LOUIS & ANNETTE KAUFMAN
They Shatter An Age-Old Policy
by Verna Arvey

Los ANGELES - (CNS) -
For the first time in its history,
the Civic Music Association of
jefferson City, Mo-, has accept
cd coiored members. Heretofore,
this has not been done because
there are no reserved seats and
anyone can sit near anyone else.
The colored University nearly
(Lin'oln) has asked every year
for TIE past seven years to in
qGife whether it could buy mem
berships for its students, and ey-
eyy year the privilege has been
denied. However, this year the
Civic Music Association engaged
Louis Kaufman, brilliant Young
lin yiolinist and his wife, An
nette Kaufman, pianist, for a con-
cert and it was widely advertised
in the Negro newspapers that
Mr.. kaufman is an admirer and
performer of the music of VIII
Negro composer.
As result, the colored people
again inquired whether they could
buy memberships. This time, the
Clubs president, Mr.. Richard
Arens said We'll, they're going
to Heaven with us and there's no
reason why they can't hear music
with u.s.

Bluffton might easily be celebrat-
ing Independence Day other than on
July Fourth were it not for common
consent establishing this day instead
of the logic of historical facts.
History is replete with many diff
ferent "ifs" and our Independence
Day certainly might have been on
two other dates IF" it had not been
for certain developments.
July Fourth is considered the
greatest secular holiday in the Unit
ed States and its observance has the
statutory sanction of every state of
the Union.
Yet it is probably not generally
known that no less than three dates
might reasonably compete for desig-
nation as the natural day of Amer
ican independence and for the honors
of the anniversary of that event.
The resolution of independence was
adopted on July 2, 1776. 1t was this
day that Mr.. Adams designated as
the anniversary the oft-quoted letter
written on his desk at the time, pro-
phecying its future celebration by
bells, bonfres, noisy demonstrations,
etc.
On the 4th of July occurred the
Declaration of independence. On the
End of August following took place
the ceremony of signature which has
furnished to the popular imagination
the common pictorial and dramatic
conception of the event.
History reveals that the first reso-

PARTIAL ECLIPSE Ut sun VIII De
Seen In Bluffton Next Monday

Til chinks of fire seen through
moon valleys are called Bailey's
Beads. They sometimes resemble a
string of beads around the shadow.
The corona is light from calcium,
nickel, iron and the gas argon, and
possibly other unidentified chemical
elements. A heat of about one mil
lion degrees Fahrenheit would ac-
count for calcium and the other ele-
ments giving the pearly light. How
ever, it is known that no such tenn
perature exists in the corona, which
sometimes streams nearly one million
miles outward from the suns edge.
The electrical and magnetic condi-
tions which cause the corona light
ing effect are still pretty much mys-
terious.
A mystery that anyone may see is
bands of shadows, sometimes just
before and sometimes just after the
total eclipse. These shadows, usually
about an inch wide and a foot or
more apart, may move across the
earth at speeds up to 10 miles an
hour, but sometimes seem to stand
still. They are not always seen.
Their direction is away from the
nearest portion of the edge of the
moons shadow.
The cause of the shadows is not
certain. One theory is that ripples
of air cause them. Another that
bending of light rays around the
edge of the sun causes some rays to
cancel others, like waves, and leave
shadows where too much light is cam
celed.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1945-07-05

This years eclipse of the sun to
be visible in Bluffton and most Of
the United States next Monday is
one of series that started at the
North Pole in 1859.
The last eclipse in the series will
take place at the South Pole about
the beginning of the 28th century.
Meanwhile the series of eclipses
have crossed the earth many times,
18 years and a few days apart, al
ways moving farther southwark with
each event.
This years path of total eclipse
runs steeply northeast thru Mon
tana and up thru Canada, crossing
Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Russia
and Siberia. Width of the total
shadow will be about 25 miles.
However, the entire United States,
with the exception of lower Califor-
MIA, will see partial eclipse. 1t is
estimated that about 20 per cent of
the suns surface will be covered in
this area.
For the United States, the beauty
of a sunrise in eclipse is the un-
usual feature. Impressive sights to
watch for are the corona, a pearly-
white halo of light around the black
ened sun, the brilliant spots of light
where at the last moments before
and after totality, the edge of the
sun is shining through valleys miles
deep on the edge of the moon, and
the prominences, which are rosy-col-
ored fountains, of fire 10000 to 100,-
900 miles high. They often shoot out
visibly beyond the black edge

Old Fashioned Wide-Open Fourth
Now Remains Only AS Dim Memory

Old-fashioned, noisy celebrations
of the Fourth of July inaugurated
by cannon fire at daybreak and
marked by a steady staccato of fire
crackers remain only memory We'd
nesday as Blufftonc ontinued its pol
icy of prohibiting the sale and dis
charge of fireworks.
The celebration now is in direct
contrast to that our fathers knew
when the holiday was a paradise of
bedlam for the youngsters and day
of uproarious enjoyment for the
elders.
Cannon roared a salute at the
crack of dawn in those days, fire
crackers and small torpedo bombs
popped all day long, and in the
evening it was customary to have a
gigantic fireworks display.
Parades were synonymous with
Fourth of July celebrations in those
days, and the line of march would
wind tortuous path through packed
streets. In the professions were
gaily decorated pony carts, bands
and vari-colored costumes.
Pink lemonade stands banked the
streets, always surrounded by the
crowd. Spread eagle oratory was ex-
pected and always available, follow
ing which the big baseball game of
the season was played.
In those days there were no auto
mobiles, so everybody stayed home,
and since the celebration was one
worth going miles to see, everyone
in the surrounding area came to
Bluffton.
