Spring Forward, Fall Back
By Jane Runyon |
|
1 Each April, people in many parts of the United States lose an hour of time. That is because they turn their clocks ahead one hour. They are on what is called Daylight Saving Time. What good does it do to turn the clocks forward? Are we really saving an hour of daylight? Who thought up that idea anyway? And do we ever turn the clocks back? The answers to these questions are really rather interesting.
