Three members of the city council favor change. Two are against it. The other four are H undecided. Some of the councilmen have said to The Star that they would like to hear from the people. ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, LET’S TELL THEM THE STAR BELIEVES THE PUBLIC REALIZES THE BENEFITS WHICH ALL WOULD DERIV} FROM HAVING AN EXTRA HOUR OF DAY- LIGHT IN THE EVENING—AN HOUR WHICH WE NOW ARE WASTING IN SLEEP. Some of the councilmen are afraid, they jj] that to set the clocks ahead would cause confusion ] outside of Seattle, in communities where the old i time would continue to be observed. ] thousand of us here in Seattle are going to gain another hour’s time for our’ gardening, for our evening’s pleasure, for our children to play in the parks? In the opinion of The Star, it is a big, worth- while project. If you agree with us, call up the councilmen who oppose it and tell them so. Here are the members of the council who are eithe against it, or undecided, and their home telephone numbers. Call them up tonight or Sunday. Tell them who you are, and that you want them to vote for the daylight saving ordinance: T.H. BOLTON, Queen Anne 2588 A. F. HAAS, Beacon 2295 R. B. HESKETH, North 2719 W. D. LANE, North 757 W. H.
