Daylight-Saving Time Is Back

WASHINGTON (AP) - Daylight-saving time has returned. For most Americans, that meant setting clocks one hour ahead Saturday night. The official change came at 2 a.m. local time.

Folks who forgot were an hour late Sunday for church, work or other events.

Daylight-saving time lasts until Oct. 31.

Safety officials suggest the annual ritual also is a good time to change batteries in smoke detectors to ensure they will work if needed.

Some parts of the country don't observe daylight-saving time: Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana in the Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the irgin Islands and American Samoa.
