Mrs. Swift said this week:
“We will try during the Cru

stress the value in cancer de

Daylight
Time Starts
This Sunday
Sunday at 1 a. m. will see
daylight saving time go into ef
fect all over Oregon This time
Oregon will conform to the rest
of the nation in setting clocks
ahead an hour.
Last year Oregon was in a
real state of confusion with part
of the state under daylight sav
ing time, the rest on slow time
or standard time. This was ex
tremely confusing to all resi
dents.
A measure on the ballot last
year cleared the way for mak
ing daylight saving time offi
cial and legal throughout the
state.
With California and Washing
ton both on daylight time, it
made it real confusing for ev-
eryone when Oregon remained
on standard time. This will
give residents another hour of
daylight in the evening to work
up a sweat doing their yard
work. Some might even get in
a few rounds of golf or an extra
hour of fishing.
