The Perfect Christmas Gift
Carnaby Street, U.S.A.
Teens love this sort of gift,
too. This year, for my own teen’s
Christmas, I’m planning to bring
Carnaby Street to her room—in a
wild, vivid decor. The method to
the modness starts with lots of
bright colors. I’ll use Bates Pip-
ing Rock bedspread—in a luscious
shade of parrot green with a bold
headboard covered in slick black
vinyl to set off the color. The new
transparent vinyl pillows, a fluffy
fake fur rug, and loads of jumbo
vari-colored paper flowers will
finish my task with virtually no
effort. Why not try this unusual
kind of present this Christmas?
It’s for sure this will be one gift
that won’t be opened, then for-
gotten or broken after Christmas

In April, 1966, Congress
passed the Uniform Time Act.
I was one of 30 members of
the House who voted against
it. I did this because the bill
left no room for variance in a
big state such as ours. It said
that every state must observe
Daylight Saving Time, annu-
ally, beginning on the last
Sunday in April, 1967, unless
the legislature of that state
specifically exempts the state
from such provisions. It said
further that if part of a state
observed Daylight Saving
Time, all of the state must do
so.
The question was presented
to the 1967 session of the Tex-
as State legislature. A bill
was introduced, and strongly
supported by most West Texas
members, exempting Texas
from the Daylight Saving
Time provisions. After full de-
bate, the vote was taken and
the Texas Legislature voted
down the provision to reject..
and thereby accepted Day-
light Saving Time. I am in-
formed by file Department of
Transportation, which admin-
isters the act, that any state
can reconsider and reject Day-
light Saving Time at any future
session. But such action is up
to the State Legislature, and
must apply to the entire state.
The two westernmost counties
of my District, El Paso and
Hudspeth, feared that they
might have to advance their
clocks two hours instead of one.
These counties have always ob-
served Mountain Standard Time,
although an act of Congress,
passed in 1921, had placed all
of the state in the Central Time
Zone. The 1921 act -was inten-
ded to apply only to the Pan-
handle and Plains areas of Tex-
as, as was stated on the floor
of the House at the time. But,
the fine print actually delin-
eating the boundaries of the
time-zones placed all of Tex-
as in Central Standard Time.
No effort was made to apply
the regulations in El Paso
HUDSPETH COUNTY HERALD-Dell Valley Review, DEC. IS, 1967
My Fellow West Texans--
Congressman
Richard C. White
As the people of my District turned back their clocks one hour on
the last Sunday of October, they ended their first experience since
World War II with Daylight Saving Time. But, under the law, Texas
and all the other states who tailed to reject Daylight Saving Time
will return to it on the last Sunday in April. Many of my constitu-
ents are asking me----X*Why?" Some of them say, "What is Con-
gress trying to do to us?" Some even say, "What are YOU trying to
do to us?" I hope some explanation will be helpful.
and Hudspeth Counties, but
the 1966 Uniform Time Bill,
for the first time, provides
enforcement for legally estab-
lished time-zones. Clearly,
under the law, El Paso and
Hudspeth Counties could be
forced to observe Central Stan-
dard Time.
To prevent such a develop-
ment, I introduced H. R. 3168
in January 1967. It would per-
mit these two counties to pe-
tition for Mountain Standard
Time and require the Depart-
ment of Transportation to
consider such petition and hold
hearings on the subject. While
this bill is pending, the De-
partment of Transportation has
agreed to defer any enforcement
of Central time in the area.
The Department of Transpor-
tation and many others are
sympathetic to the problem of
far West Texas; and understand
the merit in the position of
these two counties, not to
change to Central Standard
Time. However, they fear
that if I brought my bill to tire
floor, many (dissident) mem-
bers over the nation would try
to amend this bill to change
their own districts back, and
recreate the patch-work the au-
thors were trying to eliminate
in the first place. Therefore,
it was tentatively understood
that to avoid such a Christmas
tree effect on my bill, Sena-
tor Yarborough would intro-
duce my bill in the form of an
amendment that I have drawn,
amending some non-contro-
versial bill in the Senate. By
the Rules this can be done by
tire Senate, but not by the
House. The next quest is a
proper parent bill. Thus, we
hope to avoid our measure be-
ing drawn into a controversy
with other states which also
wish to change their time zones.
I continue to urge quick action
on this. Meanwhile, the De-
partment of Transportation pro-
mises to continue its deferment
of enforcement.
Nothing to buy!
Just for taking a demonstration ride and
making us an offer on any new or used
car in stock!
