from a distance of about $50
miles out.
The time of perpetual day
light lasted from approximately
the middle of May until the
middle Of August. We became so
accustomed to the light that
late In July il came to US with
something of a shock that the
time was drawing neaf when
We would have nightagain and
would have to cope with dark
ness. The only disadvantage
that we found in the time of
perpetual light was that we had
TO put up a dark curtain at our
bedroom window in order to be
able to sleep well at night
To-day the sun rose a little
before 10 o'clock and will set a
little after 8 this afternoon. In
about two weeks the sun will
disappear and not be seen again
for about two months. We are
: :alseady Il: beginning TO realize
some of the disadvantages of
the coming darkness. Since a
large part of our work is done
out-of-doors we shall have to
take along flashlights and Ian
terms to read our instruments,
and navigation over the snow
covered, featureless tundra will
be much more difficult after
dark, or by moonlight, than by
sunlight. But we shall have the
opportunity on clear nights to
see the aurora displays.
SO far we have heen very
lucky in having only two rather
minor accidents in our work and
travels. Last April we got an
ice auger frozen into the ice at
a depth of about six feet and
had TO chop the ice away to get
the auger out. Luckily we had
1 the help of one of the Eskimos
who work at the Laboratory,
land being an old hand at chop
ping ice, he knew the easiest
way 10 90 about releasing the
auger. He informed us that it
was impossible to drill a hole
through fresh-Water ice into the
unfrozen water below without
freezing the tool into the ice,
that the instant the metal came
in contact with the water it froze
in place. On the other hand it
is safe, he said, to drill through
saltwater ice into the unfrozen
salt water below, because there
is small margin of time before
the metal becomes frozen in.
] "Our other misfortune was in
breaking weasel track out on
the tundra about ten miles from
the Base. This will probably not
be the last time we break a
track, since their average dura-
4 tion is only a few Thousand
miles. Now, as a precaution,
whenever we go for trip Of
some distance we take along
sleeping bags and some emer-
Igency rations.
Macs work on permafrost
proceeds slowly, as does most
work in this region. His work
takes him away from Point Bar
row from time to time. He
usually travels by bush plane,
landing on the water of lakes
or lagoons, in season, or on skis
on the snow or ice when the
conditions are right. During the
six months we have been here
he has covered a large portion
Iof the Arctic slope in this
fashion.

The Winning and the Losing
OF Football Games

While the game Is on, the
loyal &lumnus grleves 70 see his
alma mater lose, but when the
excitement Of the conflict has
died away he may contemplate
the defeat VIII eqnanImIty
Sometimes, indeed, disappoint-
ment Is succeeded By 3 definite
feeling Of relief.

! find that the Carolina de-
feats have produced just about
this same reaction in several
persons Of my acquaintance, and
it leads me 10 wonder if maybe
there is q growing number Of
university and college alumni
who realize that football played
as 3 sport is . better institution
than football played for the
statistical record.
T ! VIC VIC sst s icles pertinent To this
subject were published last
week, one by Harry T. Paxton
in the Saturday Evening Post
about the effort TO build an
other winning football team at
the University Of Pittsburgh,
the other by Francis Wallace in
Golfers about the exacting
nature of the football coach's
job.
Tenn Hamilton, Navy football
star Of the 1905, who used TO
visit Chapel Hill when be was
directing the Navy pre-dight
training program and whose
brother was a member Of the
pre-fi9ht school faculty here,
has gone to Pittsburgh as direc~

or towards a de-emphasis which

ual loser.
Frank Carver, who has be-
come graduate manager Of ath-
letics under Hamilton, is quoted
by the Post as saying: My idea
Of a perfect situation would be
a record Of six games won and
three lost in a season. No more
of those nine-nothing seasons
for me- They bring you too
many headaches"
Dir. Caryer's words reflect
good sense and good spirit.
If athletic authorities, students,
and alumni throughout the
country had this attitude the
whole football atmosphere
would be vastly improved.
Tied up with the mania for
uninterrupted winning are the
excessive demands upon the
coach.
Even the most prosaic occu-
pations have normal strains
which become more burdensome
as the years pile up" writes Mr..
Wallace in Golfers, "but the
football coach, by the peculiar
nature Of his job, takes on over

best game of the evening Magnet
ic meets OStrander on its own
floor. Ostrander defeated the Re
sorters in a thriller the last time
they met and this game will
probably be a repeat perform
ance.

same fate as the rest of the coun-
ty teams that have met the
Tigers, sound beating.

Almost the entire population of
York Township turned out Fri
day evening for the dedication of
the new York High gymnasium.
According to estimates of the
cooks, more than 400 people were
served at the chicken dinner
which proceeded this dedication.
Since all of the food used was do
mated by the citizens of the COM
munity, sizeable profit was
realized.
The dedication program began
with basketball game between
the men present who weighed less
than 200 pounds and those who
topped the 200 mark with or
without someone else's foot on

within the block where a piece of
fire apparatus is being used, are

Fire Chief Henry Asman warned

Contending with curious motor

one of the fireman's biggest pro-

W. J. SCheiderer
Services Tuesday
Was Business, Church
Leader Here Many Years

Funeral services will be held
Tuesday afternoon for William j.
Scheiderer, one of MarySville's
business leaders for more than 80
years, who died in Ft. Myers, Fla,
Wednesday. He was rs years OF
age.
Mr.. Scheiderer was founder of
the Penn-Oil Co., one of the COM
munity's, oldest gasoline and oil
distributing firms. He was also
one of the organizers and charter
members of the First English
Lutheran Church.
He was born in Redwood on
Sept. 26, 1872, a. son of Martin
and Margaret (Daum) Scheiderer,
both deceased. He was married in
Redwood in 1893 to Ida Mary
Howser, who passed away in May
1916.
Came Here In 1901
In 1901, Mr.. Scheiderer moved
with his family to Marysville, and
for time worked by John Rausch
at the old Marysville Cabinet
Factory. In 1913, he started the
Penn-Oil Co. as d house-to-house
coal oil distributing business. His
only equipment was a horse
drawn tank wagon.
In those days there were few
automobiles and the sale of gaso-
line was unimportant. But nearly
home had coal oil stsvcs and
lamps, and Mr.. Scheiderer soon
developed a flourishing trade.
After a short time, he bought
the old Robinson-Curry building
which was located on Chestnut
st. at the Big Four Railroad,
where the Marysville Waste
Material Co. is now situated. Here
he erected the first automobile
service station in Marysville. Like
all such establishments of that
day, the motorist would back his
car inside the building, have the
tank filled by hand, then drive
out again.
Bought Building in 1920
Mr.. Scheiderer continued in
this location until about 1920,
