More daylight hours receives mixed reactions

The plan to give the US four weeks of extra daylight-saving time from 2007 has met mixed reactions.

The energy law signed by President George W. Bush specifies daylight-saving time to begin three weeks earlier, on the second Sunday in March, and extended by a week to the first Sunday in November.

Many say the plan will save energy because people won't have to turn on their lights as early in the evening but some parents say it will make school time for children dangerous and farmers say the change will disrupt milking schedules.
