Letter to the Editor
DEAR EDITOR:
This has, so far, been a cold
steady winter, but spring must be
just around the corner, as letters
to the Editor are appearing on
that potent topic, "Daylight Sav-
ing time." In past years the only
comment about daylight saving
time came from the opposition, For
the sake of variety, maybe we
should deviate from the usual style
and say something in favour of it.
.Yom my small store of agricul-
tural knowledge, I gather that
daylight saving time fits in better
with the modern high speed
methods of harvesting that are al-
most general practice now .I have
they prefer daylight time, as they
can work till dinner -time, until
the dew is off, at some other job,
and harvest the rest of the day
when the crops are dry, and not
find themselves jumping from job
to job or have their day all cut
up in little pieces,
For the farmer to cuss the bus-
inessman, and the businessman to
shrug his shoulder when the far-
mer complains about all the abuse
he has to take on account of the
fast time is all right; it is to be
expected, but to start talking about
chickens and 'children is taking in
a lot of territory; they both show
more sense than grown-ups can
possibly ever put to use.
If a farmer gets up with the
chickens he will have no trouble
in getting the milk ready for the
milk truck, and if he goes to bed
with the children no doubt he
will get more sleep than he does
any other way. As for the child-
ren; of my own child -hood days,
which are Iong gone, my fondest
recollections are of the long sum-
mer days. If the children get up
with the sun and go to bed with
the sun tin summer time) I don't
think they miss very much, except
maybe a lot of crap on TV which
they would be better without.
The correspondent, "Hay Town-
ship Farmer" reminds us that
God put the sun in the sky to
govern our day. Righ—but the
sun also rises a lot earlier in
summer than in winter. Man
made the clocks which are incap-
able of attiming themselves to the
rest of nature.
When you observe plant, anim-
al, bird and fish life, the way they
change their habits with the sea-
sons, and sunlight, man and his
clocks look rather stupid.
If anyone would like to lie in
bed till the sun burns a hole in
the covers, that, I suppose, is up
to him; personally we Iike to see
the sunrise.
