Summer Officially Starts At 8:21 Friday Morning BY FAY BENTLEY "Earth arrives at heliocentric longitude 270 degrees on June 21 at 16:21 L'T," the astronomical observatories announce. In other wordi lummer will begin, of ficially at least, on June 21 at 8:21 a m. Pacific Standard time. At that hour the direct rays of the sun will be above the Tropic of Cancer, the most north ern point reached by the sun's straight beams. On this day the entire area within the Arctic Circle is experiencing daylight and the sun does not set any where within the Arctic Circle during thii 24-hour period. Also at this time the firstVlay of winter occurs in the southern half of the world. The Antarctic region is half way through its long siege of cold winte night and the Arctic region has ex perienced three months of con tinual daylight. In another three months conditions in the Arctic and Antarctic areas will be reversed. Ancient people n a m ed this day the summer solstice, a term which means "sun still," as they believed the earth paused brief ly before starting its Journey back towards the equator. Although we all know the earth is traveling around the sun, it appears to earth-dwellers that the sun is encircling the earth. Because our planet does not stand upright on its axis or axle (imaginary line from North Pole to South Pole through the earth) but is tilted or slanted at an angle of 23 ',i degrees from the perpendicular, the sun in its apparent yearly journey spends six months north of the equator and the same length of of time on the southern side of this imaginary line around the center of the earth. The 23'i degree inclination of the earth's axis causes the ver tical rays of the sun to reach the Tropic of Cancer which lies 23'. 2 degrees north of the equa tor, on or about June 21 each made a business and pleasure J trip to Brookings last week. !

Winter Solstice Six months later, on or about Dec. 21, the direct rays of the sun are over the Tropic of Cap ricorn, and the winter solstice or the first day of winter occurs in the northern hemisphere. Sea sons in the southern half of the world are exactly opposite from those north of the equator. The path which the sun seems to follow is called the ecliptic, and the two points where the ecliptic crosses the equator are the equinoxes which mark the beginning of spring and autumn. Spring begins when the sun crosses from the southern to the northern side of the equator and the first day of autumn occurs when the sun travels from north to south across this imaginary line. Two Conditions Our seasons are the direct re sult of two conditions; the tilt ing of the earth on its axis and the yearly journey Naround the sun. The slant of the earth's axis never changes and this causes the northern half of our globe to be inclined towards the sun for six months or while complet ing the first half of its orbital journey. During the next six months while the earth completes a solar revolution the sou them hemisphere is inclined towards l the sun. The south temperate zone will experience spring and summer and the Antarctic region will have six months of daylight. The north temperate zoe will have autumn and winter while the Arctic region will have six I months of darkness.
