CLOCK PUZZLE EASILY SOLVED
Timepieces Must Be Push- ed Ahead One Hour To-
 morrow Night

The semi-annual problem of what to do with the clock arrives again tomorrow night and Sunday to pug gle Waterburians, for daylight sav- ing time becomes effective at 2 a. m., Sunday.
 Most local residents will push their clocks ahead an hour tomorrow night, rather than wait until Sum- day morning. With the change will come the usual grumblings about schedules being upset and about leaving Gods time alone.
 Most church services in the city will be conducted on daylight time Sunday morning. Beginning Mon- day, all business establishments will operate on a daylight time sched- ule. Train and bus schedules and radio programs will be changed, te conform to the new time.
 Courts will continue to operate or standard time but will change theil starting time to place their schedule. in agreement with the general ob- servance of daylight saving time. Public clocks, thanks to a legisla- tive act of a few years ago, will dis play daylight saving time. At least most of them will. Until an old act was repealed, public clocks had to show standard time even though day light saving time was being ob- served by virtually the entire state

Pension System Is
Retuined By Police
Judge Decldle Cincinnati
Fund Operates Under
Stute Law

A recent ruling in the Common
Pleas Court of Cincinnati, Ohio, up
held the right of city fremen and po-
lice to keep their own State pension
system.
The city government had sought to
forcibly incorporate these two depart
ments into the pension structure de-
vised by the city for all of its en-
ployes, although the benefits of the
city system were admittedly inferior
to those of the systems sponsored by
the State for many years and oper-
ated before Cincinnati would even
consider pensions.
Retirement Provisions of State System
Under the State system a retire
ment clause is effective after twenty
five years service, while under the
city system there is no provision for
retirement until the age of sixty years
is reached and an employe has seen
thirty-five years service. Under the
city system widows and orphans are
not provided for unless a man is kill
ed on active duty, but the State sys
TEN does provide for the care of
widows and orphans.
The State pension law has been in
force for over fifty years and paid
for by firemen and police. 1t was re-

this connection.
At the same time the court found
that the city had not complied with
the State pension law as it applies to
the personnel of the trustees of the

The court ordered the city council
