SYDNEY'S EXPERIENCES

SYDNEY, Jan. 8

Like all innovations the Daylight Saving Scheme is not meeting with universal approval. It came in with the heat wave, which continues to lend zest to the growing list of disabilities voiced through newspaper correspondence. While obeying business behests, there i s a distinct disinclination in private life to recognise the changed clock hours. House-wives and boardinghouse keepers complain that diners have struck against the evening meal till the cool following sunset. This spells a longer day and heavier duties for domestic workers. Another disability in the hot climate is retiring an hour earlier in the heat-soaked houses. This, however, i s very generally ignored, and, as a result, people He abed, being robbed of the cool morning hours' exercise. Early morning workers protest that they ar e compelled to retire before dark. For an hour's working time gained they lose'three hours' good sleep. Received 10.30 SYDNEY, .Tan. 8.
