Thursday Is., March 28.
A SUGGESTION has been made that an electric time-signal be installed at the power house of the Electric Light Authority, worked in conjunction with the wireless station, so that at a stated time every day residents would be able to adjust their clocks.
Something of this kind is long over due. Formerly, we had a one o’clock gun, but for a long time the various clocks in the place have been making a handicap race of it, with some time pieces anything up to twenty minutes ahead, and all claiming to have “correct time.”
Fortunately, we have no trains to catch, but in making an appointment one has to enquire whether it will be by “post office, church bell, hospital, school, wireless, police station, or town council time,” and then work it out accordingly.
