Standard Time Sets United States and Canada on One Clock
Sunday noon marked the start of a nationwide standard time system. Across the U S and Canada from Eastport to near Cleve land and from Jacksonville to Winnipeg clocks now show the same hour and minute within defined meridians. The shift aims toward a universal time with four main zones and a fifth including New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, reducing previous local standards and easing railroad schedules.
