HALF AN HOUR

Clocks Must be Altered Tonight I SUMMER TIME AT HAND Tonight New Zealand will filch half an hour from the darkness and add it to tomorrow’s daylight. i Householders in every part of the | country must remember that Summer. I or Sidey Time, is at hand, otherwise | churchgoers will be late tomorrow. | trams will be missed, and family proj grammes woefully upset. | Simple, conscientious folk may deem I it necessary to conform to the letter of ! the law and sit up until 2 a.m. f the | ceremony of disturbing the hall c.ock |at the official hour. Most of us. how--1 ever, will be content to turn on the i minute-liand and gain that extra half j an hour either late in the evening or early tomorrow morning. Those who have extended their Saturday night into the early hours of the Sabbath may have the privilege of | watching Government and City Council clocks spin forward as the hour of 2 a.m. is struck, This should be remembered lest it be accepted by stray revellers as a preliminary to unorthodox zoological exhibitions on the City’s L footpaths. • I Ferry, bus, train and tram services j will run tomorrow by the advanced time. No exceptions will be made this year to suit the convenience of isolated r farmers, and trains throughout New Zealand will leave and arrive half an ' hour ahead of normal time. Again, wireless enthusiasts are ; warned that the act of putting on.the - clock will set New Zealand two hours ; ahead of Australian time. Calendars , should be read with proper allowance for the change in the Dominion’s stan- ‘ dard. ; According to the Summer Time Act, the clock will be put back at two o’clock on the morning of Sunday, March 16, 1930, thus giving the country L the benefit of daylight saving for 5£ months.
