HUGH PRUETT (Astronomer, Kxtenilon Division Oregon Hither Education Syatem) The summer solstice, which marks the nominal beginning of summer, attracts little attention in our modern times. Our math ematical astronomers at government headquarters calculate for us to the exact minute the date of this occurrence. Without effort on our part we are satisfied to be told that in 1951 summer begins on June 21 at 11:25 p.m. CST, 10:25 p.m. MST, 9:25 p.m. PST. (Add one hour for DST.) But in early historical times when people had the leisure ac tually to observe the sun's movements in the sky, the sum mer solstice was the occasion for elaborate ceremonies. An ancient Egyptian temple was so arranged that on these longest days of the year the sun's rays at sunrise would light the en tire length of the long hallway.

We read of the astronomers of many nations carefully mea suring the shadow of a post in order to find on what day the sun was highest at noon and the shadow the shortest, thus determining the date of the sol stice. At Syene, Egypt, ver tical posts cast no noon shadows and open wells were lighted over the entire lower portions since the sun was directly overhead. The term solstice means "sun stands." If a rock is thrown upyards, it "stands" for an in stant at its highest point be fore it starts down. The sun apparently does the same thing at the summer solstice before it backtracks toward the south from its highest position. This seeming motion is brought about by the tilt of 23 'A degrees of the earth's axis to the plane of its orbit combined with its annual revolution around the sun. Suppose the part of the earth at which we are located kept constantly facing the sun for six months, thus giving us con tinuous noon. A little before Christmas the sun would ap pear very low aboye the south ern horizon. This lowest point wuld mark the winter solstice. Then it would move straight up ward in the sky until after six months it would be 47 degrees higher in the south, the sum mer solstice. With the earth's daily rota lion, matters are complicated a trifle. But it simply means that after December 22 the sun s ris ing and setting points, as well as its noon position, constantly move farther north day by day. At the summer solstice the sun is directly overhead at noon all along the tropic of Cancer, which is 23 'A degrees north of the equator, and constantly above the horizon for a full 24 hours everywhere within the arctic circle, which is 23 'A de grees from the north pole. The tropic of Cancer was so named about 2,000 years ago when the sun appeared among the stars of the constellation of Cancer, the Crab, at the sum mer solstice. Precession of the equinoxes has since placed the solstice in Gemini, but the an cient designation is retained. At the grange meeting Sat urday night, the legislative chairman explained the cuts being taken in building the new court house to keep within the budget since the increase in material and labor have caused insufficient funds.
