I was able to check the 1933 Session Laws of Hawaii today;
the revised "northamerica" changes below (against the current ftp version)
reflect what I found. Also, in the "tz-art.htm" file, the addition of
material on Ken Nordine (as well as the already circulated addition of
material on Conan O'Brien).
I still plan to update the ftp version on 2011-01-24.

# Hawaii
+
+ # From Arthur David Olson (2010-12-09):
+ # "Hawaiian Time" by Robert C. Schmitt and Doak C. Cox appears on pages 207-225
+ # of volume 26 of The Hawaian Journal of History (1992). As of 2010-12-09,
+ # the article is available at

+ # </a>
+ # and indicates that standard time was adopted effective noon, January
+ # 13, 1896 (page 218), that in "1933, the Legislature decreed daylight
+ # saving for the period between the last Sunday of each April and the
+ # last Sunday of each September, but less than a month later repealed the
+ # act," (page 220), that year-round daylight saving time was in effect
+ # from 1942-02-09 to 1945-09-30 (page 221, with no time of day given for
+ # when clocks changed) and that clocks were changed by 30 minutes
+ # effective the second Sunday of June, 1947 (page 219, with no time of
+ # day given for when clocks changed). A footnote for the 1933 changes
+ # cites Session Laws of Hawaii 1933, "Act. 90 (approved 26 Apr. 1933)
+ # and Act 163 (approved 21 May 1933)."
+
+ # From Arthur David Olson (2011-01-19):
+ # The following is from "Laws of the Territory of Hawaii Passed by the
+ # Seventeenth Legislature: Regular Session 1933," available (as of
+ # 2011-01-19) at American University's Pence Law Library. Page 85: "Act
+ # 90...At 2 o'clock ante meridian of the last Sunday in April of each
+ # year, the standard time of this Territory shall be advanced one
+ # hour...This Act shall take effect upon its approval. Approved this 26th
+ # day of April, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M JUDD, Governor of the Territory of
+ # Hawaii." Page 172: "Act 163...Act 90 of the Session Laws of 1933 is
+ # hereby repealed...This Act shall take effect upon its approval, upon
+ # which date the standard time of this Territory shall be restored to
+ # that existing immediately prior to the taking effect of said Act 90.
+ # Approved this 21st day of May, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M. JUDD, Governor
+ # of the Territory of Hawaii."
#
! # Note that 1933-05-21 was a Sunday.
! # We're left to guess the time of day when Act 163 was approved; guess noon.
