Annie's Daylight Saving Time Page

"To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
to pluck up [that which is] planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a
time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time
to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away
stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and
a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a
time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time
to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."
~Ecclesiastes 3:1-8~

Daylight Saving Time (DST):
"The idea of setting clocks ahead to have more daytime during the waking hours
was first suggested in a whimsical essay by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. In 1907
in England William Willett campaigned for setting clocks ahead by 80 minutes in
four moves of 20 minutes each during the spring and summer. A less radical
suggestion, to advance clocks by an hour for spring and summer, was
rejected the next year.

Summer DST was first adopted during World War I in such countries as the
United States, Germany, and Great Britain. The same policy was followed
during World War II. A variation, "double summer time," was used in England,
with clocks advanced two hours in summer and one hour in winter.

The Uniform Time Act of 1966, which called for six months of DST, took effect
in most of the United States in 1967. Year-round DST was tried in 1973 but
quickly lost public support. In 1986 DST was set to begin on the first Sunday
in April and end on the last Sunday in October."
