marriage to Miss Maren M. Petersen
Vesterager. Four children were born
to this union, all of whom, and Mrs
Henriksen survive. The children are;
Esther. II; Bernhard, Is; Richard
13; and Thyra, II.

Giving Us More
Daylight.

The earth's annual movement this
year takes us farthest away from the
sun at the hour of S:04 p. m. on Fri
day, Dec. 81. These figures are for
the central standard time belt. Those
countries in the Eastern hemisphere
will not have their shortest day until
the 22nd, owing to the difference in
figuring time, and their location on
the earth.
On Friday the sun will rise at 1850
a. m. and set at 4:22 p. m. giving us
only hours and 80 minutes of SUM-
shine. The shortest day of course
will be followed by the longest night
with Is hours and % minutes of dark
ness. Following short pause after
the 21st, the earth will so move as
to gradually give us more sunshine
and longer days until sometime in
June, approximately six months hence.
While the whirling of the earth on
it's axis, causes the day and night ses-
siOns, the fitting away motion while
ON it's way around the sun causes
spring, summer, fall and winter. 1t is
while leaning farthest away from the
sun, that its rays fall so slantingly
on the surface that the heat from
these rays are diminished, thereby
causing a colder atmosphere to exist
which is fall and winter. When the
position on the earth, where we are
located as in June becomes almost
directly opposite the sun, it is then
that the longest and warmest days
or summer exists.
After short breathing spell after
reaching it's extreme fitting position
the earth will again take up it's task
of returning us to the position where
