128# Summer Time was first seriously proposed by William Willett (1857-1915),
129# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society
130# who circulated a pamphlet ``The Waste of Daylight'' (1907)
131# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April,
132# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September.
133# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times,
134# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests.
135# One-hour Summer Time was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916.

143# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this
144# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the
145# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using ``Summer''.
