Science and Health with Key to
tthe Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy is: Up. 49,. Jesus of Nazar-
eth taught and demonstrated mans
oneness with the Father, and for
this we owe him endless homgae.
His mission was both individual
and collective. He did life's work
Alright not only in justice to him
self, but in mercy to mortals,-to
show them how to do theirs, but
not to do it for them nor to relieve
them of single responsibility.
Jesus acted boldly, against the
accredited evidence of the senses,
against Pharisaical creeds and
practices, and he refuted all oppon-
ents with his healing power.

1t isn't what DONE was done that is of con-
at the moment.
Regardless of the merits the confusion of daylight
the manner in which Oakands Mayor Hesen of the
cOucmen about getting daylight appears to us to
most striking example Of poor civic government.
At regular council meeting weeks ago they decided
according the accepted minutes of the organization that day
light saving time question be decided by County
Commissioners They declared that m the County Commissioners
adopt the council will along with same The County Com
mssioners did not adopt and everyone of the belief
the question had been settled.
Monday night hastily called special meeting of Council
called by Mayor Hesen and without spreading around to those
Interested they motion to adopt time as of Sun
day May 25 reversing their stand Of previous
people might call it attack Others might call it put
ting the opposition" Still others might term it
demonstration which that did enough interest
in civic matters at the annual election
What there to prevent the council by using same
methods used Monday night decide the fire engine
the posoce or to raise the tax rate between scheduled sessions
You this sounds silly and perhaps does but one can
see the trend such activity possible in small community
then wonder the federal government gets awav
with much
There not have been any intent on the part of some
OF the council MEMBERS but certainly and dried a
fair that engineered before the meeting was called to
opposed to daylight time know such meeting scheduled
especially since they had felt by official action previously
that no new action to be taken.
There attempt by Mayor Hesen to show that the
council would not be reversing itself because the question had
been abed at the previous meeting reading of the minutes
however, showed that decision had been and there was
mention of "tabing."
Concerning daylight saving time ITSELF The Republican re-
Teats It's stand that it opposed the confusion resulting from
sections being daylight while other sections remain on
standard and hopes that by next regulation will
be outlined and put of the people, decided once and
Tor all time To allow cities counties follow the whms of
those VINO happen to be governing without regard to the en-
tire population silly procedure and that ought to be
permanently settled
