' . - ;, GILMOUR WAS HALF AND HALF ' j IN "TIME MESS' I ' 0 JASONVILLE, Ind., Aug 12 Jasonvllle, like other communities in the state, gave up Daylight Saving Time and returned to Central Standard Time, effective at 12:01 this morning. The Jasonville City Council voted the return at a recent

r meeting after a petition bearing

the names of more than 700 persons from the community was presented. The petition stated that a considerable amount of confusion was caused by the fact that most communities in this region were running on the "slow" time. Linton, Lyons, Shoals and other communities in this section of the state, have abandoned the Daylight Saving Time. The Gilmour community was probably more confused about the time business than any other in this part of the state. Since the j Gilmour community is situated on the Greene-Sullivan county line and half of the community in each county, the Greene county "half" was . observing "fast" time and the Sullivan county "half" was following the "slow" time. RUSS ASK TURKS FOR REVISION OF MONTREAUX TREATY LONDON, Aug. 12 (UP) The British government announced tcday that Russia had asked Turkey for a revision of the Montreux Convention which now gives the Turks a large measure of control over the Dardanelles.

Yates made a pilgrimage to the fishing camps in the Merom Bluff area and leaving his car, with the motor running, along the shore, pursued his quest. However,- the car just( wouldn't stay put. The vibration of the idling motor caused the vehicle to move slowly toward the water until it rested itself in the gently moving current at the shallow edge. Willing hands aided in rescuing the motor craft and after a little work, Rev. Yates was on" his way. Mrs. M. H. K. Cobb Named Deputy County Recorder Mrs. Lorella E.

Saturday was opening day and hunters were to be found in abundance around 5 a. m. in all of the wooded sections (where hunting is allowed). Some of the hunters did very well, bringing down the limit of five allowed in one day, but as a rule the little furred ones did more than hold their own. As the season progresses, however, nimrods will more than likely make life a little more active for the bufhytailed exponents of nutbanking, and menus will be in for a welcome boost.
