Delightful Indian Summer Adds Zest to Daily Tasks; Origin of Name Uncertain Br J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer. General Extension, University of Oregon "There I lingered all October through In that sweet atmosphere of hazy blue." Indian summer in alt its un mistakable haziness and warmth and light has already this au tumn been scattering its benefi cence over many sections of our country and adding zest to the tasks which daily await us. To those whose cares are not too heavy, this delightful season can scarcely fail to inspire hope and add to the joys of living. Indian summer is a condition rather than a definite period of autumn. We usually think of this dreamy and exhilarating weath er as occurring in October, yet it is often clearly recognized in September or as late as Novem ber. Some years there are two or three definite spans of real Indian summer.1- Study of early weather rec ords indicates clearly that the name originated in America about the year 1800. The first reference to it appeared in Major Denny s journal in 1794 when he wrote, "Pleasant weather. In dian summer is here." STARTS SUNDAY ii :':::; mm-'. : ; After this, many references are found. One writer said of it, "The atmosphere has a haziness which makes distant objects ap pear indistinct At the same time a genial warmth prevails and there is seldom any wind. The Indian summer is so delightful that one would suppose the country had been transplanted to some celestial clime." Another said, "This singular occurrence seems to be to summer what the vivid recollection of past joys is to reality." In 1830 De Qulncy wrote, "In dian summer crept stealthily . . , a summer less gaudy than the mighty summer of the solstice, but sweet, golden, silent; happy though sad . . . sweet mimickry of summer, a spiritual on fairy echo of a mighty music that had departed." Many, are the attempts to ex plain the origint of the name,1n- dian summer. Some suggest that this was the fall hunting season of the Indians. The weather was fine and the game abundant. The haziness of the air favored a near approach to the game. Others say the term was simply a slight ly changed form for Indian har vest, since this spell of fine weather found the Indians busy - -" ' L-,i Peatma'..A ifre CtitteM.

Still others think the name originated from the customs of the Indians during this dry, warm period of the autumn to burn the grass from the open ranges intended for pasturo the following year, or to burn the underbrush to drive out the game. As a result -there was a great deal of smoklness in the still air. Some try to connect the sea son with the Indian legend of Shawondasse, ruler of the South Wind. When he sighed In the au tumn, balmy southern air was said to bring warmth and delight over the land thus bringing In dian summer. Whatever the origin of the name, Indian summer remains a delightful autumn season. HE'S MY PAL .
