HERE WE GO AGAIN! Iwo terms will become very important in our area again starting this Sunda\ October 24. I hex are Eastern Standard lime (E.S.T.) and C cntral Standard lime K s I I I his is ail happening because Sunday IS the day set aside for our neighbors to the west, the northwest corner of Indiana, as well as some southwestern counties, to move their chxks ba<k an hour to operate the six months of the winter season on “slow time", or Chicago time Meanwhile, we in St. Joseph and Marshall Counties and all counties east and basically south other than Starke, will remain on the same time, but will haxe the Eastern part of the nation moving their chx ks back to join us. Fime has always been a problem in this section of the nation. For soars there has been a split time zone in Indiana, sometimes it was “legal" and sometimes it wasn't. The present situation calls for Indiana, except for something like 14 counties in the extreme western corners, to be on Eastern Standard Time all year round. Meanwhile, most of the nation gix's six months on standard time and six months on daylight sax ings time. Bx this time it is certain that everyone is used to it even though it still proxides great inconveniences to those who are split between work, school, social and other obligations. It takes a few days to rearrange schedules, etc., but it will not be anything new for this area. It will remain this way .until the last Sunday in April, of 1979. when once again Indiana will be joined together again and the entire state will be with our neighbors to the west, Chicago, and Illinois, etc. But for now. our immediate area is on the same time as New York and our neighbors to the east. This also will put Michigan on the same time as Indiana for the six months as they will revert back from the daylight saxings time to standard again. If vou are one of the affected in any way. be sure to adjust your schedules starting Sundav morning. October 29. LET’S KEEP IT FUN! Halloween is Tuesday. October 31. Over the years this “holiday" has changed a lot. but still the day and night of masquerading and various types of fun and folly will remain the same. What we are hoping is that the day. and the days around the holiday, will remain just that, fun and folly. ’ Oser the years this particular designated holiday has been taken by some as a time to legally do damage, xandalism. or what ex er you want to call it. Too often the “tricks” of the time get too serious and it strays aw ax from the fun to the serious. Let's hope that this year all w ill remain on the light side. The damage usually done at this time is not the small ones who are enjoying the “trick or treat" phase, but the older ones who think they are enjoying the damaging phase. The responsibility of keeping this time of the year safe and sane rests a little with all of us. Not giving a chance for some acts of vandalism to get started is a help, but more important, if anything is being done and observed, it should be reported at once and hope that the proper authorities can control any situations that should arise.
