Daylight Savings Time History

Time History Seems absurd our nation is obsessed with the passage of time. Hours spreading rapidly in America in the early

    But all those hours like many Americans themselves: the people who gather their thoughts. There were hundreds of times local, each city located in the municipality where the court or in a game to him this afternoon. When she was 12 hours in Chicago, 11:50 in St. Louis and Detroit, at 12:18. But it was not a problem because the local time and was all about.

    That changed when the railway began to unite the country. Railways and their time, and the suffering of travelers to make contacts. Many of the stations and two hours, and railway for some time and local time.

    To eliminate confusion, and railways with them in 1883 to divide the country into four time zones, with the standard time in each region. You can afford the economic isolation does so on the afternoon of November 18, 1883, Chicago should move clocks back nine minutes and 32 seconds. It's like the sun rail is still exists, and the Chicago Tribune writes. Louis was founded, about 18 minutes, and the Louisville Courier-Journal, a change in a letter to the editor of "lie disappearance." He called one of the readers to know "if someone has the power and the right time to change the city without the consent of the people?" In a referendum in 1884, three-quarters of voters in Bangor, ME, opposed to change Philadelphia 25 minutes time. "

    A man finds himself with alarm "mandatory lie" of the summer. When discussed in 1916, and a literary magazine saw it as a trick on Saturday night and asked playfully post, "Why not save the summer," people used them to show that is later than it actually is. "?" During June, you can start fooled by late February, and a member of Congress and the state of Arkansas lampooned long reformers propose to change the balance of heat we have, to pass a zero to 13 degrees, and many people on the fire less fuel to heat homes for them.

    We accept the summer (during the First World War), and we reject it (the war), but again (during World War II), and then left to the States and Territories until 1966, when the conference is to determine the source of national concern. As much as we complain, and pointed out that it does not make anyone more productive or save any energy, it is still going on. Almost every state and eight months of each year and only four months from the level of so-called. As a result, today we have with the dawn, and next week will take breakfast in the dark.
