Saturdays Weather To Fix Rain Or
Shine For Forty Days, Says Tradition

With fields and gardens parched
with drought which is fast assuming
serious proportions, Bluffton people
will be more interested than usual in
st. Swithins day which occurs Sat
urday.
Tradition, more than one thousand
years old has it that the weather on
st. Swithin's day will determine the
weather for the next. forty days-if
it rains or shines on st. Swithin's
day the next forty days will be
either rainy or bright.
The belief has its foundation in
old English folklore centering around
st. Swithin bishop of Winchester,
England, who died on July 2, 862.
Before dying the humble-minded
saint, according to tradition, begged
to be buried in the open church.

church as was usual with bishops

new SCHOOL HEAD
WILL BEGIN DUTIES
FIRST OF AUGUST
Final Details of Contract Deter
mined In Meeting With
Board Monday
Teacher Will be
Hired for First Grade,
Board Decides

Ralph S. Danham, new superinten-
dent of the Bluffton public schools,
will take charge of schools here at
beginning of his term of contract on
August l, he told the Board of Edu-
cation at meeting with them Mon
day night.
Altho Supt. A. j. B. Longsdorf's
resignation will not become effective
until August 81, Lanham was asked to
start his term the first of the month
so that he may become familiar with
the local setup before the opening of
school in September.
The new Bluffton school head has
been working this summer as car
penter' at the Lima Tank Depot, but
he will quit that job on August ! to
devote full attention to the superin-
tendency.
Lanham is trying to find house
in Bluffton so he can move his family
a wife and two daughters, from Mt
Victory, where he resigned as super
intendent of the schools to accept the
position here. If he is unable to inn
mediately establish a residence he will
board here until he can find some
thing.
Contract Completed
In final negotiations the term of his
contract changed somewhat from pre-
liminary announcements. His three
year contract is on a basis of $2,70C
for the first year; $4,000 for the Sec
ond year, and $4,000 for the third
year. Supt. Longsdorf last year re-
ceived $4,000.
Lanham announced that he plans tC
teach one class in the seventh OF
eighth grade to become acquainted
with the pupils as they enter Junior
High school. This class probably will
be in arithmetic.
Because of the anticipated enroll
ment of So students in the first grade
the Board of Education plans to hire
an additional grade school teacher
soon. 1t was announced that those
interested in applying for the position
should file applications with Leland
Diller, clerk of the board.
Girls physical education next year
will be directed by Miss Theola
Steiner, grade school instructor. Nc
decision has been recahed yet relative
to boys physical education and ath.
letic coach.
