Daylight Saving Movement
Gets Under Way Here; May 5
Be Started First of Month
A movement got under way today among Klam I
ath Falls merchants to inaugurate the daylight sav- '
ing plan in this city during July and August. So''
enthused are the merchants over the idea that they'.'
are planning to call a. meeting of the Merchants' .
"Bureau within the next few days to make a defin
ite decision. - ...
It was proposed to advance the clocks one hour,
starting , the first of the month. In this wa,Y it would
give clerks an additional hour of daylight after ;'
the clay's work is over, and also would make it
more convenient for shoppers and the public gen
erally. . .-,' '' '.'':". '
It is understood that the plan will be taken up ;
with the mill operators at once in an effort to see .'
if they, too, would cooperate in the movement. .
Daylight saving was general throughout the coun
try during the war, and in most instances met with '
ready support. Its chief advantage is that it per-;
mits the workers to start an hour earlier in the
morning while it is yet cool, and give them a chance
to get an extra hour of daylight for recreation after
work in the afternoon.
The only possible drawback pointed out was in
train schedules, but with only one train operating '
each way, it was believed that the Southern Pacific
would be willing to adapt itself to the temporary ;
arrangement. .
Among the merchants who favor the plan are
Henry N. Moe of the Woman's Store, E.W. Vannice
gC the Golden Rule, K. Sugarman, O. M, Hector of
Hector's shop, Roy Durbin of the K. K. K. store, '
Santford Jones of Santford and Co., providing it
is made general in the county. ; ;
