To th 0 Editor. Sir, —Now that the Summer Timo Bill is in force 1 would bo interested to know if New- Year comes in at 12 p.m. by thg clock or 1 a.m. in the morning.—l am etc. Interested. Hastings, 19/11/27. New Zealand’s acceptance of summer time is but another demonstration that the setting or clocks is left arbitrary to a country. With us at the stroke of 12 p.m. it is midnight, and as far as the Dominion is concerned that will be the time the New Year will come. —Editor H.B. “Tribune.”
