Many people
attribute
the origin
of
April Fools'
Day
back to
the 1500's when
Pope Gregory
XIII
introduced
the new
Gregorian
Calendar
and
New
Year's Day
was moved
from April 1
to January
1. The
people who
had not
heard of the
change or
who refused
to believe
it were
subject to
ridicule,
and were
often sent
on "fools
errands" or
were made
the butt of
other
practical
jokes. |

Franklin
first
proposed the

Saving Time
