Spring forward - change the clocks to fast time Daylight Savings Time is here, the second Sunday in the month, March 13, 2022. We'll be here until reverses on the first Sunday in November when we "fall back". Ed Waggener wrote in 1978, "There's not enough fuss about the time..." We have become a mighty submissive people. There was a time when Adair Countians would line up as though civil war might break out whenever the red flag, "fast time," was mentioned. Tonight, at 12:00 p.m., we'll advance our clocks one hour. And there won't be a single protest. "How different from the 1950's, when local option set the time. In those days, the city slickers at Columbia would want fast time. And the City Council would put the town on daylight savings time. The Republican courthouse would curse the Roosevelts and vow to remain on slow, or God's time. There would generally be pandemonium until the matter was resolved. "There was a great jeweler here then, Casey Jones, who occupied the corner building where the David Wells Agency is today. He had a big clock in front of his store and when the time issue would erupt into internecine battle, Casey would hand a sign over the clock which read, "I'm hiding my face until I find out what time it is." "Today you can hardly get a small argument going over the matter." - EW 1978 This story was posted on 2022-03-12 21:11:50
