ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The October full moon, which
occurs on Friday, October 16, is
called the Hunter’s Mon. The time
of rising on the eastern horizon
is only 30 minutes later each
eveping, because of the small
angle it makes with the horizon.
This early sweep of the eastern
horizon is a favorable condition j
for all the hunters. During the
rest of the year the moon rises 50
minutes later each evening. A
month ago, this same phenomena
was called the Harvest Moon.
The moon was the subject of
the most ancient astronomical
observations. The study of her
motion was found both easy and
useful. The waxing. and waning
phases must have excited the
curiosity of early people.
To observe the moon’s motion ,
it is best to see its first appear
ance after the new moon is in the
southwest. In about five days it
will reach its farthest declination
south. After that for two weeks
it will be farther and farther
north each night and at the same
time moving eastward.
Rep. Rivers Visits j
Nome to Learn
Status of Problems
Alaska’s Representative to Con
gress, Ralph J. Rivers, who is
touring the state during the Con
gressional recess, was a midweek
visitor to Nome.
“My purpose,” Mr. Rivers
stated, “is to talk to the people j
of all the principal communities in J
Alaska and learn at first hand j
the current status of the many!
problems to be solved and how I i
can best help to solve them. I ■
have also been reporting on prog- <
ress made in Washington, D. C., j
during Alaska’s first year as a
sovereign state.”
During his two days in Nome,
the Congressman consulted with
Mayor Anderson and City Coun
cil members, attended a meeting
of the School Board with repre
sentatives of the Bureau of In
dian Affairs, and was guest speak
er at the Rotary Club luncheon.
He also looked over the school,
the hospital and the new Federal
Building; and the F.A.A. housing
project, besides visiting with his
many friends here.
In commenting on the newly
surfaced runways at the airport
and the street paving within the
city, Mr. Rivers voiced the ob
servation that every time he j
comes to Nome he finds some
new improvements and signs of |
progress.
