BASTROP (TEXAS) ADVERTISER, MAY 14. 195f>
Daylight Savings?-It's A Dilemma
Ben Front' r> is famous for his
inventive genius, one of his
least known ideas is Daylight
Savings. While Minister to
France, he suggested that shops
open and close an hour earlier
to sove lighting costs.
Both World Wars were respon-
sible for the resurgence of Day-
light Savings. President Wilson
signed the first plan into law in
1918. A year later if was
repeoled and shelved nationally
until World War II when
Frani.1 in Roosevelt restored it and
colled - "Wor Time."
Confusion and controversy
have always surrounded Day-
light Savings Re^etiber to set
your clock an hour ahead on
the last Sunday night in April.
Most city e'S welcome
the extra hour of recreational
daylight it a'lows. But it
means greater effort getting
milk to markr' for farmers.
One problem for
housewives —town or
country-has been
lighting during this
not-too bright, not-too-
dim part of the day. A
new light control,
called luxtrol, solves
the problem allows
for just the right
adjustment.

When organic matter in mixed
with the soil it rjuiekly decays and
creates pores or air spaces. The
pore spaces set off an almost
endless chain of beneficial re-
actions, thereby creating a favor-
