Do you know about?

The first mention of ‘saving daylight’ came from Benjamin Franklin in 1784. However, the Germans made it a worldwide sensation in 1916 during WWI to save fuel for the war effort. Other countries temporarily followed suit, using ‘normal’ time after the war, then reverting to DST again during WWII. The United States continued the practice but, contrary to popular belief, farmers were the biggest detractors saying it created a bigger divide between rural and urban lifestyles. Some states went against the ‘rule’ and passed legislation banning it, which is why Hawaii, most of Arizona, and some counties in Indiana do not use it. DST starts the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.
