Take MyWord for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Picture, Feature,
Mature, Furniture

A radio announcer writes, I'm not
sure, from Webster's diacritical
marks, how the -ture of nature, fea-
ture, picture, ETC., should be pro-
nounced. Can you help me?"
From a casual reading of Web
ster's pronunciation of the word
nature. for example, one might as
sumo that "NAY-tyoor" is how the
word should be said. But we should
note that the number "249" follows
the pronunciation. This is to refer
us to paragraph 249, page lii, of the
pronunciation section, which tells
that -ture, as in nature, and -dure,
as in verdure, are sometimes pro-
nounced "tyoor" and "dyoor," but
that "cher" and "jer" are the natural
recommendations "in general use by
unaffected speakers in all the COM
mon words"
Thus we find that, in best usage,
such words as picture, feature, ma
ture, furniture, soldier, verdure, are
pronounced:
Plk-Cher
NAY-cher
FUR-ni-cher
SOLE-jer
VER-jer
Since Webster's implies that the
"tyoor" and "dyoor" pronunciations
are affectatious, I should strongly
advise against such usage on the
radio, for the trend in broadcasting
today. happily, is toward the ma
turalness and simplicity of standard
American speech, as opposed to the
"sWooning with culture" technique
that drives so many listeners to
frenzy. Yes, I do believe that radio
is showing signs of growing up.

/ West opened the jack of clubs,
dummy put up the queen, East Gov
cred with the king, and South won
with the ace. South then went into
a long huddle.
He could count on winning his
own five trumps, two clubs, dia-
mond and dummy's three top hearts.
That gave him a total of only II
tricks. The twelfth trick had to
come from a diamond ruff.
But Vests diamond bid, obviously
based on very little high-card
strength, showed a long suit and
indicated that East held, at most, a
singleton diamond. There was,
therefore, considerable danger of an
overruff by East.
To prevent an overruf South drew
the ace and queen of trump, then
laid down the diamond ace and
ruffed low diamond with dummy's
spade king. East discarded a heart,
but dummy still was able to cash
the three hearts successfully, while
South discarded the rest of his dia-
monds.
Then South led a fourth heart,
ruff1ng in his own hand in order to
draw the last trump. At the end,
he cashed the ten of clubs and con-
ceded a club trick to East.
