Harry G. Emigh, Jr., September 10, 1923 to April 15, 2004

Harry G. Emigh, Jr., September 10, 1923 to April 15, 2004, was a longtime resident of Willis Street. 

He is pictured here by an unknown photographer in 1969 in the backyard of the family home on Willis Street with the then-Westminster High School in the background. A native of Carroll County, he was a member of the distinguished Mather family. 

He was a highly decorated veteran of World War II and the Korean War and for decades played a key role in Westminster’s highly touted Memorial Day parade and ceremonies. 

The photo is in the collection of Kevin E. Dayhoff and Caroline Babylon.

Seems due to Daylight Savings Time church services at Grace Lutheran are early

How much sleep have I lost worrying about daylight saving time? Eagle Archive by Kevin Dayhoff

How much sleep have I lost worrying about daylight saving time?

Eagle Archive

By Kevin E. Dayhoff November 10, 2012

A full week later, I'm still savoring the extra hour of sleep I got last Sunday morning at 2 a.m. when daylight saving time officially ended for 2012.

Of course, I lost that hour in the days since, lying awake thinking about the history of daylight savings time. The March 7, 1947, edition of a local Westminster paper carried an article which gives us some insight into almost a century of controversy over daylight saving time.

Ben Franklin is credited with advocating the value of "daylight saving," in 1784, in a satirical, anonymous letter to the editor of the Journal of Paris. In it, he proposed, among many humorous remedies to the overuse of candles, a tax on shutters, to be enforced by stepped-up police vigilance and the rationing of candles.

It was not until the Standard Time Act was enacted March 19, 1918, that daylight saving time was established in the United States. It was so controversial that it was promptly repealed in 1919.

According to the U.S. Naval Observatory, it was re-established nationally early in World War II, and was continuously observed from February 1942 to September 1945. After the war, its use was determined locally among states, counties and communities…

T.S. Eliot wrote in the poem, "The Waste Land," published in November of 1922, that "April is the cruelest month."

I could not disagree more.

The month of February is a horrible joke foisted upon us. This, in spite of the fact that Feb. 24, St. Matthias Day, is, by tradition, understood to be the luckiest day of the year.

According to research by the Historical Society of Carroll County, "The Jan. 27, 1922, issue of the Union Bridge Pilot newspaper mentioned St. Matthias Day, saying: 'Another bit of old weather lore comes February 24, St. Matthias day. According to the old saying: 'If he finds ice, he'll break it. If he finds none, he'll make it.'" …

Saint Matthias is a pretty mysterious character in the Bible. He is only mentioned twice — in Acts 1:21-22 and Acts 1: 26. In those passages, it is noted that following the Ascension of Christ, 120 disciples were assembled by Peter to choose a replacement for Judas. Two were nominated for consideration, Joseph Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias.

The choice between the two was determined by the luck of the draw. Acts 1: 26 says, "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias."

His name is never mentioned again in the New Testament, even though he was named the twelfth disciple.

Anyway, when it comes to weather in the month of February, we are not as lucky as Matthias… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0303-20130305,0,4412485.story
