Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System) Another "dark day in America" ha been added to the lint nf 20 already on record since 1706. On Sunday, Sept. 24, 1950, the aiaies, me meteorologically iavoraDle location for such phenome na, was amiciea Dy a gloom so deep that automobile lights had to be turned on and afternoon baseball games required artific ial illumination. Dense smoke from Canadian forest fires caus ed the condition. Radio and newspaper reports stated that "the smoke brought the dark ness of night to many cities at midday." In recent times, New York city had a dark day fb. 23, 1923. In buildings, cabs and street cars, artificial illumina tion was a necessity. The air was very stagnant, and what little motiori it had was "in all direc tions of the compass." Western Washington had a "day of gloom" Sept. 12, 1902. Lurid skies, due to high smoke from extensive forest fires, greeted early risers. By noon, although there was little smoke under the clouds, It was "utter ly Impossible to read out of doors."

Tne smoke instead of dis persing had been rising and col lecting until the atmosphere was charged with an unusual quantity. The sun and moon had appeared red for several davs On May 19, the extraordinary darkness was first noted around 10 a.m. "We dined by candle light. Rainfall brought down black ashes of burned leaves. The clouds and smoke seemed to form several layers. Dr. Williams did not at all consider this a supernatural event, but a natural phenome non due to the combination of smoke and dense layers of cloud He discussed at length the re fractions and reflections which prevented sunlight from getting through to the earth. Dr. Sam uet Tenny has left us an ex planation quite similar to Dr. Williams'. The present writer sees no reason for considering this as case of the "sun's being turned to darkness." Had this been so the entire world Vould have been engulfed in night. Outside the localized "blackout", nor mal conditions existed over the earth.
