Area job fair Thursday in Holly Springs

The annual Marshall-Benton Area Job Fair will be held from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Rust College McMillan Gymnasium on Thursday, March 8.

Job seekers are encouraged to attend the fair and visit with as many prospective employers as possible.

Dress is casual. Children should be left at home with a sitter.

Prospective hires are encouraged to bring a typed resume, but by no means is that a requirement. Employers will provide information on their businesses, job openings, job requirements and salaries.

On the day of the fair, prospective hires are encouraged to ask for help while looking at possible new job opportunities. Volunteers from the chambers of commerce, job fair committee, and Rust College will do everything possible to assist a job seeker and prospective employers to make it a successful and happy event for all.

The job fair is sponsored by the Governor’s Job Fair Network in Mississippi.

City school board reschedules meeting

The March meeting of the board of trustees of the Holly Springs School District has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 30.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. and will be held in the Holly Springs High School Library, 165 North Walthall Street.

Daylight Saving Time begins early Sunday

Most places in the United States will move their clocks one hour forward this weekend to begin Daylight Saving Time. Those who do not want to be late for church Sunday, March 11, should make the change Saturday night, March 10, before going to sleep.

In the United States, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March and reverts to Standard Time at 2 a.m. local time on the first Sunday in November.

Some areas that do not observe DST are Hawaii and Arizona, with the exception of the Navajo Nation which does observe DST, even in Arizona.

DST was thought to be a way of making better use of daylight hours during the summer months in certain latitudes. The length of day and night are about the same near the equator. The nearer the North or South Pole, the longer the period of light during the summer.
