   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.
