710- # It clearly confirms my earlier suggestion, that DST begins at 22:00
711- # on Easter Island.... But it also seems to be saying that the
712- # observance of DST in Chile began in 1966, rather than 1969 as

718- # Saturday, October 14 in continental Chile, insular Chile, and

720- # By the preceding, official time in continental Chile and Chilean
721- # Antarctic, and official time in Western Insular Chile, which applies
722- # to Easter Island and Sala y Gomez Island, will be set forward at
