DAYLIGHT SAVING
Sir, — You might please allow me a few lines on the subject of the Daylight Saving Bill which at present is giving our Parliament such concern and longhours. Why such preference to this Bill? The Prime Minister admitted there were two to one against it. And in spit© of that it is pushed forward. There are many important Bills before the House from session to session; for instance, the Small Shopkeepers’ Hours and the Bible in Schools Bills, which would benefit the community and are stonewalled and postponed or brought forward in the ‘‘washing-up” bill and then treated as rubbish. There is a vast difference in those Bills. All credit to the member who is determined this Daylight Bill should be put on the Statute Book with the many others which are of no benefit, but it seems ridiculous to me, wasting time and money in trying to alter Nature and the clock, instead of enacting the many necessary reforms that are needed to help the country. F AIRPLAY.
