  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday November 15. 1973 Page 11 Year-Round Daylight Savings Would Aid Fuel Crisis (CPS)—Bills were introduced in both the House and Senate last week to establish daylight savings time for twelve months of the year. The bills were introduced by The bills were introduced by Representative Robert P. Hanrahan (R-Ill.), and by Senator Adlai E, Stevenson HI (D- 1111.). Hanrahan's bill called for establishment of daylight savings time on a permanent basis, while Stevenson's bill asks for a one year probationary period, followed by an evaluation by the Department of Transportation. Hanrahan and Stevenson both said the most important effects of such legislation will be to ease American power consumption. According to a Rand Corporation study, under standard time in the winter, twilight begins about 4 pm, and at this time most lights in American homes and businesses are switched on. They remain on until 10 pm, on the average, a period of six hours. Under daylight savings time, twilight would not begin until 5 p.m. while the average time for switching lights off would remain at 10 pm. The savings from an hour when lights are not needed has been put at about 1 1/2 % by Rand. This trans- Combat Littering The next time you see someone throw litter from an automobile or other highway vehicle, note the time and place, a general description of what wws thrown from the offending vehicle (ie. paper bag, candy wrapper, empty cigarette pack etc.) and the vehicle's license plate number.

Another advocate, Senator Cl- aibourne Pell (D-R. I,) pointed out that while 11/2 % is a small percentage of the total US energy consumption, the use of electricity is expanding at the fastest rate of all energy forms and therefore electrical energy savings will also increase in percentage of total US power use over the years. Pell introduced an earlier Senate bill which, like Hanrahan's calls for the establishment of year- round daylight savings time without a trial period. Other advantages cited by Stevenson and Hanrahan were concerned with personal convenience and safety. Under daylight savings time in the winter, the extra hour of daylight will occur at a time when most workers are on the streets heading home. The National Safety Council has noted that the rate and severity of traffic accidents is greatest just after sundown. Under daylight savings, this peak accident period would be delayed until after much of the rush hour traffic has reached its destination. There would also be an ef fect on crime. According to Senator Pell, statistics indicate that robbery, mugging, and purse snatching are most frequent during the early evening. "With the extra hour of daylight savings time at a time when most of the work force is en route home, criminals would be less apt to threaten Music Prof Sings Tonight Dr. Temple Smith, assistant professor of music at WCU, will sing works by Purcell, Mozart, Wolf, and Verdi in Hoey Auditorium Thursday (Nov. 15) at 8:15 p.m. A frequent performer, Dr. Smith appeared in the WCU production and "Cosi Fan Tutte" last winter. Other recent performances include the role of the tenor soloist in the Mozart "Requiem" with the North Carolina Symphony and Handel's "Messiah" with the WCU University Choir and Orchestra. The performance is part of the Thursday Evening Music Series at WCU. There will be no admission charge. FLY WITH THE BOLD ONES NAVY PILOTS ARE A SPECIAL BREED OF MEN.

Rural children, said opponents, would be forced to wait by the roads in the dark for morning school buses. Farm animals might be disturbed when their physical schedules are different from the time schedules of their owners. Many farmers are becoming increasingly dependent on urban schedules because of off-the- farm meetings and activities which farmers must participate in. A final benefit cited by Stevenson is that, "year-round daylight savings time would go a long way toward restoring the public's confidence in the ability of the Federal Government to deal with our short run energy problems." No hearings have been set on Hanrahan's bill, but the Senate Commerce Committee will meet November 9 to discuss the Stevenson and Pell proposals.
