WECOME TO THE SPRING EDITION OF COMPASS !
I hope that wherever you are, spring has sprung, and the winter
doldrums have passed. Most of us have also sprung forward an hour
(and lost an hour of very valuable sleep). This year's time
change made me wonder—why do we spring forward? I've
heard several different theories, but what's the real
reason?
According to the Farmer's Almanac, Daylight Saving Time
began in the United States in 1918 when Congress enacted the first
daylight saving law (which also established time zones). While the
idea had been conceived by others prior to 1918, the World War I
effort was the real impetus for the law in the United States. At
that time, coal was generally used to heat homes, and people were
able to both save energy and contribute longer hours to the war
effort by changing their clocks.
