NEARING THE END
PERIOD OF SUMMER-TIME HOW TO PUT CLOCKS BACK In accordance with the Summer Time Act, the period of daylight-saving in the Dominion will terminate at 2 a.m., New Zealand and standard time, on Sunday, March 4. This time is equivalent to 3 a.m. summer time. It will then be necessary for all clocks to be put back one hour. Reporting on the subject to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the Government Astronomer and Seismologist (Dr C. E. Adams) points cut, witli respect to the reversion, that great care will be necessary in the case of striking clocks, to see that Hie striking mechanism is not put out of order. Tlie simplest and safest method of putting the clock back one hour, he states, is to move it forward eleven hours, care being exercised to see that the clock strikes the full chimes and hours as it is moved forward. In the case ol public clocks, Dr. Adams states that it would be desirable to muffle the sound of the striking while this is being done.
His recommendation that this information be placed before the controlling authorities of all public clocks in New Zealand is being given effect to.
