Howdy! Tom,

I can't remember if the Korean War was still going in the 1950's when
the Drive In Movie Theaters wanted people to sign a petition against
the change to CDT from the CST Zone, later the Time Line changed again
to place my area in the EST/EDT Zone supposely to allow businessmen who
Fly Roundtrip to cities that were in the Eastern Time Zone, time to get
back home while the Sun was still shining.

I think the Stores liked the Extra Hour of Sunlight to stay open an
extra hour for their customers to shop.
