TOWN WILL RETURN
TO FAST time FOR
SUMMER, APRIL 80.
Council Sets Up Time Change
In Response To Requests
OF Residents
AT Close of the Summer Bluff
ton Clocks Will Return To
Slow Time Again

Bluffton clocks will be set ahead
one hour at 3 a. m. Sunday, April
80, in a return to operation on "Fast
Time" for the summer season.
Decision to adopt East Time"
from April 80 to the first Sunday in
September was voted Monday night
at a meeting of the municipal coun-
Gil, after sentiment over the last
two weeks had indicated that most
Bluffton residents were in favor of
discontinuing "Slow Time" for the
summer.
In an ordinance drafted at the
session, councilmen set up a per-
manent schedule whereby the town
will be on "Slow Time" from the
first Sunday in September every year
to the last Sunday in April.
From the last Sunday in April
until the first Sunday in September
Fast Time" will be in force here.
Little opposition to setting clocks
of the town ahead one hour on April
80 was voiced to councilmen, altho
it was known that most farmers
opposed the change.
Town residents, on the other hand,
seem to prefer an extra hour of
daylight after their usual working
hours during the summer, because of
the additional time it gives them
for work in victory gardens, on
lawns and for outdoor recreation.

LESS LABOR FOR
CANNERIES;; MORE
CANNING AT HOME
Draft Calls Making Inroads
Into Farm Labor and Can
merry Workers
Increased Production Resp0n-
sibility to Fall Upon
Victory Gardeners

Critical shortages of labor on
farms and in canneries, plus the high
ration value of canned goods, will
result in more victory garden pro-
duction and home canning this sum-
mer than that of 1943's record
breaking season.
Victory gardeners are eagerly
awaiting the first favorable break
in the weather to start the prepara-
tion of soil for seeding of garden
crops that are expected to be scarce
this summer because of the farmers
inability to find enough help to
produce foodstuffs.
Realizing that farmers will of
necessity concentrate their production
on grain and forage crops that do
not require as much land labor as
others destined for human consump-
tion, victory gardeners are planning
their 1914 gardens accordingly.
There will be more tomatoes in
victory gardens, because farmers will
raise fewer. Cabbage, carrots,
spinach, potatoes and many other
vegetables will be more plentiful i'm
gardens for the same reason.
With warnings already sounded
that canneries will be unable to keep
pace with last years record, because
of lack of help, Bluffton house.
wives are laying plans to engage in
their most extensive home canning
program in history.
Sugar for home canning will be
available to housewives at the same
rate as last year--a maximum of
25 pounds for each member of the
family.
Five pounds of this allotment can
now be obtained with Sugar Stamp
40 in War ReDpn Book 4. .Beginnipr
in Marchy ration boards aiso were
ordered to grant certificates for an
additional supply, up to 20 pounds
per person.
Applications for sugar may be OBJ
tanned and returned to local ration
boards by mail, it was announced.
This year, instead of enclosing ration
books with applications, spare stamp
81 from ration book A must ac-
company the form.
