Daylight Saving?
THE city government ot Fort Worth
I is pondering the -advisability of
establishing daylight saving time dur-
ing the summer months
We think it is a good idea for two
chief reasons First, we who work
will have more of the cool part of the
day in our morning working hours.
Second, those who golf, fish or engage
in other daylight recreation after work,
will have Mil extra hour of daylight to
do it in.
We do think it would be a goud.idea
to consult Dallas and if possible get
that nearby city to co-operate by adopt,
ing the same time schedule, so that
those who come and go between the
sister-ila will not be bothered with
time changes. "
