- New Time
We also have new time this week and a fellow
has to get up earlier to go to school, etc. I don't know what benefit it is to any one. I think
the only solution is the extraordinary number
of mental homes in this country. Wonder what our forefathers would say with their sundials etc. to see the sun at ten o'clock at night. Even in the church some have it and others don't. In our church when we had no bell (only 70 years ago) mass commenced with the arrival of the carriage containing the Oxford accent. We must always ape somebody, are we any better to-day'
