Caucus Names School Board
Candidates for the Bluffton Board

district vote for school board nomin
ees, as well as residents of the
corporation.
Candidates for municipal offices
also had to file early this year, and
with no inter-party contests develop

Additional candidates may have
their names added to the town'ballot,

Reflecting Streets
Pavements that send back to the
driver more rays from the head
lights of an automobile promote
night driving safety, says Dr.
Eugene C. Bingham of Lafayette
college. Ordinary pavement ahead
of the driver is a poor reflector. Its
comparatively smooth surface re
flects the light onward to dazzle ap
proaching cars. Dr. Bingham pro
posed a surface made up of a se
ries of, bricks laid on a level, solid
foundation, each brick tilted up at
an angle of one-half a degree, with
the exposed edge bright in color,
hardened and enameled. The light
grazes the sloping surface and is re
flected back from the protruding
edges. Result: The driver sees a
large area of pavement.

Army to handle transport, engineer

of about 80 ski Instructors and
other alpine experts.
Headquarters were established
at Jasper Park Lodge (in pre-war
days a famous resort hotel of the
Canadian Rockies, but closed for
the duration) and outlying camps
were set up throughout the Atha
baska Valley, in the Tonquin, at
Maligne Lake and the Columbia
icefield. In their intensive trailing,
the Scouts gave secret equipment,
special clothing and rations a real
winter test, at high altitudes and
in temperatures as cold as 40 below.
An opponent long popular with
Bluffton softball fans will play here
this Friday night when Bradfield

The game is scheduled to start at

Triplett’s contest with the flashy
Bluffton skygazers were definitely
disappointed Monday morning when
they missed one of the biggest astro
nomical attractions of the year—an
eclipse of the sun.
The sky pageant given advance
billing as a top flight performance
was produced as scheduled, but a
heavy curtain of clouds obscured the
stage from where the Bluffton dele
gation sat—and as there were no
sound effects provided, the local audi
ence turned away empty-handed.
The eclipse was scheduled to start
here at approximately 7:05 a. m., at
taining a peak of 65 per cent of to
tality at 7:59 a. m. and disappear
about an hour later.
Heavy low hanging clouds, how

entire two-hour period permitted at
Bluffton's annual summer mosquito
control program has been started un
der the direction of Mayor W. A.
Howe, with creeks, catch basins and
other bodies of water within the town
limits being sprayed regularly to
prevent the breeding of mosquito
larvae.
Because of the unusually wet sum
mer, however, cooperation of local
residents also will be necessary if
the control program is to be a suc
cess here this season, Mayor Howe
said Tuesday.

best only a fleeting and unsatisfac
tory glimpse of the eclipse.
At the period of greatest eclipse
the already dull morning did seem a
bit darker. However, the change in
light caused by the partial shutting
off of the sun’s rays was not appre
ciable.
While there are two eclipses of the
sun every year, they are not observ
able in any one locality. The next
visible eclipse in this area, a partial
one on November 23, next year, will
not be comparable in extent to Mon
day’s event, astronomers say.
Bluffton which had an unusually
good view of a solar eclipse 13 years
ago must wait until 1970 to witness
the spectacle again. However, an
eclipse of the moon will be visible in
this area December 18, 1945.

out. Tin cans and eaves troughs
often have water in them which
should be emptied to prevent breed

If there are any pools which prop
erty owners cannot spray, they are
requested to notify the mayor, but if
they can handle control problems on
their own premises their cooperation
will be appreciated, for the mayor

Colombia was named for Colum

Land of El Dorado. This nation’s
real riches lie in hej coffee planta

nation in South America with a
coastline on both the Pacific and
Atlantic.
Good Riddance
The most effective means of rid
ding ships of rats has been to build
the ships in such a way that makes
it difficult for rats to live vnd breed
aboard them. The United States
public health service pioneered in
this field, and modern American
ships are practically free of the age
long problem of rats.
Racking up their fourt|i consecu
