At Last - For Six Months Anyway
It nlmdst serins to good to be true, bul it l'M>ks like Indiana will have anyth' i ox months of everyone bring on the same time. Coming on Sunday. April 28, the move to Central Daylight Savings Time or Eastern Standard Time, whicht ver you happen tn call it. will be the end of confusion for a while. It seems that maybe someone has read a few letters, answered a few phone calls or at least had enough sense to realize that butchering a state right through the middle with a zig Zag line and declaring this half on one time and the other half on another, really doesn't make too much sense. At any rate, the Department of Transporation has quited things down for a few months anyway at no threat of the "double fast" time n >w stands in the way from the last Sunday to the last Sunday in October.

However, the battle isn t. over. This se-ms tn be just a tnmporarv thing to take care of the problem that is immediately ahead. In all probability, the same old fuss will be made next October when once again many cities and towns on the Eastern half of the state will show their preference for fast time and not as many, but a good-percentage of the populated area on the western half of the state will decide to stay with Chicago once again in the muddled up time situation. Until some declaration of satisfaction on the time issue can be made and some teeth put into the law. Indiana probably will continue to be a time-rid-dled state. But right at the present, we are going to look forward to asking someone just simply, "What time is it?” not what time is it and then What time is that!
