DAYLIGHT SAVING.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — Now that Parliament has “ turned down ” daylight saving, it is incumbent on the townsfolk to get busy and demand a referendum. The residents in the country are too scattered to form a solid body. If the townsfolk adopt these tactics, I am sure they will obtain more support from the country districts than they expect. I would like to quote part of one member’s speech when the Bill was up for second reading. He stated that the towns could adopt daylight saving if they wanted it; but what about Government offices, etc., if they were to close at 4 p.m.? I am quite sure most office workers would be agreeable to starting an hour earlier, but just imagine what a rumpus the farmer would make if this were done. I would enjoin all office workers to vote in a Parliament this year that will do something for the towns. The farmer has had the running of this country too long.—l am, etc., Country Supporter. Owaka, July 28.
