Long-Silent Lord Rises
In Parliament to Speak
On the Rabbit Problem
LONDON, —The Marquis of
Cholmondeley (pronounced Chum
ley) made his first speech in the
House of Lords last night after 32
years in the British Parliament’s
august upper house.
“At long last,” he told his fel
low peers, “I have been brought
to my feet by the wish to do some
thing about rabbits.”
Speaking with weighty empha
sis, the 72-year-old lord great
chamberlain, who is Queen Eliza
beth’s custodian of the houses of
Parliament and theatrical censor,
among other posts, said:
“I know a neighbor who will
not try to catch his rabbits and
the only way to deal with him is
by drastic legislation. I do not be
lieve that propaganda will do it.
“There should be healthy fines,
and rpaybe jail, and if some of
your lordships land in jail, it’s
your own fault.”
Rabbits do great damage to the
crops in Britain and the subject of
how to control them is debated
constantly in Parliament.
IONIA, Mich., Ub—The Ionia
County Park has lost its pet deer.
The 150-pound bottle-fed buck,
found three years ago, an orphan
lawn wandering with a herd of
cows, was shot by a hunter who
failed to notice it was in a pen.
The hunter, Robert Bisel of
Lansing, Mich., was ordered to
pay for a replacement.
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
There will be a partial eclipse
of the moon on Tuesday, Nov- 29
In earliest ages, every natural
event was a mystery. Fantastic
explanations were given for .the
simplest natural phenomena.
All dark celestial bodies cast
long, conical shadows in space, j
Any non-luminous body passing
into the shadow of another is
necessarily darkened or eclipsed
thereby. When the moon, is ex
actly opposite the sun, or nearly
so, it passes through our shadow.
There is not an eclipse of the
moon every month because the
moon is not in exact line with
the earth and the sun. Sometimes
the moon at full is above the exact
point called the node and at other
times it is below.
Eclipses at a given node occur
nearly three weeks earlier each
calendar year. This is due to the
westward movement of the nodes
which make a complete round in
18Vfc years.

Thar’s Gold in
Them Thar
Prospector Cakes
“Gold Is Where You Find It!”
While the Pioneer men are still
out each summer panning in the
creeks for gold, their womenfolk
have developed a far pleasanter
method of gold seeking.
Come to the annual Pioneer
Roof Garden, December 10, and
take a bite out of a delicious,
homemade Prospector’s Cake. If
you are lucky, you will find a
nugget.
With only two weeks remaining
before the 47th annual Roof Gar
den is staged in the high school
gymnasium, Auxiliary members
of Pioneer Igloo No. 1 already are
planning the cakes they will bake
to conceal the lucky nuggets.
Chairman of the Prospector’s
Cake Committee this year is Betty
Walsh.
Gold seeking in cakes is only
one feature of the gigantic fun
night staged each year by the Pio
neers. A variety show featuring
local talent will start the evening
and afterwards there will be
games, a fish pond for children,
refreshments, and the evening’s
climax will be the award of two
large nuggets. Frank Morris is
general chairman of the event this
year.
