Sunlight as a Disinfectant and Bactericidal Rays
Detroit Health Department reports that mid day sunlight kills Staphylococcus aureus in one hour and after passing through thin glass in about four hours. Iron arc light experiments show bactericidal effects between 2300 and 2850 Angstroms, with longer exposure affecting longer wavelengths. Sunlight’s power varies by season, and open spaces with direct sun can disinfect fabrics and books when exposed two to four hours. Buildings should be well lit to avoid smoke blocking solar rays that aid in reducing bacterial contamination.

Centenarian Melvina Willis Celebrates 108th Birthday
Mrs Melvina Willis marked her 108th birthday at Cottage Grove on Saturday July 20 in a large gathering of about 200 descendants.

Born in the era of John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln she recalls the long arc of progress and notes that women’s dress once drew heavier public scrutiny.
