WASHINGTON (AP) -
Did you forget’
For Sunday It's the annual
ritual of "spring forward"
for moot of the clocks of
America.
It's the start of daylight
saving time, when clocks
and watches get moved
ahead one hour. The magic
hour for the change was set
aa 2 a.m., local time.
Daylight saving time was
put into effect for the next six
months except in Arlzona,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, American
Samoa and that part of
Indiana which is in the
Eastern time sone. Those
areas don't observe it.
On Oct. 29, it will be “fall
back" time, when
timepieces are turned back
an hour to resume standard
time.
