Yes.  This is under Digital Clock Settings.

'UTC'.  That line's box isn't checked ; 'Toronto' below is checked.

They are all unchecked.

Well anyway, I unchecked "Toronto" & was warned that  >= 1  must be checked
& that it had automatically checked "Local : your system time zone",
after which the time showed was correct, ie now "5:26:38" (sb "05:26:38") ;
it doesn't say "EST" anymore, but that doesn't matter much.

The label 'UTC' under 'City' is very misleading.

Thanks for helping me solve a long-standing problem.
I'll add a note in my home-made help files.
