Time Confusion Keeps on Confusing
We've kept our ae pretty well on this time muddle In
Oregon, but we tfcine so e.aiprrated over an Incident thl
tntk that wf ran no longer withhold comment
A rUr. whom we have watched develop Into a ung ldy
from babyhood 20 year ago. was married Sunday In Forest
Grove. We left Heppner for the wedding with plenty of time
ta leach the destination, we thought, some 2.V) miles away.
But a we reared Portland the horrible thought came that
Forest Grove la on daylight saving time, same as Portland.
ThU coupled with a little motor trouble on the road, resulted
In our mlsMng the nlece'a wedding, aomethlng that we had
planned on attending for 20 years.
ThU wasn"t the first time the confusion fooled u. It caused
us to miss connections on a Portland appointment recently.
But the thought comes how many hundreds of times daily
do people in the Mate mUs important engagements, get fooled
on train and bua connections, and are generally Inconvenienced
by the time muddle? Some mighty Interesting feature stories
could be told by many, we suppose, who have had Incongruous
experiences because of time Inconsistencies.
The legislature may have satisfied soms of its constit
uent by passing the "local option" time bill, but It certainly
didn't hold to the voters' mandate who defeated daylight time
at the polls Just last year.
We have no great personal convictions either way on day
light or atandard time. We can see advantages and disadvan
tages of each.
However, we do have the conviction that the legislature
acted unwisely and undcmocratlcalJy on the time matter. The
people have a right to feel rebuffed when the legislators turned
against the expressed mandate at the polls. When the majority
spoke by ballot, the lawmakers in good conscience had no right
to try to find a way to circumvent this decision. It is conceded
that there are many in the state who had sound and evert
urgent reasons for wanting daylight time. But there were also
many who had sound and urgent reasons for wanting Richard
Nixon to be president, too, but they accept John Kennedy In that
position simply because the majority voted for him.
By acting contrary to the voters' expression, the legislature
took a step that helps tend to make the public lose confidence in
this lawmaking body. The confusion doesn't eliminate Itself with
the passing of time, but gets worse. One thing we are learning
for sure we have to be either on standard time or daylight
time In ensuing years. This time muddle Is good for no one and
is hard on everyone.
