His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, 51 # but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. 52 53 # From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20): 54 # Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw 55 # lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones 56 # work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer, 57 # managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the 58 # General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen 59 # spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders, 60 # developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it 61 # to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan 62 # meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for 63 # railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all 64 # railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday 65 # was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon 66 # twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing: 67 # 68 # I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four 69 # minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval 70 # Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes 71 # of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was 72 # abandoned, probably forever. 73 # 74 # Most of the US soon followed suit.

As an admirer 100 # of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to 101 # reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving 102 # scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager 103 # to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make 104 # them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. 105 # 106 # -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 107 # Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday 108 # 109 # For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see 110 # Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint 111 # (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927). 112 # http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html 113 # 114 # Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919. 115 # However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which 116 # was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently 117 # time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time". 118 119 # From Arthur David Olson: 120 # US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974. 121 # See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26 122 # and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post. 123 124 # From Arthur David Olson: 125 # Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of 126 # Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. 127 128 # From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25): 129 # Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama. 130 # In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." 131 # An AltaVista search turned up: 132 # https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html 133 # "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace 134 # Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'

From 151 # Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: 152 # 153 # ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. 154 # Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a 155 # wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. 156 # Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out 157 # typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental 158 # importance." 159 # 160 # On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open 161 # microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, 162 # before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. 163 # The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." 164 # 165 # He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. 166 167 # From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): 168 # Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations 169 # that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of 170 # U.S. government action.

T-14, Revised Statutes of 1850 # Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern 1851 # part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in 1852 # northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to 1853 # follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and 1854 # zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would 1855 # by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. 1856 # 1857 # It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town 1858 # on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to 1859 # serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only 1860 # a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT 1861 # rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round 1862 # since sometime in the 1960s. 1863 1864 # From Chris Walton (2006-06-26): 1865 # The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages 1866 # long and rather painful to read. 1867 # http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/T14.pdf 1868 1869 # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1870 Rule Regina 1918 only - Apr 14 2:00 1:00 D 1871 Rule Regina 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 1872 Rule Regina 1930 1934 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D 1873 Rule Regina 1930 1934 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1874 Rule Regina 1937 1941 - Apr Sun>=8 0:00 1:00 D 1875 Rule Regina 1937 only - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1876 Rule Regina 1938 only - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1877 Rule Regina 1939 1941 - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1878 Rule Regina 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1879 Rule Regina 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1880 Rule Regina 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1881 Rule Regina 1946 only - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1882 Rule Regina 1946 only - Oct Sun>=8 2:00 0 S 1883 Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1884 Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1885 Rule Regina 1959 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1886 Rule Regina 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1887 # 1888 Rule Swift 1957 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1889 Rule Swift 1957 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1890 Rule Swift 1959 1961 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1891 Rule Swift 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1892 Rule Swift 1960 1961 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1893 # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1894 Zone America/Regina -6:58:36 - LMT 1905 Sep 1895 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1960 Apr lastSun 2:00 1896 -6:00 - CST 1897 Zone America/Swift_Current -7:11:20 - LMT 1905 Sep 1898 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1946 Apr lastSun 2:00 1899 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1950 1900 -7:00 Swift M%sT 1972 Apr lastSun 2:00 1901 -6:00 - CST 1902 1903 1904 # Alberta 1905 1906 # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1907 Rule Edm 1918 1919 - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1908 Rule Edm 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 1909 Rule Edm 1919 only - May 27 2:00 0 S 1910 Rule Edm 1920 1923 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1911 Rule Edm 1920 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1912 Rule Edm 1921 1923 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1913 Rule Edm 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1914 Rule Edm 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1915 Rule Edm 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1916 Rule Edm 1947 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1917 Rule Edm 1947 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1918 Rule Edm 1967 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1919 Rule Edm 1967 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1920 Rule Edm 1969 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1921 Rule Edm 1969 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1922 Rule Edm 1972 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1923 Rule Edm 1972 2006 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1924 # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1925 Zone America/Edmonton -7:33:52 - LMT 1906 Sep 1926 -7:00 Edm M%sT 1987 1927 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1928 1929 1930 # British Columbia 1931 1932 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): 1933 # Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has 1934 # been like Vancouver. 1935 # Dawson Creek uses MST.

Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of 2265 # the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had 2266 # decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. 2267 # 2268 # According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay 2269 # went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... 2270 # 2271 # On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving.

I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of 2285 # Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for 2286 # Arctic Co-operatives."
