 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, April 11, 2002 VOL. I Issue 4D ON THE ROAD AGAIN Because his teeth are wearing down,Harold has gone to the dentist to see what can be done.If only he would have drunk his milk when he was a kid.Kristi took Brit to the clinic in Highmore because of a tonsil infection.She was given instructions to say yes to drugs,in this case antibiotics,and sent home.It was mentioned that Darrel had this very trouble and it ended with the offending tonsils being removed. DOUG HINKLE TO FIREMAN'S CONVENTION Doug took a week off from work to go to a Fireman's convention,leaving Noel and Cade to fend for themselves.Kristi has invited them over for the weekend.When asked for details,all Doug would say about the event is that it was sort of like a Shriner's convention,which is all he was told. ABOLISH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME by Jerry Hinkle,Special to The Holabird Advocate We as human beings have come up with some pretty far out concepts.The Electoral College,bottled water,7 human years for 1 dog year,and T.V. sitcoms that are not in the least bit funny. However the most outlandish idea that was ever concieved was Daylight Savings Time.Every April we,like sheep,turn our clocks and watches forward one hour.Why do we do this?Because the government tells us to,I guess.Then in October,like clockwork(get it)we set them back to the original time that they were back in April.This practice is humorously refered to as Daylight Savings Time.Have you noticed we are not saving any daylight?In the time between April and October the days are longer becausethe Sun is up longer up until about June 22,when finally the days become shorter.In fact,in my younger days, there were times when I went to school before the Sun came up simply because the government had the clocks set at a certain time.If Anyone actually benefits from this madness,I have yet to meet them.That is why,when the time comes I refuse to participate in this exercise.I do not set clocks forward in April and do not set them back in October.It's my way of fighting the insanity and the monumental ignorance that the government foists upon us.However,if I ever have an ocasion where a real fine young lady want's to meet me at 8 o'clock for a $6 Burger at Hardee's,I just might change my tune and synchonize my watch to Daylight Savings Time.
