It’s been nearly five decades since 27-year-old Catherine “Cathy” Millican was found murdered in New London—but investigators aren’t giving up.

Last week, New Hampshire State Police and the Attorney General’s Office announced a new search connected to the case. Millican was killed in 1978 while photographing birds in the Esther Currier Wildlife Management Area, and her murder has remained unsolved ever since. Read the full story by Sam Cohen.

Did you know daylight saving time was first widely proposed by George Vernon Hudson in 1895? The goal was to make better use of daylight during the summer months. It was first implemented in Germany and Austria in 1916 during World War I to conserve fuel. Later, other countries, including the US, soon followed. The practice has been adjusted over the years, like during World War II, when the US adopted DST to the extreme with “War Time.”

From 1942 to 1945, clocks stayed an hour ahead year-round to save fuel and boost productivity for the war effort. After the war, most places went back to the old system.

This week’s question is…

What’s the worst (or best) part of switching the clocks?

Here’s what you’re saying…

“It takes my body some time to adjust to the changes. My view is; ‘Pick one and stick with it!’ I personally would choose the original standard time and forget Daylight Saving altogether.” — JoAnn Carlson

“Adjusting to the hour change…year in and year out! ” — Norma Valley

“No issue for me, but I believe that more daylight hours in the mornings makes it just that much safer for kids who are riding buses.” — John Anew
