(Cana dian Press1 This is tho height of (he battledore and shuttle cock season for poor old day. light saving in Eastern Canada. Sporting organizations, mothers guilds, school boards and other Institutions are busy passing the question on to the city councils and city councils are knocking it back to the people at municipal elections. Perhaps the Canadian parlia ment will unexpectedly take a hand in the matter during the' coming session. It has been sug-i gesled that the Dominion govern-j mem may eiiiier present an Act making daylight saving general! throughout the Dominion or pro-J vide an amendment lo the crim.' inal code making it illegal forj municipalities, (industrial rim-j cerns or individuals lo noddle with standard time, Indications at present are that various cities in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces will have a repetition during the sum mer of 192 1. of the clock juggling, watch tinkering and general inconvenience caused in re cent years hy the variance of time in train, town, country and church. However, the people are gelling used lo it.

Opponents of Daylight having, among them Mayor .Martin, have taken the ground that while the system is popular with industrialists ft is distinctly bad for school children. The Mayor's idea is that Ihe mot tiers of these children ought lo have the opportunity to express their opinion in a referendum. Many Roman Catholic priests have also objected to the change because of the disorganization it brings with it in the schedule of New Y'ear's Day is that Ihe vigorous electioneering necessary lo victory upscl Ihe candidate's Christmas feslivities and spoils his New Year's dinner.
