Some strong’ minded people argue against changing the- clocks, insisting that we are but deceiving our foolish seives into think- ing we are rising an hour earlier. Such people fail to recognize the fact.that the opening hours for banks, business. schools and churches ‘are very definit- ely, fixed in the minds of millions.
