SUMMER TIME
EARLIER ENDING DESIRED By Telegraph—Press Association WHANGAREI, June 23. That reverting to standard time in February instead of April would benefit farmers, was the opinion expressed by Mr J. H. Hayward, of the Maungatapere Dairy Co., at a meeting of the Whangarei Chamber of Commerce. The extension to April, he said, had an effect on the cream collection. Most companies collected daily, and the waggon had to start at 7 a.m., at least at the far end of the run. It was impossible that these suppliers could get their cream out in time, and it had to be held over, with consequent loss of quality. Mr Hayward proposes to move at the N.D.A. Conference, that summer time should be terminated in February. The Chamber is to consider the question at the next meeting.
