In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Question:
Did you get up at 2 o'clock
this morning and set your
clocks back an hour? -
Probably not.
But that was the exact mo
ment at which Daylight Saving
Time ended in Oregon. If you
didn't change your clocks then,
you were BEHIND time until
you did change them.
And-
Here's news for you:
If you want to stay right on
V,the button as to time, you'll
have to make ANOTHER
CHANGE on Thursday of this
week, at 4 p.m. Pacific Stand
ard Time.
At that exact moment, you
must turn your clocks back
100 MILLISECONDS. A milli
second is one-thousandth of a
second. So 100 milliseconds will
be a tenth of a second.
You'll have to be rather care
ful about it, for a tenth of a
second isn't very much time. If
you overshoot the mark, you'll
be ahead of time again and
goodness knows we've had
ruckuscs enough already over
this business of fast time.
Let's not start another one.
Why all this monkey business?
Well, according to the U.S.
Naval Observatory and the Na
tional Bureau of Standards, the
earth is SLOWING DOWN. It
will have slowed down 100 milli
seconds more in the four days
intervening between 2 a.m. this
Sunday morning and A p.m. on
Thursday of this week.
That raises Ihis question:
How old is the earth?
Scientists, using what is
known as the uranium - lead
method, estimate that the earth
is probably somewhat more
than TWO BILLION years old.
We will probably all agree that
at that advanced age it can
hardly be blamed for slowing
down a little.
Most of us mere mortals
start slowing down much earlier.
One more question:
How did this daylight saving
business get started?
Thank Benjamin Franklin for
it or tell him off, depending on
how you feel about the whole
conlroversial business.
When he was U.S. ambassa
dor to France, he woke up one
morning with the sun well up
in the sky and started fretting
about the waste of candles. It
occurred to him suddenly that
if everybody went to bed an
hour earlier and got up an hour
earlier a lot of candle wax
could be saved.
He mentioned the idea to the
French authorities, but then as
now nobody in Paris was even
faintly interested in g o i n g to
, bed early not to mention get
ting up early the next morning.
So his idea died in infancy. It
as resurrected in 1918 to save
daylight hours tor the World
War 1 war effort.
We've been fighting about it
evef since.

KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON,
Five Escape
Light Plane
Crash Here
A small, civilian plane crash
landed shortly after taking off
from Kingsley Field Saturday
evening and burst into flames,
but not until after its five pas
sengers, including two children,
had fled to safety.
The plane w as owned and pi
loted by Emory Lee Wine, 1089
Park Street, Ashland. Passen
gers included Leo Curtis Wine,
42, Cheri Ann Wine, 12, and Cur
tis Paul Wine, 7, all of 1089
Park Street, Ashland, and Gor
don Ray Peterson, 35, Shady
Grove.
The Oregon State Police said
live pilot told them he had just
taken off at about 5:35 p.m. and
had climbed to 50 or 75 feet
when his engine began to lose
power. Wine said he could not
steer the plane, the right wing
dipped and he began losing al
titude. The pilot was able to bring
the plane in for a rough landing
in a stubble cut field, about
one-half mile south of Airway
Drive and slightly more than a
mile cast of the air base.
The five scrambled out of the
1049 Stinson aircraft. Police
said the jplnne hurst into flames
less than a minute after it hit
the ground and was totally de
stroyed with only a small sec
tion of the tail remaining.
Police said one of the chil
dren received a slight bump on
the head, but other than that
there were no injuries in the
near tragedy.
Officers said Wine recently
had flown the four-place plane
to Oregon from South America.
He was forced to land at Klam
ath Falls early this week be
cause of bad weather at Ash
land. The three adults and two
children had come over to Klam
ath Falls Saturday afternoon to
lly the craft on to Ashland.

There were some fears that
even if the four men were found
