Time Question
Again In News

The question of time-standard
or daylight-will be back in the
news within the next few days.
Daylight Saving time is sched-
uled to go into effect in many
northeastern states on Sunday,
April 20.
The County Commissioners have
taken no formal action this year
but it has been discussed. II. d.
Swartzentruber, president, said he
believed he would favor daylight
time again this year, while Com
missioner Aubrey Brenneman said
he was inclined to favor Standard
time 1t was not learned how f. A.
Roth, the third commissioner, stood
on the question.
Last year for the first time the
County government tried Daylight
Saving time.
The Mayor and Town Council of
Oakland plan to take action at its
regular meeting on Monday, April
8. For the past several years the
town government has decreed day
light time and it is presumed the
same action will take place this
year.
Grantsville and Bloomington,
towns near the Allegany county
border, will in all probability go
on daylight time as they have done
for the past several years. Crellin,
mining town, four miles west of
Oakland, probably will do the
same again.
Official action in the matter will
be taken by the Board Of Education
when it meets next Tuesday. II
was intimated that in order to avoid
utter confusion in bus schedules
that we're intcr-county in some in
| stances, that the schools would
operate on daylight time However,
Willard L. Hawkins, county super
intendent of schools, said the board
would decide this officially next
week.
Voters are scheduled to decide
once and for all at the general
election in November. At that time
there will be public referendum
on the question. The bill was
passed at the 1855 session of the
General Assembly.
If passed the bill would require
the county government and all mu-
nicipal governments to 60 on day
light saving time at a. m, on the
last Sunday in April and remain
on it until the last Sunday in Sep
