But it could be—It : could be • so very right if .We poor humans didn't try 30 tanproye on theway of the Almighty * , 4 4. Apropos of that' it looks as if the old •problem of daylight saving time' verses standard time Is rear- ing. its 'head ' again, some people wanting' one time, ...some another, with yet another group absolutely bewilieered, unable to snake up its mind' what it' wants or even«which time is better for the common good.

'Very few I Imagine, al- though to vote otherwise is very • short-sighted policy. I ask you— how long would the small town business man stay on his feet if it were not for his country custom? Ask any one of them and be will tell you the. farmer is his beat customer. And isn't it one of the principlesof good business to cat- er ater to the buying public? Wouldn't it therefore be in order if the businessmen' of small-town cont- inunities got together, went to their' council and said -"Look; here, the war is .over, Federal re- strictione have been removed` and we wantstandard time, We are, out to get all thetrade we can and if fast time is bad for the ' 'farinera, then it is bad for us and bed for our business." 5' • * Well, well—I was almost tor. getting my most important piece of 'news.
