boy in order to go with another

self clear about dates or does
he just expect you to stay home

Time will 60 haywire in Wash
ington tonight. and ordinary folks
should be mighty careful about
this business Of synchronizing
watches-even in the Pentagon.
The official end of daylight saw
ing time will come at 2:01 am. to-
morrow. The sensible thing to do
at that hour would be to set all
your clocks and watches back to
1:01 am. and go back to sleep
or. better still, just stay asleep.
But some folks-including Un-
Gle Sam-just can't keep their
hands off things. so they'll start
turning back the clocks ahead of
time. And some folks-including
Uncle Sam-like to put things of
as long as they can, so they'll
just ignore the 2:01 am. dead
line and attend to their clocks
when they get around to it tomor-
row after they've had a good
nights sleep.
Smooth Operation.
Then. too. there are the real
scientific folks. like the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co.
and Western Union. who'll attend
to the switchover from daylight to
standard so efficiently you won't
know whether you are going or
coming.
Take the telephone company
for instance. Dial Time of Day
Sterling 2525-at 2 am. and a
pleasant voice will say THE time
is 2 am" Dial the same number
a half hour later and the same
voice will say "the time is
1870 am"
At this point, don't get skepti-
cal and rush to look at Western
Union Clock, because then you
will really be confused. At 2:01 am
a man in a central office will push
a button and some 5000 Western
Union clocks all over town will
snap back from 2:01 to 2. He'll
do the same thing SO times more
before leaving the frustrated clocks
alone to go their standard way.
Big Clock To Pause
Uncle Sans clocks will be going
both ways at the same time. The
big clock in the old. Post ONCE
Building tower, for instance, will
go right on ticking of daylight
savings time until the autumn
