# Ellsworth B. Buck

Ellsworth Brewer Buck (July 3, 1892 – August 14, 1970) was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from New York during the 1940s.

## Early years

Buck was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended Morgan Park Academy. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1914 and enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve in 1917. He became a meteorology instructor following his training at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He moved to Staten Island in 1919 where he served as chairman of the board of L.A. Dreyfus Co. (before that chewing gum company moved to Edison, New Jersey and was subsequently purchased by Wrigley) Buck served as chairman of the Chewing Gum Code Authority from 1934 to 1935 and became a member of the New York City Board of Education in 1935. He was vice president of the New York City Board of Education from 1938 until 1942, and president from 1942 until 1944.

## Political career

Buck was elected to Congress in 1944 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of James A. O'Leary. He served from June 6, 1944 until January 3, 1949, serving in the Seventy-eighth United States Congress, Seventy-ninth United States Congress and Eightieth United States Congress. While in Congress, Buck strongly backed the Taft-Hartley Act, opposed by organized labor; and voted in favor of a proposal to ban the poll tax, a device which kept southern blacks from voting. He did not run for reelection in 1948. Also, while representing Staten Island, he was an opponent of the establishment of the Fresh Kills Landfill.

## Retirement

On April 5, 1949, months following his retirement from Congress, Buck was shot and seriously wounded by a gunman while crossing the street on Stuyvesant Place outside Staten Island Borough Hall. The assailant, Charles Van Newkirk, was a dismissed Merchant Marine engineer who was disgruntled after Buck, as chairman of a House Education and Labor subcommittee, denied his appeal to regain his position.
Following his recovery, Buck served as a delegate to the 1952 Republican National Convention. He was director of the Office of Trade Investment and Monetary Affairs in 1954, and was public advisor of the United States delegation to the United Nations Economic and Social Council in Geneva, Switzerland in 1955.
Buck died at his home in Stephenson, Wisconsin in 1970 and was cremated. His ashes were placed in Thunder Mountain Ranch Cemetery.

# Buccinanops cochlidium

Buccinanops cochlidium, common name the gradated bullia, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Nassariidae, the Nassa mud snails or dog whelks.

## Description

The size of the shell varies between 30 mm and 112 mm.
The ovate-conical shell is elongated, smooth, and shining. It is of a reddish yellow color, scattered over with longitudinal flames of a brown red. A transverse band of the same color surrounds the base of the shell. The spire is elongated and composed of eight whorls slightly angular at their upper part, and very slightly convex. The first whorls are plaited longitudinally . The aperture is ovate, whitish, and strongly emarginated at its base. The outer lip is thin. The columella is smooth and yellowish.
This handsome species is particularly remarkable by the turreted whorls, and above all by an original deposit of whiter calcareous matter, which is seen at the upper part of the lower whorls of the shell.

## Distribution

This marine species occurs from Central Brazil to Argentina
# Lake Témiscouata

Lake Témiscouata (French pronunciation:) is a lake in the Témiscouata region of southeastern Quebec, Canada. It is 40 km long, with a total area of 66 km$^2$. The Madawaska River flows from this lake to the Saint John River.
The cities of Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, Dégelis and Saint-Juste-du-Lac are located on this lake. Forestry is a major industry in this area.
The Petit Témis Interprovincial Bicycle Path, runs from Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec to Edmundston, New Brunswick, following an abandoned railway line along the lake.
The lake is theorized to be the inspiration for the nearby parish of Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!. One explanation suggests the archaic French word haha, here meaning an unexpected obstacle or abruptly ending path, as the lake is an extremely long and particularly formidable obstacle to travel.
