TIME MARCHES ON
Beginning last Monday, Feb. 6, the
nation began observing what the Presi-
dent has officially designated as “war
time” which consists of merely turning
all clocks ahead one hour.
Everyone will observe the new time,
but some businesses may change their
office hours. In any event, however,
they will abide by the same time in
the clock’s dial as everyone else. We
were already off solar time, and this
just puts us one hour more off.
The Carrollton Chronicle will ob-
adrve the following new hchtrsc
8:39 a. m. to 5:31 p. m.
Unless otherwise specified in the
partcular article, all time stated in
The Chronicle this week and
hereafter will be new official war
time. Organizations wishing to keep
their meeting time the same as It
formerly was according to the sun
should set their docks ahead with
the rest of the nation, but should
call their meeting one hour later
according to the dock. Garden Club
for instance, which has been meet-
ing at 7:39 might find that there
would be more farm women able
to attend if (he meeting hour were
kept at the same time according
to the sunset
It’s simple, this new time. It corres-
ponds to the “daylight saving” time
observed each summer in the north an
east. Only war time will be in effeci
r the entire nation for the duration.
The principal difference will be that
the cock will crow one hour later,
according to your clock. The clock will
still tick 60 seconds to the minute, 60
minutes to the hour, 24 hours to the
day; the calendar will still have seven
days to the week, 52 weeks to the year
and history will still record 100 years
to the century.
According to Dallas Retail Merchants
Association, DaUas retail stores will
open at 9:30 a. m. and close at 6:00 j
