 420 # lists the Determination of the Time Ordinance, 1919, No. 18,
 421 # "to advance the time observed locally by the space of twenty minutes
 422 # during the last four months of each year; the object in view being
 423 # to extend during those months the period of daylight-time available
 424 # for evening recreation after office hours."
 425 # Vanessa Ogle, The Global Transformation of Time, 1870-1950 (2015), p 33,
 426 # writes "In 1919, the Gold Coast (Ghana as of 1957) made Greenwich
 427 # time its legal time and simultaneously legalized a summer time of
 428 # UTC - 00:20 minutes from March to October."; a footnote lists
 429 # the ordinance as being dated 1919-11-24.
 430 # The Crown Colonist, Volume 12 (1942), p 176, says "the Government
 431 # intend advancing Gold Coast time half an hour ahead of G.M.T.
 432 # The actual date of the alteration has not yet been announced."
 433 # These sources are incomplete and contradictory.  Possibly what is
 434 # now Ghana observed different DST regimes in different years.  For
 435 # lack of better info, use Shanks except treat the minus sign as a
