Rooster Did Not Change Time
Last weeks issue of the G.
E News carried a front page
picture of the Chester home of
Yaro Sojka. It pictured Mr..
Sojka reaching out of a win
dow and throwing a shoe at a
rooster sitting on a fence and
Growing. Evidently the rooster
did not know that the time had
changed and continued to a
waken the Sojka family at the
same time as throughout the
summer.
The conclusion was based on
the fact that Mr.. Sojka, who
is employed at the G enera
Electric Wire Works arrived for
work one hour early the morn
ing after daylight saving time
changed to normal time. The
rooster received the b a me
but the truth of the matter was
that the Sojkas forgot to turn
back the clock.
