But While and Timmons said that, problem could be avoided by delay) ina the starling time for classes, especially from November through. February. "It wouldn't take any more water-to water the grass or the tomatoes, -j Timmons said.

Shop the Oazette Classified way. would introduce legislation to move the time line west from the Alabama-Georgia border to the 'Alabama-Mississippi border. Owners of outdoor theaters and restaurants and Alabama Farm Bureau Federation leaders had opposed the change more than a decade ago. So did many letter writers, one of whom already was upset about daylight-saving time.

"The extra hour of day that we now have is about to kill my tomato plants," one man wrote. know they can't stand another extra hour." A minister wrote that "he was going to pray for my sinfulness the next Sunday," Timmons said. "Time lines are not God's doing," said Timmons. "Why the churches care is beyond my comprehension." In fact, it was tire railroads that established the nation's four time zones in 1683, he says. They wanted to end timetable problems stemming from the confusing mix of times on which cities and states operated.

Milton Parsons, a lobbyisl for the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation, said that although his group traditionally opposes extending daylight time beyond the Memorial Day-Labor Day period, he saw no problems with Eastern time because farmers bama," Timmons said.

"It's a constant battle gelling in touch with the Eastern financial market and with our congressmen due to the different lunch hours and working times. "We think our progress would have been better if wc had been on Eastern time." A freshman state lawmaker, Lester White, has taken charge of the renewed campaign.

White said he crnfl Timmons has been accused of messing with ihe tomato crop and being in league wilh the devil, when all he really wants to do is move Alabama's clocks ahead one hour. Timmons, executive director of the Alabama Motorists Association, spearheaded an unsuccessful campaign In 1971 to gel the Legislature to adopt Eastern time in place of Central Time. Now he supports a second effort to make the switch being led by a state lawmaker.
