Stevens Point (Wis.) Daily Journal Saturday, July 8, 1972 Page 2 Eclipse Program Planned Monday's solar eclipse will be the last of its kind seen in Wisconsin for the next 45 years. For that reason, Professor Allen F. Blocher, who specializes in astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, is planning an event for the public, including informal instructional sessions on eclipses and actual viewing of the sun being obscured by the moon. The program will begin at 1 p.m. in the planetarium of the Science Hall.

A nominal fee will be charged. Persons who attend will be shown, among other things, how to properly view an eclipse without damaging their eyes. University telescopes will be put into use for members of the audience. For Wisconsin residents, the eclipse will mean between a 65 and 70 per cent covering of the sun from their vantage points around the state. There will be total darkness over Prince Edward Island, Northern Nova Scotia and part of the Atlantic Ocean.

This eclipse is not so exciting scientifically as many others have been in the past because it is to be rather short. In the blackout region, the darkness will remain only two minutes. In Wisconsin, Blocher expects nothing bordering on darkness but instead a noticeable hazy effect. The professor reports there will be an occasional eclipse which can be observed in the United States during the remainder of this century. However, none until 2017 will be as dramatic to observe because the percentage of solar blockage will be rather minimal in this country.

A total eclipse is recorded in particular areas only once every 360 years. Monday's eclipse will begin at 2: 15 p.m. and conclude at 4:34 p.m. with the period of greatest covering occurring at 3:28 p.m. Astronomers and others continue to warn that direct viewing of the eclipse can cause eye damage and even blindness.

For amateurs, the only safe method of viewing is indirectly. The recommended technique is to make a pencil hole in a piece of cardboard and let the light pass through it onto another piece of cardboard. The image of the sun will be projected onto the second piece. Chess Games Of Old Were Skull Splitting NEW YORK AP) The. insulted egos and white-knuckled tensions before the Fischer-Spassky chess match may seem to be a blazing battle, but pale beside the tales of bloodthirsty games in Medieval Iceland.

Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloodx mess. "Take that!" exclaimed the king. Rognvald rode off in a panic. But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open.

These stories are sagas from Willard Fiske's "Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature," published in 1905. It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his series beginning Tuesday in Reykjavik with Boris Spassky, the world champion. Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line, today's championship prize is chicken feed. Rognvald played King Louis for his head. A woman was the prize in one knightly saga.

A king put up his horse, falcon and sword for a maiden and engaged in a game, winner take all. The king lost. He left the game on foot, unarmed and unloved. "Little consolation do you derive from the game of chess for now I own your costly objects! said his competitor. i irr-f 1 err i Cars Run Into Tree, Obituary Mrs.

The British firm would be merged with the J. I. Case a wholly owned Tenneco subsidiary based in Racine, said a joint statement by Sir David Brown, chairman of the tractor firm's parent corporation, and N. W. Freeman, president of Tenneco.

Brown, making tractors of 46 to 72 horsepower, would complement Case, which builds machines over 80 horsepower. Tenneco will pay the David Brown Corp. about $26 million and in addition take over $14.6 million of its debts. The British tractor firm ended its financial year last Oct. 31 with a loss of $3.3 million.
