OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS

"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.

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",,
