   Howdy! Roger,   
      
   In the 1950's someone promoted changing the Time Zone for Louisville,   
   Kentucky from Central Time to Eastern Time saying it would help the   
   business people who had to fly to the New York, New York area and come   
   back the same day.   
      
   I remember the Drive-In Movie Theaters making an announcement during   
   intermission time for everyone opposed to the change to come to the   
   Refreshment Counter and sign a petition against changing the Time Zone   
   because it would cause a one hour delay before they could show the   
   first movie of the night.   
      
   I was still a Teen and couldn't sign the petition but I saw it when I   
   went to buy some pop corn and soft drink and there were many names   
   on it already.   
      
   The Time Zone was changed to Eastern anyway, but at least they tried.
