Forest Park The new park of 185,000 acres in the Lake Sumner area will be a forest park, not a national park as suggested by the headline on the article announcing the new park, printed yesterday. Lake Sumner Forest Park will be controlled and administered by the New Zealand Forest Service. Moon Eclipse A penumbral eclipse of the moon will occur on August 27. The moon will enter the earth’s penumbra, the partly lighted shadow on the skirts of the earth’s total shadow, at 10.21 p.m. and will leave the penumbra at 11.47 p.m. Any darkening of the moon’s brightness, however, will be very hard to detect, even in the middle of the eclipse.
