SKWARI), ALASKA. MONDAY. OCTOBER 2. 1916.
Although the city council refused to give its sanction
many of the business people of the city yesterday put their
clocks ahead to “gain an hour of davlight." This is made
possible by the action of the Kngineering C ommission and
others but the steamship companies and the cable service
times cannot be altered until the time is altered all the way
down the coast. The cables must depend on the \ aldez
office so the Gateway, for instance, will be one that will
have to maintain the same time. Messages do not arrive
here until about V a. m. from outside. The public schools
started at the earlier hour this morning but this would
mean that the children would have to go to school in
darkness in a week or two from now and would lose day
light. not gain it. The school children will not be made
to suffer this when the agitation dies down and the facts
are understood. The change of time would also mean in a
verv short time that we should ail have to steal darkness
from the night before. This is a free country and may all
new innovations prove right but in this case the alteration
of time is rather an absurdity as it could onh have an ef
fect for a few weeks at most. If you take eight hours’
work as the basis for a day here it would mean working
from eight o’clock a. m. oldtime to four p. m., or seven a.
m. to 3 p. m., or if time is allowed for a short lunch the
quitting time could be made a half hour earlier. In either
case if you put the clocks ahead and go to work an hour
earlier von are adding to the darkness id the day instead
of adding daylight. Besides we shall not have enough
daylight in a few weeks to do a full day's work so where
in the name of goodness does the advantage come? The
change was the result of careless people who smiled when
they signed it. To add to this some people allowed their
names to be used in connection with 4 he matter without
giving it thought and they can hardly be blamed for trying
to put it into effect, but it is really one of these little ab
surdities that too much “localism” makes possible. It is
one of these egregious bits of rot that made two com
mercial public bodies possible and a lot of other things,
amongst which was the placing of the postotfice in the
most remote position possible. Ketchikan is one town
which has just gone back to normal time after putting its
clocks ahead and it found very good reasons for doing so.
Kvon the cables show today that Berlin has gone back to
normal time* no doubt because the coming of winter there,
like here, makes putting the clock ahead useless. To make
the change here at this time of the year is positively ridi
culous and it is to be regretted that so many people
thoughtlessly fell for it even temporarily. But, hurrah
for something new, anyhow!
