Shanks, The International Atlas (5th edition), 12# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1999). --- 115 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 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. |

140 141# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03): 142# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said ``Daylight Saving'' 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''. 146 147# From Arthur David Olson (1989-01-19): --- 1038 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 1186# via Steffen Thorsen: 1187# Lithuania has shifted back to the second time zone (GMT plus two hours) 1188# to be valid here starting from October 31, 1189# as decided by the national government on Wednesday.... 1190# The Lithuanian government also announced plans to consider a 1191# motion to give up shifting to summer time in spring, as it was 1192# already done by Estonia. 1193 |
