Daylight Saving Time Begins
Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend—at 2:00 A.M. on Sunday,
March 8.
Before going to bed on Saturday, March 7, remember to “spring
forward” by setting your clocks 1 hour ahead. Not every place practices
Daylight Saving Time. See exceptions.
Credit for Daylight Saving Time goes to Benjamin Franklin, who
first
suggested the idea in 1784. The idea was revived in 1907, when William
Willett, an Englishman, proposed a similar system in the pamphlet The
Waste of Daylight.
The Germans were the first to officially adopt the light-extending
system
in 1915 as a fuel-saving measure during World War I. The British
switched 1 year later, and the United States followed in 1918, when
Congress passed the Standard Time Act, which established our time
zones.
This experiment lasted until 1920, when the law was repealed due
to
opposition from dairy farmers (cows don’t pay attention to clocks).
During World War II, Daylight Saving Time was imposed once again
(this time, year-round) to save fuel.
