Fall Back This Fall
At 2 o’clock in the morning on Sun-
day, Oct. 27, most Americans will ob-
serve a ritual that began more than 200
years ago as a way to cut down on the
cost of candles. It was Benjamin
Franklin who, as minister to France,
suggested in 1784 that an extra hour
of daylight would save French shop- j
keepers 1 million francs per year.
It was not until 1918, however, that
daylight-saving time was first imple-
mented in the United States. Since
then, it has been adopted by certain lo-
cales and dropped by others, modified
during periods of war and hotly con-
tested by many. Proponents have cited
the need for increased daylight hours
to allow more time for recreation, re-
duce energy demand, decrease crime
and increase traffic safety. Opponents,
meanwhile, have consisted mainly of
farmers, whose hours are set by the
sun instead of the clock.
The concept of daylight-saving time
remains controversial. Even with the
passage of the Uniform Time Act of
1966, states were allowed to exempt
themselves from daylight-saving time.
Today, six states and American terri-
tories do not observe it: Arizona, Ha-
waii, the portion of Indiana in the East-
ern time zone, American Samoa,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
But the rest of us will have to re-
member to “fall back” one hour on the
last Sunday in October. M
