What Is Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time (“DST”) is the practice of moving the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months and changing them back again in the fall. The general idea is that this allows us all to use natural daylight better: moving the clocks forward one hour in the spring grants us more daylight during summer evenings, while moving clocks back one hour in the fall grants us

The Local Connector NW March 6, 2024

more daylight during winter mornings. However, DST has many detractors and rightfully so! (Read more about this below.)

Daylight Saving Time 2024: When Does the Time Change?

Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at 2:00 A.M. On Saturday night, clocks are set forward 1 hour (i.e., losing one hour) to “spring forward.”

Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on March 10, 2024, than the day before. There will be more light in the evening.

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2:00 A.M. On Saturday night, clocks are set back 1 hour (i.e., gaining one hour) to “fall back.” Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier on November 3, 2024, than the day before. There will be more light in the morning.

The History of Daylight Saving Time

Why Did Daylight Saving Time Start?

Should we blame Ben?

Benjamin Franklin’s “An Economical Project,” written in 1784, is the earliest known proposal to “save” daylight. It was whimsical in tone, advocating laws to compel citizens to rise at the crack of dawn to save the expense of candlelight:

Every morning, as soon as the Sun rises, let all the bells in every church be set ringing: and if that is not sufficient, let cannon be fired in every street to wake the sluggards effectually… . Oblige a man to rise at four in the morning, and it is probable that he will go willingly to bed at eight in the evening.”

ST’s True Founder?

The first true proponent of Daylight Saving Time was an Englishman named William Willet.ALondon builder, he conceived the idea while riding his horse early one morning in 1907. He noticed that the shutters of houses

were tightly closed even though the Sun had risen. In “The Waste of Daylight,” the manifesto of his personal light-saving campaign, Willet wrote, “Everyone appreciates the long, light evenings. Everyone laments their shrinkage as the days grow shorter, and nearly everyone has given utterance to a regret that the nearly clear, bright light of an early morning during Spring and Summer months is so seldom seen or used… . That so many as 210 hours of daylight are, to all intents and purposes, wasted every year is a defect in our civilization. Let England recognize and remedy it.”

Willet spent a small fortune lobbying businessmen, members of Parliament, and the U.S. Congress to put clocks ahead 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April and reverse the process on consecutive Sundays in September. But his proposal was met mostly with ridicule. One community opposed it on moral grounds, calling the practice the sin of “lying” about true time.

World War I Led to theAdoption of DST

Attitudes changed after World War I broke out. The government and citizenry recognized the need to conserve coal used for heating homes. The Germans were the first to officially adopt the lightextending system in 1915 as a fuel-saving measure during World War I. This led to the introduction in 1916 of British Summer Time: From May 21 to

The Local Connector NW March 6, 2024 7

October 1, clocks in Britain were put an hour ahead. The United States followed in 1918 when Congress passed the Standard TimeAct, establishing the time zones. However, this was amidst significant public opposition. A U.S. government Congressional Committee was formed to investigate the benefits of Daylight Saving Time. ManyAmericans viewed the practice as an absurd attempt to make late sleepers get up early. Others thought following “clock time” was unnatural instead of “Sun time.” Acolumnist in the Saturday Evening Post offered this alternative:

“Why not ‘save summer’by having June begin at the end of February?”

The matter took on new meaning inApril 1917, when President Woodrow Wilson declared war. Suddenly, energy conservation was paramount, and several efforts were launched to enlist public support for changing the clocks.

Agroup called the National Daylight Saving Convention distributed postcards showing Uncle Sam holding a garden hoe and rifle, turning back the hands of a giant pocket watch. Voters were asked to sign and mail to their congressman postcards that declared, “If I have more daylight, I can work longer for my country. We need every hour of light.” Manhattan’s borough president testified to Congress that the extra hour of light would be a boon to home gardening and therefore increase theAllies’food supply. Posters chided, “Uncle Sam, your enemies have been up and are at work in the extra hour of daylight when will YOU wake up?”

With public opinion in its favor, Congress officially declared that all clocks would be moved ahead one

2. In 2014, there was a Tinder match in Antarctica. Two research scientists matched on the global dating app in the most remote part of the world - a man working at the United States Antarctic McMurdo Station and a woman camping a 45-minute helicopter ride away. What are the chances?!

3. The Spanish national anthem has no words. The 'Marcha Real' is one of only four national anthems in the world (along with those of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and San Marino) to have no official lyrics.

4. The Japanese word 'Kuchi zamishi' is the act of eating when you're not hungry because your mouth is lonely. We do this all the time.

5. The probability of a blue lobster existing is widely touted as being one in two million. Bright blue lobsters are so-coloured because of a genetic abnormality that causes them to produce more of a certain protein than others.

6. There’s only one letter that doesn’t appear in any American state name. There's a Z in Arizona and an X in Texas, but no Q in any of them.

7. Louboutins' iconic red soles were inspired by Andy Warhol. The 60s pop artist's drawing Flowers caught the eye of the famous designer which gave him the idea to add the infamous sole to his designs.

8. A book called 'A la recherche du temps perdu' by Marcel Proust contains an estimated 9,609,000 characters, making it the longest book in the world. The title translates to "Remembrance of Things Past".

9. Google images was literally created after Jennifer Lopez wore that infamous dress at the 2000 Grammys. So many people were searching for her outfit, the search engine added an imagine function.

hour at 2:00 A.M. on March 31, 1918. (Canada adopted a similar policy later the same year.)Americans were encouraged to turn off their lights and go to bed earlier than they usually did at around 8:00 P.M.

Farmers Did NOT Favor DST

ManyAmericans wrongly point to farmers as the driving force behind Daylight Saving Time. In fact, farmers were its strongest opponents and, as a group, stubbornly resisted the change from the beginning.

When the war ended, the farmers and working-class people who had held their tongues began speaking out. They demanded an end to Daylight Saving Time, claiming it benefited only office workers and the leisure class. The controversy spotlighted the growing gap between rural and urban dwellers.As a writer for the Literary Digest put it, “The farmer objects to doing his early chores in the dark merely so that his city brother, who is sound asleep at the time, may enjoy a daylight motor ride at eight in the evening.”
