Calendar for Texas, 1945 and 1946
Calendar data on this and following pages are
compiled from the American Ephemeris and Nau-
tical Almanac especially for the Texas Almanac
in order that time given for sunrise, sunset,
moonrise and moonset, and other occurrences may
be calculated with respect to Texas.
The time given for sunrise, sunset, moonrise
and moonset is.in Central War (Daylight Saving)
Time. To get Central Standard Time, subtract
one hour. All of Texas is in the Central Time
Belt except El Paso, which maintains Mountain
Time. To convert Central War Time on follow-
ing pages to Mountain War Time, subtract one
hour
In making these compilations, the intersection
of meridian 98 degrees west and parallel 32 de-
grees, 30 minutes north is chosen because of its
central location with respect to Texas and the
Gulf Southwest States. This point is about nine
miles NNW of Tolar, Hood County.
To get Central War Time of sunrise or
sunset, moonrise or moonset for any point in
Texas apply the following rules: Add to the
time given in this calendar four minutes for each
degree of longitude that any given place lies
west of the 98th meridian, and subtract four
minutes for each degree of longitude such place
lies east of the 98th meridian For example,
Merkel lies approximately on the 100th meridian,
hence eight minutes should be added to the time
given in the tables On the other hand, Wills
Point, lying approximately on the 96th meridian,
should calculate its sunrise and sunset and moon-
rise and moonset by subtracting eight minutes
from the time given in the tables.
There will also be some variation in time for
distances north and south of the line of latitude
32 degrees 30 minutes north, but the rule for
calculating them would be complicated. Proced-
ure given above will get sufficiently close results
for practical purposes.

PHENOMENA

ming pages are given the phenomena and planetary

appearing near each other.
