SUMMER TIME.
—— SUPPORT PLEDGED TO MIL SIDEY. Wellington, June It). At a recei ( meeting the committee of the Summer Time Appreciation Movement it was reported that in Wellington more than 0000 persons had voluntarily subscribed to mark their approval of the Act of last session and numerous expressions of opinion were received as to the beneficial effect of the change. It was decided to give Air. T. R. Sidey every assistance in his efforts next- session to place the measure permanently on the Statute Book.
No definite decision was arrived at as to how Mr. Sidey’s services, up to the present, should be recognised. The most popular suggestion was that a medal he struck to he known as the T. K. Sidey Summer Time Medal, to lie awarded periodically together with a substantial monetary prize to the person who has made the most contribution to our knowledge of light- as it relates lo human welfare. The fund still remains open.
