OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS f "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it" Abraham Lincoln LONGER LIFE AND GREATER HAPPINESS Wouldn't it be a go-id thin;? for the United Stites to begin saving daylfght hours to ghj its citizens longer life and greater happiness? Last Sunday London et its c!' ks ahead one hour for the summer season, und. r an act of parliament that establishes daylight saving as en a.-,n'.-! institution with out needing new kgi.-ili.tion every yrvr. From now on daylight saving is a part of th fabric of British govern ment and a good one. Daylight saving was on of the good things that came out of the World war. America had a chance to try it. and liked it. Men aarl women are glad to start th? day's work an hour earlier by the sun when it means quitting with the best hours of the afternoon ahead for enjoyment. After the war daylight saving was permitted to lapse into a local affair. It became a football for prejudice based on old habits. It was made the target for oppo sition as bitter as it was vague. Some of this was blamed on the farmers, for just what reason no one has b?en able to get a clear idea. It is significant that it is in England, where agriculture is more fostered and bettor protected than anywhere else, that the great reform has become a permanent national institution. Since America is too late to lead the way in this humanitarian enterprise, no time should be lost in falling into line. To be successful, daylight saving must be national and operated under a federal statute. Congress should pass a law providing that for official time, all clocks Should be set ahead one hour at midnight. March 31, and act ba.k an hour September 'M to our present time', for the term of the winter. Undoubtedly many objections will be raised, but none is important enough to stand in the wav of this pro gressive step, and most of these will be found to have no force once the plan is working. o THE SHORTER BIBLE The shorter Bible is much shorter. Its compiles were obviously drys. and being drys, undoubtedly funda mentalists. Mr. Bryan is the country's best known dry and best known fundamentalist. He ,.s certainlv both. The belief of the fundamentalist is in the literal meaning and inspirational source of the Bible intact They do not require an ecclesiastical interpretation or tolerate a sc.ent.lic one. The words are as they stand, mean what they mean, and are accepted as in themselves definite and final. Some fundamentalists will quarrel with that state ment and say that interpretation is needed, but they are safe only when they insist that the literal meaning is plain and to be accepted. The dry fundamentalists in shorten" in the Bible edited the favorable mention of wine out of it. particularly out of St. John and St. Paul, striking out he miracle of the wedding feast at Cana and St I aul s advice that a little wine was good for the stomach They also, among other things, eliminated the ac count of the regrowing of the grape vine by Noah and the . ,u... u, uiai. i ney also approved of "raisin cake" as a better translation of the original than "wine" To shorten a work you must take things out, but this shorten ing took out things which the drys could not reconcile to a dry dogma. They ceased h(!ing fumlam(;ntalists they found something they did not want to believe The word is not literal to them wh,,, it conflicts wilh J",, C 0TD ""o '"''"''"V'o-l'-ttor combinations ,re: C.
