CLOCKS “THANKED.”—A Japanese Shinto priest performing a farewell ceremony before a pile of old clocks about to be burned after working so many years (some as long as half a century) and to thank them for their services, in the precincts of Kanda Myojin Shrine in Tokyo. The old clocks were given by Tokyo’s clock and watch dealers, who also gave 130 new clocks to welfare homes. The ceremony took place on Time Day in Japan, which is to remind people to observe correct time.
