It’s that time . . . again . . .
changing time time. If you go
to bed Saturday night at a de-
scent hour, while you’re snooz-
ing Sunday at 2 a.m., almost
the entire nation will silently
slip back into the old Standard
Time and Daylight Saving time
(hurrah!) will die for the next
six months ... at least.
If you want to do things the
simple way, just turn your clock
back an hour Saturday before
going to bed. But, if you’re one
who follows the line right down
the road, you can set your alarm
(Saturday night) at 2 a.m. and
then get up and turn your clock
back an hour. Means an hour
more l^fore having to get on
the job,#
Changing time is a crazy thing,
anyway. By this time of year,
the days have grown so much
shorter the change will not give
much early morning light. And,
bedtime^ will never-never come.
YoC^ens have been strol-
ling around most of the sum-
mer at 9 p.m., long past bed-
time, but the sun was still shin-
ing. Won’t be long though until
those who work until 6 p.m.
will be going home in night dark-
ness ... *
The sun will rise Saturday
at 7 :43 a.m. and set at 6:42
p.m.
But, Sunday, after the change,
it will be 6:44 a.m. when the sun
shows and it will go to sleep
at 5:41 p.m.
Earlier? . . .Later? . . .Is
that really the truth?
Wonder what became of those
three fellows who put up such
an argument when the April 29
change was made to Daylight?
They were told to move their
clocks up an hour. They argued
. . . Anybody knew “Daylight Sa-
ving meant turn ’em BACK an
hour.”
Guess they either got fired
for being late or have gone to
work all summer one hour be-
hind tijm
MethlSks it will be nice to
get back to “sun time” and for-
get “ctesfc time.”

You football fans have read
columns and columns through the
years of your favorite games.
The Hometown Reporter goes
to great pains to bring the Home-
town Game to you in detail.
But, James Roberts, publisher
of The Andrews County News,
wins the gold-platted pigskin for
his report of the Andrews-Fort
Stockton game played Friday
night in Andrews: The complete
story is:
THE Panthers of Fort Stock-
ton, doormats of District 2AAA
and ranked 109 in the state, slip-
ped quietly into town Friday night
— unnoticed, unheralded, un-
wanted.
The afcidrews Mustangs, win-
ners oi^four games and ranked
25th in the state, were loved,
laudec^ and lavished with at-
tentioi#during homecoming fes-
tivities.
A slight hitch developed in the
chain of events. The Panthers
came to play football while the
Mustangs continued with Home-
coming.
Final score: Panthers 14,Mus-
tangs 7.

Texas "mJ , Department
Proposes Changes For 302
Kermit City • Councilmen,
meeting Tuesday night, heard a
report from City Manager Jim
Morgan of changes in Highway
302 which have been proposed
by Texas Highway Department.
Original plans were for the
highway, from the east city limits
to the west city limits, to be a
four-lane highway, with two lanes
for eastbound traffic and two
for westbound, divided with a
median.
The Department has proposed
that the median plan be discard-
ed and replaced with a lane for
left-turn traffic only.
This change, Morgan explained,
would mean that street lights,
which were to have been placed
along the median, would have to
be put on either side of the Adams, John Kirby, Burle Green
highway. and Fred Pearson.
Morgan was instructed to con- Also present were W„ G.
