Now that we've changed our clocks to daylight or summer time, it may be well to go over the purpose of time zones, and how we fit into them here in Calgary.

One revolution af the earth equals a rotation of 360 degrees. It takes 24 hours or one day to make this rotation. If we divide the earth into 24 hourly intervals or standard time zones, each interval contains 15 degrees of longitude. In theory, this is true. But in Calgary this works out a little differently.

Using the standard time zones explained above, Calgary is seven hours behind Greenwich Mean Time, the arbitrary starting place or zero line of longitude from which we measure time all over the earth. (Greenwich, near London, is to our east. Time zones to our east are ahead while zones to our west are behind, as the earth rotates in a west to east direction.) Following this rule, our standard time-zone line should be 105 degrees west of Greenwich. If you look at a map, 105 degrees west falls on a line through central Saskatchewan (near Regina). Calgary lies about 114 degrees west, nine degrees further west than our time zone line.

What is the effect of being so far west in our time zone? At the 105-degree time zone line, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky exactly at noon. But due to Calgary's location nine degrees west of the 105-degree line, our solar noon (the time the sun is highest in the sky) is delayed. In fact, solar noon in Calgary occurs about 36 minutes after our clock shows standard time noon and is delayed a further hour when we switch to daylight time. That makes a one-hour, 36- minute delay in WEATHER STEPHEN ROTHFELS Calgary on daylight time. The effect is to delay dawn in Calgary by one hour and 36 minutes, relative to our time-zone line.

But it also sets later in the evening by an equal amount of time. So we don't lose anything. Golfers and evening picnickers can appreciate this and all of us save some electricity by not having to turn on our lights until later i in the evening. There are some, however, who disagree. Those people who must get up before 5 a.m.

might prefer daylight when going to work. Unfortunately, the day is only so long, and this is one of the sacrifices we must make in Calgary for being located so far west in our time zone, and switching to daylight time for the summer.

Low Prec. 4 CALGARY co April 1-30: 30- 23 year average 9 mean: 3.3 C. Nor3 mal amount of 4 sunshine for April: 196.3 hours. 7 People protest police cuts BOSTON (UPI) Hundreds of demonstrators blocked bridges and tunnels leading into this waterringed city for more than an hour today in angry protest to drastic police and fire service cutbacks prompted by a tax-cutting referendum. No injuries or arrests were reported.

Police did not attempt to remove the group, which mostly carried signs blasting Mayor Kevin H. White. But several drivers screamed obscenities and were warned by police not to attempt to break through the demonstrators. Demonstrators marched up Quincy's Neponset Circle entrance ramp onto the Southeast Expressway the major highway leading from the southern suburbs shortly after 7 a.m. blocking thousands of commuters.

Key routes Protesters in downtown Boston partially blocked the Mystic River Bridge and the Sumner and Callahan tunnels, key routes into the city from the north and east. The demonstrations began breaking up about 8:30 a.m., but the traffic tieups caused by their protest lasted long after the angry residents went home. "The Callahan Tunnel is blocked going out of the city and the Sumner Tunnel is blocked coming into the city, both on the East Boston side," said a police spokeswoman. "Traffic is just going to be a mess, but the crowds are under control." At several locations, police repeatedly moved the protesters some chanting "Stop traffic into Boston" off the roadway briefly opening single lanes of traffic. But no sooner had police moved the protesters off one section of roadway when other demonstrators moved back into the traffic.

At the Sumner Tunnel, protesters simply stood in front of cars at a toll plaza and refused to move. Traffic was backed up for 5 miles along the Expressway Spokesmen for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority said at least four of its bus routes had been virtually shut down for about an hour because of the traffic jams caused by the protests. About 30 protesters blocked traffic in Charlestown City Square for about 45 minutes, tying up the the only road directly leading from that section to the downtown section. Tory official draws ire of party for 'boat people' views OTTAWA (CP) Joe Clark led angry federal Progressive Conservatives as they rushed Tuesday to dissociate themselves from remarks made by a Toronto party official who called for tighter immigration policies and suggested that Vietnamese boat people should have been sent to desert islands. Clark, on vacation in the United States, relayed a message through his Ottawa office that the remarks by Paul Fromm represent neither Clark's personal views nor those of the Progressive Conservative party.

Clark said, "in the strongest possibble that Fromm was speaking only for himself. In Toronto, a New Democrat MPP branded Fromm a fascist and demanded that Premier William Davis ask Clark to make sure Fromm is removed from his job as treasurer of PC Metro, an umbrella group for the 31 federal ridings in the Toronto area. MP Chris Speyer, his party's immigration spokesman, said Fromm's remarks "are entirely his and certainly don't represent the views of the party or the caucus." Extremely unhappy Party president Peter Blaikie said he is "extremely unhappy" with Fromm's statements and plans to demand an explanation Connie Briant, past president of PC Metro who headed a committee which prepared a submission to a royal commission on immigration in the mid-1970s, said Fromm's views certainly aren't those of the organization. Fromm, a 32-year-old high school teacher in Mississauga, accused Prime Minister Trudeau of leading "Canada a long way down the road to socialism" and of bringing "us a racial problem" with a liberal immigration policy. He said in an interview he was "absolutely opposed" to Canada's admission of 60,000 boat people, a special program initiated by the former Clark government.

It would have been better to send them to desert islands and help them buid homes and cottage industries with international relief money, he added. Fromm helped organize the militantly right-wing, anti-Communist Edmund Burke Society in 1967. The group was renamed the Western Guard in 1972 and Fromm quit several months later, saying it had lost its quality of tolerance. He also said in the interview he thought the idea of breeding a supreme race for intelligence "is a good idea." A spokesman for Clark had said earlier Tuesday that Fromm's remarks had shown an "extreme myopia" and are being discussed within the party. Speyer pointed out in a telephone interview from Cambridge that the former Conservative government started the special sponsorship program that allowed more Vietnamese.

Kampuchean and Laotian refugees to come to Canada. Blaikie, speaking from Montreal, said he would have to look into the matter further before saying whether any action could or would be taken to censure or remove Fromm.
