17# From Arthur David Olson:
18# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
19# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, October 26, 1974
20# and Sunday, October 27, 1974 editions of the Washington Post.
21
22# From seismo!munnari!kre:
23# I recall also being told by someone once that Canada didn't have
24# the DST variations in 74/75 that the US did, but I am not nearly
25# sure enough of this to add anything.
26
27# From Arthur David Olson:
28# The above has been confirmed by Bob Devine; we'll go with it here.
29
30# From Arthur David Olson:
31# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
32# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.

54# ...Alaska's timezone lines were redrawn in 1983 to give only 2 tz.
55#    The YST zone now covers nearly all of the state, AHST just part
56#    of the Aleutian islands.   No DST.

79
80# From Arthur David Olson (February 13, 1988):
81# Legal standard time zone names, from United States Code (1982 Edition and
82# Supplement III), Title 15, Chapter 6, Section 260 and forward.  First, names
83# up to April 1, 1967 (when most provisions of the Uniform Time Act of 1966
84# took effect), as explained in sections 263 and 261:
85#	(none)
86#	United States standard eastern time
87#	United States standard mountain time
88#	United States standard central time
89#	United States standard Pacific time
90#	(none)
91#	United States standard Alaska time
92#	(none)
93# Next, names from April 1, 1967 until November 30, 1983 (the date for
94# public law 98-181):
95#	Atlantic standard time
96#	eastern standard time
97#	central standard time
98#	mountain standard time
99#	Pacific standard time
100#	Yukon standard time
101#	Alaska-Hawaii standard time
102#	Bering standard time
103# And after November 30, 1983:
104#	Atlantic standard time
105#	eastern standard time
106#	central standard time
107#	mountain standard time
108#	Pacific standard time
109#	Alaska standard time
110#	Hawaii-Aleutian standard time
111#	Samoa standard time
112# The law doesn't give abbreviations.
113
114# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (August 16, 1994):
115# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
116# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, in 1867 when the US purchased it
117# from Russia.  We don't have this data pinned down yet, though.
118
119# Easy stuff first--including Alaska, where we ignore history (since we
120# can't tell if we should give Yukon time or Alaska-Hawaii time for "old"
121# times).

213# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
214# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
215# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
216# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
217# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
218#
219# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
220# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
221# I found in the UCLA library.
222#
223# I invented the abbreviation SPST for St Pierre Standard Time; SPDT likewise.

232# Canada is reportedly lots easier than the US--leastways since 1951.
233# I don't know what they did before then.
234# 4.3BSD claims that it's perfectly regular.
235# According to a posting in "comp.bugs.misc", "comp.unix.wizards", etc.
236# on February 8, 1987, by Dave Sherman of the Law Society of Upper Canada,
237# "...Canada (well, Ontario and at least some of the other provinces) are
238# adopting the new daylight savings time rules...".  We assume all of
239# Canada is doing so.
240
241# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
242# All of Canada did have DST from your first rule except Saskatchewan.
243# Which parts did not observe DST is hard to pinpoint but most of the
244# province follows the rules.
245# NOTE: those that didn't have DST for that rule, also
246# probably did not have it for several years previous.

263# From Arthur David Olson (January 21, 1989):
264# April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989.  Ahem.
265# Note claim that there's double DST in Newfoundland and that Yukon should
266# be same as Pacific.
267
268# From W. Jones (jones@skdad.usask.ca) (November 6, 1992):
269# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
270# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
271# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
272# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
273#
274# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
275# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
276# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
277# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
278#
279# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
280# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
281# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
282# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
283# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
284# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
285# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
286#
287# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
288# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
289# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
290# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
291# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
292# since sometime in the 1960s.
293#
294# Here's how I would summarize things.  Establish a "Saskatchewan" CST
295# time zone, and note that it officially exists as of 15 April 1966.  Any
296# current exceptions can put themselves in the "Mountain" zone, since
297# those are the rules they follow.  Any past exceptions can be forgotten,
298# since that's what those who live here have done.
299
300# From Arthur David Olson (November 21, 1992):
301# East-Saskatchewan kept to avoid problems for folks using that zone by name;
302# plain Saskatchewan added.

533# From Guy Harris:
534# Rules are from the Official Airline Guide, Worldwide Edition, for 1987.
535# Rules prior to 1987 are unknown.
536# The comments in the OAG say "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and Tijuana
537# observe DST."  This is presumably Baja California Norte, above 28th parallel,
538# as listed there; Mexico/BajaSur is for "Baja California Sur and N. Pacific
539# Coast (States of Sinaloa and Sonora)."
540
541# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
542# The Federal District (where Mexico City is) has observed [DST] several
543# times but not recently.
544#
545# I don't where to drawn the line in the North Baja area.  28th latitude
546# sounds good -- but it may be higher (how far [d]o radio stations from
547# San Diego affect culture?).
548#
549# The dates of DST probably go back to 1981.  The rules are the same as
550# US's.  This is going to be a headache for US presidential electi[o]n years!
551
552# From Arthur David Olson (February 13, 1988)
553# Since the 1981 starting date is only "probable," we'll keep the 1987
554# starting date below.
555
556# From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
557# MEXICO BAJA CAL N   7 H  BEHIND UTC    BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR AND
558# MEXICO BAJA CAL N                      N. PACIFIC COAST (STATES

573
574# From Arthur David Olson (January 21, 1989):
575# April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989.  Ahem.
576# USNO claims there should be four Mexican zones rather than three:
577# a zone that's GMT-8 with DST; a zone that's always GMT-7;
578# a zone that's GMT-6 with DST; and a zone that's always GMT-6.
579
580# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
581# Shanks also says there are four zones, but disagrees about the fourth.
582# Instead of GMT-6 with DST, he says there's GMT-8 without DST.
