Billboards Say Lighting Cuts Won’t Hurt Local Ads
Outdoor Advertising Association of Connecticut reports voluntary nightly billboard lightoffs from 2:20 p m to save energy have not hurt signmakers' business. John F Murphy of Murphy’s ad firm says advertisers are cooperative and no downturn is seen. The move aims to cut electricity use about 25 percent annually, with potential impact from stricter federal lighting rules.

About 2.4 million citizens belong to sports clubs in East Germany. The East German Sports Federation says soccer and swimming are most popular, followed by track and field, volleyball, bowling, and others. Switching to Daylight Saving Time would cut billboard lighting hours, effectively turning off lights an hour earlier than the new 10:30 p.m. EST rule.

Leuba recounts Meskill fiscal record before Lions
Robert C. Leuba, former state official, spoke to Bridgeport Lions about balanced budgets under Governor Meskill. He cited surpluses of about 22 million and near 370 million, pointing to tax reforms, town reimbursements, and bonding for pollution control while noting growing spending on mental health and environmental programs. He warned fuel crises could dampen the economy but said surpluses would cushion impact. He also noted the Sherman Tree’s age as a 3,500 year old Sequoia in the National Forest.
