132# From Paul Eggert (2003-09-27): |
133# Summer Time was first seriously proposed by William Willett (1857-1915), 134# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society 135# who circulated a pamphlet ``The Waste of Daylight'' (1907) 136# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April, 137# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September. 138# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times, 139# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests. 140# Later editions of the pamphlet proposed one-hour summer time, and 141# it was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916. 142# See: Summer Time Arrives Early, The Times (2000-05-18). 143# A monument to Willett was unveiled on 1927-05-21, in an open space in |

Miller, is the the William Willett Memorial Sundial, 147# which is permanently set to Summer Time. 148 149# From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28): 150# It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of 151# summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country 152# between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which --- 549 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 702 2:00 Bulg EE%sT 1982 Sep 26 2:00 703 2:00 C-Eur EE%sT 1991 704 2:00 E-Eur EE%sT 1997 705 2:00 EU EE%sT 706 707# Croatia 708# see Serbia and Montenegro 709 |
