using politics as rate-mak- ing weapon" Ames said, i've in the north have perfect right, indeed a duty, to use similar measures to stop it. we must '. fight fire with fire"
 Higher freight rates, he said, pro- vide the only factor in favor of the north over the south's sharp ad- vantages in cost of power, labor, construction, taxes and very likely in the cost of raw materials" Reasons Given Freight rates should be higher in the south than in the north, Ames believed, for these reasons: 1. The distribution of the trans portation burden" has proceed~d historically and currently" along entirely different lines. 2. '"The ratio of density of trafic per mile of road is perhaps 3 to 1 in favor of the north.~ He explained that distribution of the traftic burden means that where as. because of competition and other factors, rates must be lowered on some commodities. rates must be kept higher on other items if the railroads are to make reasonable profit.
 He added that "the disparity has never been and is not now nearly as great or as general as the political

have you believe"
 At hearings on bills which seek "the arbitrary wiping out of terri torial rate differences" Ames said, "all of the advocates admitted that under the law . the inter- state commerce commission has full power to create the desired rate par ities if, upon complaint or upon its own investigation, it decides that such course is justified.
 "All of them were forced to admit i. .. that the commission has on at least four occasions taken that very action.
 "These things considered, it be- comes self-evident that the southern interests are not content to rest their case on its real merits, but are asking Congress to step over the head of the forum created by its own law to decide the question and give them the results they seek by arbitrary fiat"

New Telephone Directories Are
Being Distributed

Important changes in the new Gar
rett County telephone directory that IS
being delivered, which it is believed
will make it more useful and easier to
read, have been announced by Mama
ger w. r. Pancake, Of the telephone
company,
In the past telephone subscribers
were listed under their exchange, but
with this issue all names are published
in one alphabetical list and the eN-
change is shown after each name.
In addition the forthcoming direc-
tory will have a new cover featuring 4
symbolic figure, "The Spirit of Com
munication,' which since 1916 has
crowned the tower of the headquarters
building, of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company in New York
City. 1t will also be set in new type
especially designed for Bell System
telephone directories which IS clearer
and easier to read than the type fo"-
merly used.
In addition to Oakland, Avilton,
Blaine and Kitzmiller, this directory
will include the listings of subscrib-
ers at Accident and Friendsville.
Subscribers are requested by Mr..
Pancake to be careful and remove all
personal papers from their directories
before discarding them, He also urges
that old directories be destroyed when
the new book is delivered, because
there have been many changes in tele-
phone numbers. Approximately $50
directories are being distributed in
this county.
