County bucks time change A resolution from the ity of Toronto seeking exten- ion of Daylight Savings Time drew criticism from some members of the Huron Coun- ty Council. City of Toronto officials would like to extend the period of Daylight Saving Time in 1984 and all subse- quent years so that it would begin the first Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. The resolution has been circulated to many municipal- ities across Ontario and show of hands at county council, Thursday, suggested few, if any, local councils supported the move. I speaking to the resolu- tion, Robert Bell said the extension would only have a,-"- significant ,Fsignificant effect in March. "Spring would -be the only real change and school child,. ren could be boarding busses in some areas in the dark and because of that safety factor we should not concur with the resolution. If the city of Toronto could show some semblance of energy conservation by ex- ample, then the resolution could be more palatable, Paul .Steckle of Stanley Township said. "Toronto should practice it themselves because when- ever I go there lights are burning for 24 hours," he said. "They could start with their own city. The rural municipalities would not benefit from this." MacLean's Flowers With complete floral service Funeral and Wedding Work SEAFORTH INSURANCE 39 Main St.. S.
