The belief that DST "works" has been around for a while.  I don't know
about Ben Franklin and the candles, but DST was put in place for WW1 to
"conserve energy", and I think there was double DST (time advanced 2 hours)
during WW2.  Farmers don't care for it (cows don't care for being milked
an hour later all of a sudden)

I know DST was changed very recently in the US (again to conserve energy).
The change last weekend was earlier than last year's change. I was 
wondering if our Canadian neighbors made the same changes to stay
in synch with the US or kept with the old date.
