Daylight Savings Time 2013 Begins

Details: Category: News; Published: 06 March 2013

clock_dst

Spring ahead, fall back. Daylight saving time begins Sunday, March 10, which means clocks are turned ahead one hour to gain an extra hour of daylight at the end of each day.

The new time begins officially at 2 a.m. on March 10, but most people turn their clocks ahead an hour when they go to bed the night before.

According to the U.S. Naval Observatory Astronomical Applications Department, DST came about in 1918, but was repealed in 1919 in favor of local rules on whether to observe the twice-annual time change. Daylight saving time was re-established and nationally observed at the start of World War II and remained in effect through September 1945.

The Uniformed Time Act of 1966 standardized the observation dates, providing an allowance for local exemptions.

During what the U.S. Naval Observatory called the "energy crisis years" in the 1970s, Congress enacted an early starting date, calling for daylight saving time to begin on Jan. 6 in 1974 and Feb. 23 in 1975. The following year, daylight saving time went back to a late-April start date. Beginning in 1986 and continuing through 2006, the start and end dates of daylight saving time remained consistent. Now those dates have changed, however, thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ - Students at Mother Teresa Regional School in Atlantic Highlands spent an hour today in Adoration of the Eucharist. Their prayers were offered for Pope Benedict XVI and the church at this historic time.

“Our lives as Catholics are centered around the Eucharist and today was a way for us to offer our prayers to God for the Pope and the church” noted principal Melissa Whelan Wisk. Students listened as Fr. William Dunlap explained the Benediction and offered prayers for the Pope who has resigned. “This is definitely a teachable moment” Mrs. Wisk went on to say, “Our students will remember this time. Our 8^th grade was in Kindergarten when Pope Benedict was elected, now they are graduating and we will have a new Pope.”
