More daylight ?
No, think you. But if you ran ar
range to give us a little more dark
ness in the summer time we shnll be
a thousand times obliged.
Comes the foregoing from Juneau,
In reply to a request of the New York
daylight saving committee for co-oper
ation tn inaugurating a plan to set
the hands of the clock one hour ahead.
In order that the working men have
more daylight to themselves after
completing their dally tasks, says the
Seattle Daily Times.
"Posi-l-u-t-e 1-y nothing doing on the
more daylight proposition in Alaska
during the summer," writes the secre
tary of the Juneau Chamber of Com
merce to the Ootham committee.
“Our big problem is to exclude some
of the light we have.
Too Much Daylight.
“It is well known,” the letter goes
on to say, “that in the summer we
have daylight all night with a few
minutes at midnight that is called
dawn. Surely we cannot want for
more than this.
“In the upper Yukon regions resi
dents complain that they have to
blindfold their chickens to get them
to roost. If they do not, the hens
lose complete track of the hours and
lay twice a day.
“Also it is the complaint of the
residents that midnight baseball
games, lawn tennis and such sports
interrupt their dreams. Even when
the ball games are played in the day
time, extra innings may continue in
definitely before the “called on ac
count of darkness’ sign is hung up.
and friend wife uses up too much fuel
keeping supper warm all the time.
“Because they are deprived of their
midnight moonlight frolics, the cats
of the Arctic region are losing their
affection.
No Spooning Moon.
"And, of course, our young men and
women of marriageable age would be
especially grateful for a little dark
ness and a ‘spooning moon.' At least
this is desired once in a while during
the spring and summer, when it is
said ‘a young man's fancies lightly
turn to thoughts of love.’ Wooing un
der difficulties is one of the objec
tionable features of too much day
light
“Of course, we also have a period
of continuous darkness, too. But at
this stage, however, it is almost as
dark at midday us midnight, and one
hour one way or the other would make
no difference in conditions.
“So, wo are sorry, but your daylight
saving plan does not interest us. We
will be glad to receive you on the
other proposition of which we spoke,
however, whenever you have plans for
its proposal."
