His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, 29# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. 30 31# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20): 32# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw 33# lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones 34# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer, 35# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the 36# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen 37# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders, 38# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it 39# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan 40# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for 41# railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all 42# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday 43# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon 44# twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing: 45# 46# I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four 47# minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval 48# Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes 49# of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was 50# abandoned, probably forever. 51# 52# Most of the US soon followed suit.

As an admirer 78# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to 79# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving 80# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager 81# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make 82# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. 83# 84# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 85# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday 86# 87# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see 88# Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint 89# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927). 90# https://web.archive.org/web/20160517155308/http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html 91# 92# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919. 93# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which 94# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently 95# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time". 96 97# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04): 98# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules. 99# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving 100# time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last 101# Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday. 102# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf 103# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday. 104# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf 105# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09. 106# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf 107# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30. 108# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf 109# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST, 110# from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967. 111# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf 112# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06. 113# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf 114# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to 115# February's last Sunday. 116# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf 117# * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first 118# Sunday. 119# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-100/pdf/STATUTE-100-Pg764.pdf 120# * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward 121# to March's second Sunday and the fall-back to November's first Sunday. 122# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-109publ58/pdf/PLAW-109publ58.pdf 123# All transitions are at 02:00 local time. 124 125# From Arthur David Olson: 126# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of 127# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. 128 129# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25): 130# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama. 131# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." 132# An AltaVista search turned up: 133# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html 134# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace 135# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'

(Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set 144# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people 145# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account, 146# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender, 147# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word 148# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in 149# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech. 150 151# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From 152# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: 153# 154# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. 155# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a 156# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. 157# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out 158# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental 159# importance." 160# 161# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open 162# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, 163# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. 164# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." 165# 166# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. 167 168# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): 169# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations 170# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of 171# U.S. government action.

Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted 1165# by city vote. 1166# 1167# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks. 1168# 1169# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): 1170# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks 1171# one hour in 1914." This change is not in Shanks. We have no more 1172# info, so omit this for now. 1173# 1174# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06): 1175# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did 1176# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did. 1177# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01. This was big news: 1178# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on 1179# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time" 1180# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's 1181# confirmation to the US Supreme Court. Although Shanks says Detroit 1182# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be 1183# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the 1184# same time as the rest of the US. Also, although Shanks reports no DST in 1185# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968 1186# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969. 1187# 1188# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975. 1189# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER 1190Rule Detroit 1948 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1191Rule Detroit 1948 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1192# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1193Zone America/Detroit -5:32:11 - LMT 1905 1194 -6:00 - CST 1915 May 15 2:00 1195 -5:00 - EST 1942 1196 -5:00 US E%sT 1946 1197 -5:00 Detroit E%sT 1967 Jun 14 0:01 1198 -5:00 US E%sT 1969 1199 -5:00 - EST 1973 1200 -5:00 US E%sT 1975 1201 -5:00 - EST 1975 Apr 27 2:00 1202 -5:00 US E%sT 1203# 1204# Dickinson, Gogebic, Iron, and Menominee Counties, Michigan, 1205# switched from EST to CST/CDT in 1973. 1206# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER 1207Rule Menominee 1946 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1208Rule Menominee 1946 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1209Rule Menominee 1966 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1210Rule Menominee 1966 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1211# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1212Zone America/Menominee -5:50:27 - LMT 1885 Sep 18 12:00 1213 -6:00 US C%sT 1946 1214 -6:00 Menominee C%sT 1969 Apr 27 2:00 1215 -5:00 - EST 1973 Apr 29 2:00 1216 -6:00 US C%sT 1217 1218# Navassa 1219# administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service 1220# claimed by US under the provisions of the 1856 Guano Islands Act 1221# also claimed by Haiti 1222# occupied 1857/1900 by the Navassa Phosphate Co 1223# US lighthouse 1917/1996-09 1224# currently uninhabited 1225# see Mark Fineman, "An Isle Rich in Guano and Discord", 1226# _Los Angeles Times_ (1998-11-10), A1, A10; it cites 1227# Jimmy Skaggs, _The Great Guano Rush_ (1994). 1228 1229################################################################################ 1230 1231 1232# From Paul Eggert (2017-02-10): 1233# 1234# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is: 1235# Thomas G.

T-14, Revised Statutes of 1946# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern 1947# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in 1948# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to 1949# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and 1950# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would 1951# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. 1952# 1953# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town 1954# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to 1955# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only 1956# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT 1957# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round 1958# since sometime in the 1960s. 1959 1960# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26): 1961# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages 1962# long and rather painful to read. 1963# http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/T14.pdf 1964 1965# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1966Rule Regina 1918 only - Apr 14 2:00 1:00 D 1967Rule Regina 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 1968Rule Regina 1930 1934 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D 1969Rule Regina 1930 1934 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1970Rule Regina 1937 1941 - Apr Sun>=8 0:00 1:00 D 1971Rule Regina 1937 only - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1972Rule Regina 1938 only - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1973Rule Regina 1939 1941 - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1974Rule Regina 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1975Rule Regina 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1976Rule Regina 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1977Rule Regina 1946 only - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1978Rule Regina 1946 only - Oct Sun>=8 2:00 0 S 1979Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1980Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1981Rule Regina 1959 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1982Rule Regina 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1983# 1984Rule Swift 1957 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1985Rule Swift 1957 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1986Rule Swift 1959 1961 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1987Rule Swift 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1988Rule Swift 1960 1961 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1989# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1990Zone America/Regina -6:58:36 - LMT 1905 Sep 1991 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1960 Apr lastSun 2:00 1992 -6:00 - CST 1993Zone America/Swift_Current -7:11:20 - LMT 1905 Sep 1994 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1946 Apr lastSun 2:00 1995 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1950 1996 -7:00 Swift M%sT 1972 Apr lastSun 2:00 1997 -6:00 - CST 1998 1999 2000# Alberta 2001 2002# From Alois Triendl (2019-07-19): 2003# There was no DST in Alberta in 1967...

Igloolik [was similar but then] 2314# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6. 2315 2316# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02): 2317# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories 2318# for these potential new Zones. 2319# 2320# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the 2321# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central 2322# zone] skip daylight savings. Baffin Island, which is crossed by the 2323# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time. 2324# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of 2325# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not 2326# required to use daylight savings. 2327 2328# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html> 2329# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10): 2330# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and 2331# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them 2332# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter. 2333# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against 2334# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with 2335# the rest of the territory for the winter. Cambridge Bay remained on 2336# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to 2337# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's 2338# unified time zone in 1999. 2339# 2340# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government: 2341# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000. 2342 2343# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04): 2344# Let's just keep track of the official times for now. 2345 2346# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07): 2347# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising 2348# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert 2349# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).

Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this. 2362# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it 2363# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years.... 2364# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used. 2365# 2366# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17): 2367# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed 2368# daylight saving only during wartime. Gwillim Law's email also 2369# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada; 2370# see above for an up-to-date link. 2371 2372# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01): 2373# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in 2374# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November. 2375# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of 2376# daylight saving.... 2377# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html 2378 2379# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21): 2380# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute 2381# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of 2382# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had 2383# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. 2384# 2385# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay 2386# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... 2387# 2388# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March 2389# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I 2390# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able 2391# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was 2392# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone 2393# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). 2394# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks 2395# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in 2396# so they could follow the correct TV schedule... 2397# 2398# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I 2399# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature 2400# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of 2401# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of 2402# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for 2403# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived 2404# and worked in Resolute Bay... 2405# 2406# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that 2407# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of 2408# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead 2409# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay 2410# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not 2411# tell me when the practice had stopped. 2412# 2413# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of 2414# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went 2415# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz 2416# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the 2417# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on 2418# Aziz: 2419# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493 2420# 2421# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using 2422# Eastern Standard Time. 2423# 2424# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the 2425# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way 2426# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in 2427# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs" 2428# 2429# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008. 2430# 2431# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz 2432# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You 2433# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a 2434# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site" 2435# 2436# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would 2437# never have contacted her.
