[BC] DST

[Jerry Mathis]

Having lived in Indiana about a dozen years, DST was a hot topic. A lot of 
people felt that Indiana should be in the Central time zone, not the Eastern 
zone. I forget just how it came about, but Indiana was once in the Central 
Time Zone, then somehow got put in the Eastern zone, and when DST took 
effect, they were getting those 10PM sunsets. Upset a lot of people, 
especially the farmers. Drive-in theatre owners were largely responsible for 
getting Indiana to abandon DST, but that lobby is now gone. The farmers 
aren't though.
