Great catch; thanks. I've changed the rules as shown below.

Unless I'm misreading, those rules have permanent DST (but with the HST
abbreviation) in the 1933-1942 period, and no DST (but with the HDT
abbreviation) during WWII, which is reversed from the text. In other
words, the third and fourth offsets appear to be switched.
