Change Clock
Next Sunday

Alright, folks, it's time again
to fool around with the clocks.
Daylight Saving Time will
make its entry into the lives
of everyone on Sunday, April
9th at 200 a. m. The simplest
way to meet the new schedule
is to move the hands ahead an
hour at Saturday bedtime.
Clock changes mean changes
in timetables, generally, so
persons using trains, buses,
planes, best check before leav-
ing home. Also some communi-
ties change their clocks at a
later date, and others not at all.
To avoid general confusion,
check again.
