• ADVANCING THE CLOCKS. HALF AN HOUR FROM NEXT SUNDAY. The Summer Time Bill, which was finally passed by Parliament on Saturday, provides that summertime shall operate from the second Sunday in October until the third Sunday in March. The Act wiH expire on September 30, 1929, unless Parliament otherwise determines. It provides that the time for general purposes shall, during the period of summertime, be thirty minutes in advance of New Zealand standard time. Nothing in the Act is to affect the use of standard tiirfe for purposes of astronomy, meteo-i rology, of’navigation, or affect the construction of any document mentioning or referring to a point of time in connection with any of those matters. The period of summertime shall be taken to be the period beginning at two o’clock next Sunday and ending at two o’clock, New Zealand standard time, in the morning of the third Sunday in March. It will therefore be householders to advance their clocks by half an hour next Saturday night to conform to summertime.
