|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
|
|
|
+# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
|
|
|
+# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
|
|
|
+# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
|
|
|
+# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
|
|
|
+# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
|
|
|
+# in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
|
|
|
+# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
|
|
|
+# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
|
|
|
+# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
|
|
|
+# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
|
|
|
+# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
|
|
|
+# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
|
|
|
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
|
|
|
+# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
|
|
|
+# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
|
|
|
+# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
|
|
|
+# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
|
|
|
+# Not everyone is happy with the results:
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
|
|
|
+# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
|
|
|
+# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
|
|
|
+# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
|
|
|
+# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer
|
|
|
+# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
|
|
|
+# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving
|
|
|
+# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
|
|
|
+# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
|
|
|
+# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

|
|
|

|
|
|
+# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
|
|
|
+# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
|
|
|
+# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
|
|
|
+# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
+# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
|
|
|
+# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
|
|
|
+# An AltaVista search turned up

|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Joseph Gallant citing
|
|
|
+# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
|
|
|
+# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
|
|
|
+# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
|
|
|
+# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
|
|
|
+# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
|
|
|
+# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
|
|
|
+# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
|
|
|
+# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From
|
|
|
+# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
|
|
|
+# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
|
|
|
+# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
|
|
|
+# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
|
|
|
+# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
|
|
|
+# importance."
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
|
|
|
+# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
|
|
|
+# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
|
|
|
+# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
|
|
|
+# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
|
|
|
+# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
|
|
|
+# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed
|

|
|
|
+# Here's database-relevant material from the 2001 "Alaska History" article:
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# On September 20 [1979]...DOT...officials decreed that on April 27,
|
|
|
+# 1980, Juneau and other nearby communities would move to Yukon Time.
|
|
|
+# Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on
|
|
|
+# Pacific Time.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the
|
|
|
+# Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in
|
|
|
+# northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted
|
|
|
+# unanimously to keep the reservation on Pacific Time.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# According to DOT official Joanne Petrie, Indian reservations are not
|
|
|
+# bound to follow time zones imposed by neighboring jurisdictions.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# (The last is consistent with how the database now handles the Navajo
|
|
|
+# Nation.)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Arthur David Olson (2011-02-09):
|
|
|
+# I just spoke by phone with a staff member at the Metlakatla Indian
|
|
|
+# Community office (using contact information available at
|
|
|
+# <a href="http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/dca/commdb/CIS.cfm?Comm_Boro_name=Metlakatla">

+# </a>).
|
|
|
+# It's shortly after 1:00 here on the east coast of the United States;
|
|
|
+# the staffer said it was shortly after 10:00 there. When I asked whether
|
|
|
+# that meant they were on Pacific time, they said no--they were on their
|
|
|
+# own time. I asked about daylight saving; they said it wasn't used. I
|
|
|
+# did not inquire about practices in the past.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Arthur David Olson (2011-08-17):
|
|
|
+# For lack of better information, assume that Metlakatla's
|
|
|
+# abandonment of use of daylight saving resulted from the 1983 vote.

|
|
+# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard

|
|
|
+# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
|
|
|
+# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time. The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
|
|
|
+# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
|
|
|
+# the date the state's clocks would change. In 1945 the State of
|
|
|
+# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
|

|
+# mandated by federal law. Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona

|
|
|
+#
|
|
|

+# Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.

+#
|
|
|
+# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
|
|
|
+# America/Kentucky/Louisville.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
|
|
|
+# and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
|
|
|
+# and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
|
|
|
+# Those Hoosiers! Such a flighty and changeable people!
|
|
|
+# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
|
|
|
+# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.

|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.

+# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
|
|
|
+# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
|
|
|
+# McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan
|
|
|

|

|

|
|
|
+# In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom
|

|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
|
|
|

|
|
|

|

|

|
|
|
+# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
|
|
|
+# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
|
|
|
+# level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
|
|
|
+# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
|
|
|
+# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
|
|
|
+# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
|
|
|
+# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
|
|
|
+# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
|
|
|
+# time was noted.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
|
|
|
+# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
|
|
|
+# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
|
|
|
+# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
|
|
|
+# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
|
|
|
+# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
|
|
|
+# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
|
|
|
+# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
|
|
|
+# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
|
|
|
+# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
|
|
|
+# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
|
|
|
+# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
|
|
|
+# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
|
|
|
+# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
|
|
|
+# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
|
|
|
+# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
|
|
|
+# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
|
|
|
+# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
|
|
|
+# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
|
|
|
+# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
|
|
|
+# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
|
|
|
+# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
|
|
|
+# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
|
|
|
+# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
|
|
|
+# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
|
|
|
+# since sometime in the 1960s.

|
|
|
+# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
|
|
|
+# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
|
|
|
+# - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
|
|
|
+# - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
|
|
|
+# - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
|
|
|
+# at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
|
|
|
+# BajaNorte: GMT+7
|
|
|
+# BajaSur: GMT+6
|
|
|
+# General: GMT+5
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
|
|
|
+# BajaNorte: GMT+8
|
|
|
+# BajaSur: GMT+7
|
|
|
+# General: GMT+6
|
|
|

|
|
+# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
|
|
|
+# through 1995. This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say
|
|
|
+# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports

|
|
+# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
|
|
|
+# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
|
|
|
+# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then. This concerns
|
|
|
+# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
|

|
|
|
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
|
|
|
+# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
|
|
|
+# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
|
|
|
+# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
|
|
|
+# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# I have found this article about it (in French):
|
|
|
+# http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22):
|
|
|
+# Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-03-11):
|
|
|
+# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,
|
|
|
+# apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada.
|
|
|
+# So this means they have already changed their time.
