Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition), 20# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc.

As an admirer 34# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to 35# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving 36# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager 37# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make 38# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. 39# 40# -- Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks (1947), XIX, Sunday 41 42# From Arthur David Olson: 43# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974. 44# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26 45# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post. 46 47# From Arthur David Olson: 48# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of 49# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. 50 51# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 52Rule US 1918 1919 - Mar lastSun 2:00 1:00 W # War 53Rule US 1918 1919 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 54Rule US 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 55Rule US 1945 only - Sep 30 2:00 0 S 56Rule US 1967 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 57Rule US 1967 1973 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 58Rule US 1974 only - Jan 6 2:00 1:00 D 59Rule US 1975 only - Feb 23 2:00 1:00 D 60Rule US 1976 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 61Rule US 1987 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D 62 63# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28): 64# ...Alaska (and Hawaii) had the timezone names changed in 1967. 65# old new 66# Pacific Standard Time(PST) -same- 67# Yukon Standard Time(YST) -same- 68# Central Alaska S.T.
