17# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
18# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
19# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
20# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
21# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
22# It is the source for the US and Puerto Rico entries below.
23
24# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
25# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
26# in his whimsical essay ``Turkey vs Eagle, McCauley is my Beagle'' (1784).
27# Not everyone is happy with the results:
28#
29#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
30#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
31#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
32#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
33#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  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

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, October 26, 1974
45# and Sunday, October 27, 1974 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.

63# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
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. (CAT)   Alaska-Hawaii St[an]dard Time (AHST)
69#    Nome Standard Time (NT)     Bering Standard Time (BST)
70#
71# ...Alaska's timezone lines were redrawn in 1983 to give only 2 tz.
72#    The YST zone now covers nearly all of the state, AHST just part
73#    of the Aleutian islands.   No DST.
74
75# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
76# The tables below use `NST', not `NT', for Nome Standard Time.
77# I invented `CAWT' for Central Alaska War Time.

114# Next, names from April 1, 1967 until November 30, 1983 (the date for
115# public law 98-181):
116#	Atlantic standard time
117#	eastern standard time

119#	mountain standard time
120#	Pacific standard time
121#	Yukon standard time

127#	central standard time
128#	mountain standard time
129#	Pacific standard time
130#	Alaska standard time
131#	Hawaii-Aleutian standard time
132#	Samoa standard time
133# The law doesn't give abbreviations.
134#
135# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):

316#
317# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
318# Indiana generally observes either EST all year, or CST/CDT,
319# but areas near Cincinnati and Louisville use those cities' timekeeping
320# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;
321# and there are other exceptions as noted below.
322# Shanks partitions Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
323# and writes ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
324# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
325#
326# Since 1970, EST-only Indiana has been like America/Indianapolis,
327# with exceptions noted below for Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties.
328# The parts of Indiana not listed below have been like America/Chicago,
329# America/Louisville, or America/New_York.
330#
331# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
332# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
333# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
334#

434# Michigan
435#
436# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
437# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
438#
439# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
440# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885 Sep 18,
441# but Howse (p 126) writes that Detroit kept
442#
443#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
444#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
445#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
446#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
447#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
448#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
449#	by city vote.
450#
451# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
452#
453# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

496# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
497# A good source for time zone historical data outside the US is
498# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
499# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
500# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.

502# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
503# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which

751# Saskatchewan
752
753# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
754# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Regina.
755# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
756# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
757
758# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (November 6, 1992):
759# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
760# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
761# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
762# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
763#
764# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
765# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
766# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
767# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
768#
769# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
770# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
771# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
772# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
773# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
774# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
775# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
776#
777# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
778# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
779# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
780# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
781# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
782# since sometime in the 1960s.

923# From Guy Harris:
924# Rules are from the Official Airline Guide, Worldwide Edition, for 1987.
925# Rules prior to 1987 are unknown.
926# The comments in the OAG say "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and Tijuana
927# observe DST."  This is presumably Baja California Norte, above 28th parallel,
928# as listed there; [there is also] "Baja California Sur and N. Pacific
929# Coast (States of Sinaloa and Sonora)."
930
931# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
932# The Federal District (where Mexico City is) has observed [DST] several
933# times but not recently.
934#
935# I don't where to drawn the line in the North Baja area.  28th latitude
936# sounds good -- but it may be higher (how far [d]o radio stations from
937# San Diego affect culture?).
938#
939# The dates of DST probably go back to 1981.  The rules are the same as
940# US's.  This is going to be a headache for US presidential electi[o]n years!
941
942# From Arthur David Olson (February 13, 1988)
943# Since the 1981 starting date is only "probable," we'll keep the 1987
944# starting date below.

979# 
980# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
981# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
982# 
983# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
984#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
985#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
986#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
987#    
988# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
989#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
990#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
991#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
992#    General:   GMT+5
993#    
994# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
995#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
996#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
997#    General:   GMT+6
998#    
999# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.
