( Mosl Os Slate To r ‘ $4Go On Fast Time Tinte Changeover To Be Made Tonight IndUhbpolis, April 28.—(UP)— Most, HOosiers will turn their clocks ahead one hour tonight and live on daylight saving time until ♦he last weekend in September. Most .cities will make the tijne ■ change officially at 2 a.in. Sunday. Northern Indiana will operate almost solidly on daylight time but .many cities in the south will remain on central standard time. The usual Confusion will result.

Diekmann, the city council and n the ('hamber of Commerce joined e in urging) the adoption of fast n time. \ . A '., j. In a few- cities, businessmen ~ are going on daylight time, de,f spite ‘ths lack of official action bee cause of a ‘‘toothless” state law P time. Mayor Archie Hamin of Brazil said his city e would remain on standard time, e but schools, business, industry, h and the post office will operate on it daylight time. ' ~ Seymour was undecided what to do until the Chamber of Com- _ merce announced that nearly all business and industry favored the change to fast time. Bedford and Mitchell will not go op daylight time until 2 a.m., y Monday,. 24 hours later than other g cities. The departure from the e normal changing hour was taken 8 sp churches could avoid the conn fusion, that goes with the time change; . lt Many communities delayed acs tion to find out which time larger neighboring cities were going on. n North' Vernon, Brownstown, and s Scottsburg were expected ,to go e along wth Seymour.
