DAYLIGHT SAVING.
FAVOURED BY BOWLERS. Christchurch, Sept. 11. The principle of the daylight saving scheme being adopted in New Zealand for the summer months was affirmed at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Bowling Association to-day. The i Wellington centre wrote in support of daylilght saving. Mr. M. M. McCallum (Auckland) said he thought Mr. Massey’s proposed compromise to the effect that the clock be put forward exactly twelve hours ahead of Greenwich time was the best they could get. That would give them half an hour extra in the evenings. Mr. L. G. Blackwell (Christchurch) said that would mean that in Invercargill people would have to start work at daybreak. Mr. McCallum: Tn the winter time. Mr. Blackwell; Yes; but that is not what the bowlers want. Wo want the extra hour in the summer months only. Mr. W. Coltman (Auckland) said they were all in favour of daylight saving, but he did not see any possibility of getting it through, as the country members, who were so strong in the House, were against it. He moved that this association is in favour of the principle of daylight saving. The motion was carried unanimously.
