Don't Take Ny
Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY,
Casualty

Noun. A soldier killed, Wounded,
or captured.
Casualty is the surprise word of
the week. I do not recall ever having
heard the word pronounced cor
rectly by any commentator or news
analyst on the air.
The word is most frequently mis-
pronounced "KAZH- l-tee," though
the contortion "KAzH-you Ali
tee" is not uncommon.
AS any dictionary will affirm, this
is word of four syllables and each
should be distinctly voiced.
Correct pronunciation: 1st choice
KAZH- -you-ull-tee Second choice
KAzz-you-ull-tee.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented)
Question: What is the origin of
the word "jazz"?-G. L.
Answer: Authorities are uncer-
tain. The word probably is of Afri-
can origin. 1t is variously described
as "a Creole word meaning to speed
up; term of African origin long
used by Negroes of Southern United
States, especially those of New
Orleans; disreputable verb"

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Just when the Picts settled in
Scotland no one knows. Neither do
we know all the facts about their
race, though it seems likely they
were Celts, or at least partly Celtic
The early Picts decorated their
bodies with pictures or designs of
one kind or another. Their name
is believed to mean Painted Peo-
pie"
They were of warlike nature
Time and again they made raids
on the Romans, and sometimes they
forced their way across Hadrian's
Wall.
The Picts We're in Scotland be-
fore the Scots. The first clear
record of Scots getting to Scotland
gives the time as about the year
945. The Picts had been in Scotland
for hundreds of years before that.
An old record tells US that the
Plcts used "chariots" in battle. We
do not know what their chariots
were like, but they probably were
tWo-Wneeled carts of rather crude
type.
" The Scots came in from Ireland,
strange as it may seem. Certain

West led the ace of hearts and
continued with his low heart, hop
Ing to deprive dummy of vital ruffs.
South won the second round of
trumps and led the singleton dia-
ISnond. West put up the queen and
dummy won with the ace. A dia-
mond was returned, and South
noted the fall of East's ten as he
ruffed.
Now it was possible to make the
contract without trying for second
club trick. Declarer ruffed a spade
in the dummy and returned the
seven of diamonds. Instead of ruff
ing, however, South properly dis
carded a spade.
West won with the king of dia-
monds, but no defense could affect
the contract. The rest of dummy's
diamonds were good for all the dis
cards South needed.
Note, however, that South would
have been set if he had tried to ruff
out the diamonds. Conceding one
trick paid good dividends! Fur
thermore, if West had played low
on the first diamond trick, South
might have gone up with dummys
ace; and there would be no recovery
from that.

Eleven hundred years ago, a
Scottish King, Kenneth MacAlpin,
led an army against the Picts. The
Picts fell beneath this attack, and
in few years lheir lands were
placed in the Kingdom of Scotland,

That ended the warfare between
the Picts and the Scots. Scotland,
