His specific job is to report the high and low temperatures and the precipitation for the 24 hour period ending at 7:45 a.m.
His equipment includes a thermometer shelter, which houses two thermometers one to measure the high, the other the low temperature and a rain gauge that measures the precipitation. His weather station is in his back yard at his home at 217 Ridgeway Drive. RICHMOND, Jan, 27. An Eastern Kentucky State Collece chemistry professor is lik many other Kentuekians who are talking about the unpredictable weather the Bluegrass State has had in recent weeks. But when he peaks, others listen.
What he says is a fact, not just conversation. He is Dr. Thomas C. Horn-don, professor of chemistry, who has served at Eastern since 1930. He also is official observer for the U.
S. Weather Bureau. Dr. Herndon, has always had a close interest in the ing the city, claiming negligence in 'its failure to clean the snow and ice off the sidewalks. This person, whose name I won't mention, fell and was injured.

De Seelhorst of 5448 Brett Drive, Fort Knox, upon learning that she had won a set of the Britannica Great Books for a question submitted to Dr.
Mortimer J. Adler. Her question and Dr. Adler's answer appear in today's column on the book page. "I'm susceptible to contests," she exclaimed.
"I came acrass the column last July and thought, 'Oh, here's a good way to win some At the time I wrote my question about the new democracies, my husband and I were expecting to be sent overseas at any moment." The De Seelhorsts had about given tip hope of winning the icy conditions on that particular day," Herndon smiled. "In fact, the temperature was far above freezing."

It Ashland Policeman Cheers A Sick Lad A 17-YEAR OLD Springfield, Ohio, boy, in King's Daughters Hospital with virus pneumonia, received an unusual traffic citation early Friday morning. Bobby Joe Nelson said the ticket was timed 2:39 a.m.
The ticket cited reckless parking, not parallel to wall, parking prohibited, cut-out without muffler, blocking hallway and overtime bed parking. The citation was found hanging from a post of his four-poster hospital bed which was in the hall at the hospital. The nurse laughingly asked Nelson what he thought of the little memento left by a member of the Ashland Police Department. The youth replied that he thought the idea was cute. The nurse said that Patrolman Earl Borders was walking through the hallway, and saw the youth in the bed.
He thought the joke would help to cheer up the boy. Ashland Daily Independent. Life is pretty rough for the squirrels in Central Park and they could use a friend. Firemen at the nearby fire station look out for their little furry friends but their food supply is running low. If you have a supply of pecans or hickory nuts, the firemen would appreciate it if you would drop them by the uptown station at Center and Elm streets.

De Seelhorst was born Elizabeth Hackney in San Francisco. She moved with her family to Palo Alto at age 13 and attended grammar and high school there. He received a call from the owners of a pond in Richmond, the same pond in which two small children drowned this winter after falling through ice. The owners wanted to know if it would be feasible to drain the pond in order to prevent other accidents. Dr.
Herndon went to the record books and advised them that the average annual rainfall over the past 80 years has been 45 inches and the highest single rainfall was 7.12 inches, in August, 1959. The owners may find the information helpful in arriving at a decision. He recalls serving as a consultant to a committee several years ago to advise on the suitability of Madison County as a possible location of the Air Force Academy. A proposal was being studied to locate the Academy in the southeastern part of the county, between the Blue Crass Ordnance plant and Rockcastle County boundary. Madison was one of several counties being considered.
Dr. Herndon doesn't claim to hold any records for observing the weather. He quietly goes about his own business, lending a helping hand to those in need of help. "I have received both the 10-and 15 year awards from the Department of Commerce," he modestly admitted. novels or anvthing based on fact.
Lieutenant De Seelhorst is a supply officer with the 209th Ordnance Group. "All I do Is make daily reports to the local newspaper and radio station and the required weekly report to the V. S. Weather Bureau In Louisville, and monthly reports to the Weather Data Processing Center in Chattanooga, Tenn." he explains. How did he get the job? "I always have studied the weather.
It was sort of a hobby with me. One day, in 1946, some officials from the Weather Bureau came to the campus to find a replacement for my predecessor, a Mr. Crook, who had passed away, and I accepted. The oath I took is the same that is administered to Slate officials you know, 1 swore that I had not fought any duels," he grinned. Memarahle Experience' The temperatures and weather data have been recorded each day since Dr.
Herndon took over the job in May, 1946. When he is ill (he had pneumonia a few years ago and was in bed for several weeks), G. M. Brock, the college business agent, takes the readings for him. His position as the official where there was snow and I act like a lOyearold when I get out in it.

They were graduated from San Jose in 1960, she with a degree in education, he with a degree in industrial management.
