Local Areu Goes
Back On Standard
Time Next Week

Along with the rest of the ma
ton, Pascagoula and Moss Point
residents are going to give an
hour out of their lives over the
weekend and no one is going to
get paid overtime or even
straight time in return.
For the less % the hour will
be only a matter of paper-work,
imagination, and setting the clock
back to Standard Time, aban-
doning War Time that has beea
in force for about four years.
City officers and other businesses
which opened at $3.50 a. m. on
Saturday morning, for instance,
viii open at $50 a. M. on Mon
day morning, but since the
clocks will be set back through
out the nation at 2 a. m. Sunday
morning, the opening hour will
actually be an hour later in the
day by the sun.
BY the change, darkness will
come an hour earlier. The coun-
try went on War Time during
the emergency to give an extra
hour of day light at the end of
the day in order to conserve the
use Of electricity for street and
home lighting. The country IS
returning to Standard Time by
act of Congress now that the war
emergency is over, and the in
dustrial need for electric power
is falling off.
