Spring Due Here Tuesday Evening Spring will officially arrive in Bluffton next Tuesday evening, March 20, despite whatever weather may be served up to us by a var iable weatherman on that day. In its travel northward the sun on Tuesday will cross the equator at 6:30 p. m. Bluffton time and en ter the zodiacal sign of Aries. This is known astronomically as the vernal equinox and marks the official debut of spring for the northern hemisphere. With the sun directly over the equator on that day, the hours of daylight and darkness will be of equal length. In ancient times New Year’s Day generally fell on the first day of spring, a custom that was continued in England until the middle of the 18th Century. With people’s activi ties so largely agricultural in early days the winter was unproductive and it was quite natural that their year should begin with the revival of nature Prof. Berky To Talk On Birds At Pandora Prof. H.
