SUMMER TIME.
TO THE EDITOB 07 THIS PRESS. Sir, — I am amused to read of all the congratulations Mr Sidey is receiving on the passing of the above law. One would think it advisable to try it out before being so jubilant over- rising one hour earlier. Certainly it may be all right for the townsfolk whose day does not start usually till nine or ten o'clock and ends at five sharp. To start work an hour earlier should not hurt them, but what about the country farmers and. their wives who rise at 5 a.m. now. So far as I can see the Bill has v been passed to enable city dwellers to have an hour or two's sport at -the end of the day's work, but„.why should we all suffer in the interest of sport P I notice the new law comes into force on Sunday the 6th inst. I presume this is arranged so as not to give the systems of our sports loving friends too great a shock. Anyhow I hope I'll be down for the Cup (shearing permitting) and for once enjoy a- long lie in bed on November sth, and I sincerely hope all the Guy Fawkes boys won't remember November sth too early.—Yours,, etc., OLD TIMER.
