    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.

    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.

    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".

    94 # From Arthur David Olson:
       
    95 # US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.

   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."

   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."

  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

  1475 #	For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.

  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):

  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
