THE SUMMER-TIME ACT

Si r —J notice in The Dominion of February 16, that Mr. Sidey is acting in a kind of double role, being judge and jury at the came time, prating about the good this insidious canker, summer time (for it can be called by .no ether name), as it has eaten its way into eieiy walk in life, and has come to a point where it is impossible to endure it any longer. Let Mr. Sidey mention any one section of the community whom tins summer time has benefited, apart from the sports, who are the only people to be considered, in his estimation. Never mind the struggling dairy farmer, who has lost a million of money up to the present time, vide your correspondent, who has never been contradicted. The very' time in our national life when we needed to go carefully, and not have tho least disturbing influences to interfere with our financial resources or our boasted liberty, we have this Summer Time Act forced on us. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! We get this evil, which was tried on by a nation who to-day is licking the dust of all the feet of the nations she went to war with —a German war measure. Away with this proven evil, and the wrecker of every child life in the country. May its never darken our fair land again.—l am, etc., ANTI-DOPE. Palmerston North, February 16.
