DSTor Fiddling Wit h the Clock
Its daylight' saving time again, or at
least it will be in•a day or' two.
Seaforth area people, like those in
most communities across Ontario and
much of Canada will move their 'clocks
ahead before they go to bed Saturday
night.
Whiledaylight saving time no- long-
er contributes to the confusion it once
did, there continues to be problems
even if of a relatively minor nature as
the Acton Free Press reminds us in
these words :—
"In some provinces where farmers
have lost the fight to keep "God's time",
the cows will be in udder confusion. In
others, the cows will be fine, but moth-
ers will be harrassed, transportation
men derailed and school officials will
"make war upon this tyrant Time."
Main complaint about the entire sys-
tem is the lack pf uniformity. It might
be daylight saving time in Acton but
Reading the News
Every once in a'•while, says the Dart-
mouth, N.S. Free Press, somebody who
ought to know .better comes `up with the
dream of a newspaper' without 'adver,
Using.
• The Pictolx Advocate recalls in a re-
cent editorial that one of the most soph-
isticated cities in North America, New
York, had this dream come true. In 1939
Ralph Ingersoll brought. out- a tabloid
newspaper, PM, "that had not a line of
advertising in it. It cost -a little more,
but it was worth every penny of it and
some of the best writes in North. Am-.
. erica wrote for it.
Realizing that• the public do look to
newspapers for information • to help
them shop, PM pa an excellent column
for consumers such as would have .de-
lighted the hearts of Consumers Asso-
ciations everywhere. It ferreted out
bargains, pinpointed vahie, and gave
a yardstick against 'which to shop. It
had a faithful; enchanted following ---,-
and.
andit failed, despite heavy subsidiza-
tion, to get on its feet,. -
That was in 1939. Today, to give the
public a paper without advertising
would cost, on a conservative estimate,
50 cents' to one dollar a copy. The few
cents the subscriber pays for a copy
over in Kokomo the town fathers have
decided not to tamper with Time.
It's mighty confusing.
Each year resistance to D.S.T. gets
weaker. This summer, 'more than half
the provinces will turn their clocks
forward on the last Sunday in April. •
There are still pockets of resistance,
some large, some small.
Man, being a creature of habit, dis- •
likes fiddling with the clock. For some
it's difficult enough to 'et out of bed -fn '
the morning without making it an hou
earlier with the advent of D.S.T. Once
the nice weather cozies' a fellow likes
to enjoy it. Consequently D.S.T. robs
you of an hour's sleep. -
So when it comes to arguing about
the merits of D.S.T. this writer is on
the side of the cons. Like ihost other
people, however, I get used to it.
Sure is nice to get that hour of sleep
back in the -Fall, though, the writer
concludes.

costs -- if that. Once it also covered
the cost of the newsprint, but that day
is long since gone. Advertising and ad-
vertising alone brings the public the
news of -the community at a price that
the public can pay.
And there is more to it than that. Peo-
ple buy papers not only to read-' the
news, they buy' them to read the adver-
tiseinents. They, buy papers because
they are a permanent records, in black
and White. • The paper remembers for
you 'in detail and specifics. It is a
source that can be referred to, time and
time again at your reonvenience.-What's•
more, if you feel like buying a second
-copy, you can' always send it to 'Aunt
Minnie out in Saskatchewan, so she
can see for herself the important events
in the life of her former home town.
Newspapers and advertising are -axed
always will be partners in bringing the'
public the history' of its times. The ad-
vertisements
are often 'as• -much history
as the news, and historians can often
learn as much, if not more about the
life of a period by studying what the
people bought, how much they paid. for
it, and how advertising 'was planned
to attract their attention.
