Day Light Saving Time
By Fred C. Klein
The expression goes: All good things must come to an end. But do they?
Honestly, who doesn’t like Day Light Saving Time (DST)?
Light at the end of the day just has to be a mood enhancer. Yet the dark, depressing time of the year will shroud us early Sunday morning.
We should have DST year round!
As far back as the 1700s, sagacious Ben Franklin proposed it to save candles and the energy saving logic applies to this day.
It was not until 1918 that DST was initiated as a wartime measure to add more day light to preserve energy.
Who could possibly want more light in the morning if you could trade it for sunlight on the way home from work? Farmers?
We need to start a movement!
