the

of

element
who,
In

Rupert
has

evenings,
feel,
that
they
need
more
playing

"It's
a
wonderful
Idea,"
he
declared.
"We
were
going
after
it
on
a
local
basis
anyway.
Last
summer
we
had
to
cut
our
ball
games
to
five
innings
because
of
darkness.
Now
we
will
get
an
hour
more
playing
time
in

Canadian

Divisional
Superintendent
C

Berner
said
that,
since
the
daylight
saving
arrangement
will
only
be
on
-a
province-wide
basis,
the
railway
"will
be
operating
an
hour

"It

bad
that

would
not
take

he
decl'ared.
"The

"It
