127# Summer Time was first seriously proposed by William Willett (1857-1915),
128# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society
129# who circulated a pamphlet ``The Waste of Daylight'' (1907)
130# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April,
131# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September.
132# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times,
133# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests.
134# One-hour Summer Time was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916.
135
136# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
137# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said ``Daylight Saving''
138# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this
139# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the
140# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using ``Summer''.

1182# Lithuania has shifted back to the second time zone (GMT plus two hours)
1183# to be valid here starting from October 31,

1185# The Lithuanian government also announced plans to consider a
1186# motion to give up shifting to summer time in spring, as it was
1187# already done by Estonia.
