'However, the continuation of daylight saving time to- late Octo- ber is carrying the nonsense much too far and creating hardships 'for rural people that should 'be vigor- ously Protested by all farm organi, nations, More than that the time differ- ence in neighboring municipalities is creating conthsion, inconven- ience for many and a situation that should not be allowed to exist in a modern organized community of sensible people, A crowning ex- ample of the folly to which citizens will submit is found In one Wes- tern Ontario town where a district high school is operated on stan- dard time and the public school on daylight saving time, The rights and limited sovereign- ty of municipalities should be guarded, but it is highly question- able whether local governments ,should be permitted to exercise jurisdiction over such an import- ant factor in -the lives of all the people as is time, It would lessen the chaos and help to • maintain order in business, 'communications and in the lives of citizens gener- ally if any deviation from legal time were regulated by Provincial statutes and these decided by the Majority wish of all the people, Life Underwriters Met at Waterloo The Life Underwriters Associa- tions of Guelph, Owen Sound, Sau- geen and Waterloo County, who are affiliated with the Life Under- writers Aspociation of Canada, held their regional convention for 1957 in Waterloo on Tuesday of last week, Outstanding speakers were pre- sent from Canada and the United States, including Robert C.
