Daylight saving time will end for the year at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 3, when we “fall back” and gain an extra hour of sleep. Next year, it will begin again on Sunday, March 9, 2025.Daylight Saving Time (DST) was first used in the United States during World War I to conserve fuel and power. The idea was that by shifting the clocks to make better use of daylight hours, there would be less need for artificial lighting. This practice was implemented in 1918 but was abolished after the war. However, some states continued to observe DST independently.The concept was reintroduced during World War II and again in the 1970s as a response to the energy crisis. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 established a more standardized approach to DST across the country, setting the start and end dates forSunday November 3Holiday Book Nook Sale December 12BTy Linda Quinterohe Book Nook, operated by the Friends of the Bulverde Area Rural Library District, will have its AnnualHoliday Book Sale on Thursday, December 12, 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, Mammen Family Public Library.

However, the U.S. House of Representatives did not pass the Act and President Joe Biden did not sign it. A 2023 version of the act also stalled in Congress.Not all states and U.S. territories participate in daylight saving time. Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time. Hawaii, because of its proximity to the equator, does not experience much daylight variance between hours during the year. Because of its desert climate, Arizona doesn’t follow daylight saving time (with the exception of the Navajo Nation).There are also five other U.S. territories that do not participate: American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.Cash or check only.
