42 # From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31): |
|
43 # Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by |
|
44 # Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904), |
|
45 # Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY). |
|
46 # His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870) |
|
47 # was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines |
|
48 # in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, |
|
49 # but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. |
|
50 # His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00, |
|
51 # and the most of the country soon followed suit. |
|
52 |
|
53 # From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16): |
|
54 # That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time. |
|
55 # See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005). |
|
56 |
|
57 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): |
|
58 # A good source for time zone historical data in the US is |
|
59 # Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition), |
|
60 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). |
|
61 # Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it. |
|
62 # It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below. |
|
63 |
|
64 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): |
|
65 # Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin |
|
66 # in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost |
|
67 # of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26). |
|
68 # Not everyone is happy with the results: |
|
69 # |
|
70 # I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some |
|
71 # agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving |
|
72 # daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. |
|
73 # I even object to the implication that I am wasting something |
|
74 # valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer |
|
75 # of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to |
|
76 # reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving |
|
77 # scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager |
|
78 # to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make |
|
79 # them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. |

|
88 # |
|
89 # Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919. |
|
90 # However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which |
|
91 # was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently |
|
92 # time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time". |
|
93 |
|
94 # From Arthur David Olson: |
|
95 # US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974. |
|
96 # See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26 |
|
97 # and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post. |
|
98 |
|
99 # From Arthur David Olson: |
|
100 # Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of |
|
101 # Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. |
|

|
103 # From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25): |
|
104 # Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama. |
|
105 # In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." |
|
106 # An AltaVista search turned up |
|
107 # <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">: |
|
108 # "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace |
|
109 # Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful." |
|
110 # </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation. |
|
111 |
|
112 # From Joseph Gallant citing |
|
113 # George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987): |
|
114 # At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set |
|
115 # to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people |
|
116 # never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account, |
|
117 # CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender, |
|
118 # but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word |
|
119 # of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in |
|
120 # London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech. |
|
121 |
|
122 # From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From |
|
123 # Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: |
|
124 # |
|
125 # ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. |
|
126 # Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a |
|
127 # wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. |
|
128 # Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out |
|
129 # typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental |
|
130 # importance." |
|
131 # |
|
132 # On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open |
|
133 # microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, |
|
134 # before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. |
|
135 # The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." |
|
136 # |
|
137 # He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. |
|
138 |
|
139 # From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): |
|
140 # Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations |
|
141 # that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of |
|
142 # U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed |

461 # Here's database-relevant material from the 2001 "Alaska History" article: |
|
462 # |
|
463 # On September 20 [1979]...DOT...officials decreed that on April 27, |
|
464 # 1980, Juneau and other nearby communities would move to Yukon Time. |
|
465 # Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on |

466 # Pacific Time. |
|
467 # |
|
468 # ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the |
|
469 # Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in |
|
470 # northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26. |
|
471 # |
|
472 # On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted |
|
473 # unanimously to keep the reservation on Pacific Time. |
|
474 # |
|
475 # According to DOT official Joanne Petrie, Indian reservations are not |

687 # From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17): |
|
688 # Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis, |
|
689 # with the following exceptions: |
|
690 # |
|
691 # - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer, |
|
692 # Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago. |
|
693 # |
|
694 # - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York. |
|
695 # |
|
696 # - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like |
|
697 # America/Kentucky/Louisville. |
|
698 # |
|
699 # - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke, |
|
700 # and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below. |
|
701 # |
|
702 # Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history, |
|
703 # and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.'' |
|
704 # Those Hoosiers! Such a flighty and changeable people! |
|
705 # Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970. |
|
706 # |
|
707 # Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript |
|
708 # that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level. |
|
709 # So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'. |
|

718 # From Paul Eggert (2006-01-20): |

723 # changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time." |
|
724 # Strictly speaking, this means the affected counties will change their |

725 # clocks twice that night, but this obviously is in error. The intent |

726 # is that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT. |

1446 # |
|
1447 # Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21). |

|
1455 # Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9) |

1457 # says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT. |
|
1458 # Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report |

1459 # concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice. |

1468 # Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the |

|
1470 # |
|
1471 # The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round. |
|
1472 # This means they spend about half the time on central time and |
|
1473 # the other half on eastern time. |
|
1474 # |
|
1475 # For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said. |
|
1476 # |
|
1477 # "The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern |
|
1478 # Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he |
|
1479 # said. "I don't see any changes happening here." |

1480 # |

1485 # I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory |

1489 |

1490 # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17): |
|
1491 # Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River |
|
1492 # ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from |
|
1493 # McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan |
|
1494 # switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time |
|
1495 # ended. This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour |
|
1496 # entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move |

1714 # Saskatchewan |
|
1715 |
|
1716 # From Mark Brader (2003-07-26): |
|
1717 # The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal |
|
1718 # level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people |
|
1719 # elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight, |
|
1720 # the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook." |
|
1721 # DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned: |
|
1722 # presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of |
|
1723 # the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad |
|
1724 # time was noted. |
|
1725 |
|
1726 # From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27): |
|
1727 # Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the |
|
1728 # City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year." |
|
1729 |
|
1730 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): |
|
1731 # Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina. |
|
1732 # Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972. |
|
1733 # Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton. |
|
1734 # Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton |
|
1735 # are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law. |
|
1736 |
|
1737 # From W. Jones (1992-11-06): |
|
1738 # The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the |
|
1739 # provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department. |
|
1740 # A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and |
|
1741 # since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother. |
|
1742 # |
|
1743 # Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years |
|
1744 # the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated |
|
1745 # their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial |
|
1746 # referendum favoured legislating common time practices. |
|
1747 # |
|
1748 # On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of |
|
1749 # Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern |
|
1750 # part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in |
|
1751 # northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to |
|
1752 # follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and |
|
1753 # zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would |
|
1754 # by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. |
|
1755 # |
|
1756 # It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town |
|
1757 # on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to |
|
1758 # serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only |
|
1759 # a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT |
|
1760 # rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round |
|
1761 # since sometime in the 1960s. |
|
1762 |
|
1763 # From Chris Walton (2006-06-26): |
|
1764 # The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages |
|
1765 # long and rather painful to read. |

1846 # Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time |

1873 # note#1: |
|
1874 # On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada, |
|
1875 # Creston did not change its clocks. |
|
1876 # note#2: |
|
1877 # During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change, |
|
1878 # Creston did not oblige. |

1879 # note#3: |

1880 # There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time |

|
2052 # Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute |
|
2053 # Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of |
|
2054 # the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had |
|
2055 # decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. |
|
2056 # |
|
2057 # According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay |
|
2058 # went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... |
|
2059 # |
|
2060 # On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March |
|
2061 # 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I |
|
2062 # talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able |
|
2063 # to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was |
|
2064 # explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone |
|
2065 # (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). |
|
2066 # i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks |
|
2067 # had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in |
|
2068 # so they could follow the correct TV schedule... |
|
2069 # |
|
2070 # On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I |
|
2071 # phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature |
|
2072 # of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of |
|
2073 # information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of |
|
2074 # Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for |
|
2075 # Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived |
|
2076 # and worked in Resolute Bay... |
|
2077 # |
|
2078 # On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that |
|
2079 # Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of |
|
2080 # 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead |
|
2081 # on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay |
|
2082 # had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not |
|
2083 # tell me when the practice had stopped. |
|
2084 # |
|
2085 # On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of |
|
2086 # somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went |
|
2087 # off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz |
|
2088 # used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the |
|
2089 # businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on |

2095 # I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using |
|
2096 # Eastern Standard Time. |
|
2097 # |
|
2098 # Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the |

2099 # 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way |
|
2100 # of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in |

2102 # |

2103 # This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008. |

2105 # I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz |

2106 # responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You |

|
2212 # - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ) |

|
2214 # 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October |
|
2215 # at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows: |
|
2216 # BajaNorte: GMT+7 |
|
2217 # BajaSur: GMT+6 |
|
2218 # General: GMT+5 |

2550 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): |
|
2551 # Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from |
|
2552 # America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976 |
|
2553 # through 1995. This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say |
|
2554 # Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports |
|
2555 # that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and |
|
2556 # Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that |
|
2557 # DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then. This concerns |
|
2558 # data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone |
|
2559 # other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its |
|

|
2972 # on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31), |
|
2973 # </a>. Translated from French, it says: |
|
2974 # |
|
2975 # "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general |
|
2976 # and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior |
|
2977 # Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the |
|
2978 # provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next |
|
2979 # Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd. |
|
2980 # |
|
2981 # "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform |
|
2982 # the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour |
|
2983 # starting at midnight. This provision will hold until the last Saturday in |

2986 # "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005" |
|
2987 # |
|
2988 # From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04): |
|
2989 # I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like |
|
2990 # last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a |
|
2991 # "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST |
|
2992 # next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year). |
|
2993 # |

|
3000 # Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007. |
|
3001 |
|
3002 # From Steffen Thorsen (2012-03-11): |
|
3003 # According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year, |
|
3004 # apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada. |
|
3005 # So this means they have already changed their time. |

3119 # From Steffen Thorsen (2005-04-12): |
|
3120 # I've got reports from 8 different people that Nicaragua just started |
|
3121 # DST on Sunday 2005-04-10, in order to save energy because of |
|
3122 # expensive petroleum. The exact end date for DST is not yet |
|
3123 # announced, only "September" but some sites also say "mid-September". |
|
3124 # Some background information is available on the President's official site: |

3129 # From Paul Eggert (2005-05-01): |

3130 # The decree doesn't say anything about daylight saving, but for now let's |
|
3131 # assume that it is daylight saving.... |

|
3136 # and elsewhere, says (fifth paragraph, translated from Spanish): "The last |
|
3137 # time that a change of clocks was applied to save energy was in the year 2000 |
|
3138 # during the Arnoldo Aleman administration."... |
|
3139 # The northamerica file says that Nicaragua has been on UTC-6 continuously |
|
3140 # since December 1998. I wasn't able to find any details of Nicaraguan time |
|
3141 # changes in 2000. Perhaps a note could be added to the northamerica file, to |
|
3142 # the effect that we have indirect evidence that DST was observed in 2000. |
