All Os Indiana On Same Time Sunday Daylight Time To Be Official On Sunday INDIANAPOLIS <UP) — Hoosiers will begin living on the same time next Sunday morning. For the first time in years, Hoosier clocks will be set at the same hour — Central Daylight Time. But no one knows if all clocks will conform next fall. The 1957 Legislature put “teeth” in a 1949 time law. The new law ordered all of Hoosierland to go on CDT on April 28, and stay there for five months, then go on Central Standard Time Sept. 29. B.ut many cities have been on year-round “fast time” for more than two years. These cities include Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne has taken steps to stay legally within the time law? but go on a schedule having the effect of daylight time. The resolution "requests" that official offices, businesses and industry turn their clocks back one - hour on Sept. 29. Move Up Schedule But it asks all of Fort Wayne to set their schedules one hour earlier. A businessman who normally opens at 9 a.m. CDT would open shop at 8:00 a.m. CST. This plan would give Fort Wayne the same number of daylight hours. Fort Wayne's Mayor Robert Meyers said earlier he didn’t “think the State Legislature can tell people how to set their watches.” This leaves the door open for “unofficial” clocks to stay on daylight time all year. Indiana’s Atty. Gen. Edwin Steers has been quoted as saying the Fort Wayne resolution is within the law and state funds could not be cut off. Other northeast Indiana towns are expected to follow Fort Wayne’s lead. Stay With Chicago Reports from the Calumet Region said the area would stay on “Chicago time.” The industrial cities will advance their clocks along with the rest of Indiana Sunday. But they will stay on "fast time” until the last Sunday in October. Hammond's Mayor Edward Dowling said “life in the Calumet Region is closely tied with life in Chicago.” There is no guarantee the Hoosier capital will go along with the new time law. Indiana has been "officially” on Central Standard Time since 1949. But cities have evaded the law by setting “official” clocks on “slow” time and watches on "fast” time. Mayor Phillip Bayt of Indianapolis said some time ago, “We’ll think long and hard what to do Sept. 29.” Plans Expansion Os Plant At Logansport LOGANSPORT (UP) — General Tire & Rubber Co. announced today it has bought an additional building and tract of land here, will spend a million dollars for equipment to manufacture air springs, and will double its present employe force of 350 persons.
