SAN FRANCISCO Sept 19-SiX- ty thousand units of surplus blood plasma have been distributed by the American Red Cross to state health departments in seven west ern states, report issued by Dr. Asa Barnes, Red Cross medical di- rector for the Pacific Area, shows.
 The plasma is part of the .250,000 units declared surplus by the Army and Navy early this year and turn d back to the American Red Cross for free civilian use Quantities issued to the states follow Arizona, 1,752 units; Cali fcrnia, 35,517 units; Idaho 3,532 units Nevada 4SO units; Oregons, 3,413 units; Utah, 1.248 units; Washington. 11,940 units, Alaska Territorial Health DepartmenD. 400 units.

 Although rumors have reached Dr. Barnes office that some pat ients have been charged for sur plus plasma, he said no substantial ed case has come to his attention. Some physicians, he said, had failed to make clear to patients that the charge was solely for ad- ministering plasma, while other physicians used plasma which came from commercial sources, and that the charge made in such cases was legitimate.

''i'' as in did" The second choice
is: dy-REKT, "dy-" rhyming. with
"by, my" The short ''i'' is the more
logical, however, since vowels in
English tend to remain short in un-
accented syllables.

the myth started is mystery.

TRAGEDY TEEN

Oh, creature fair, calm and serene,
Cover Girl on the magazine,
Smiling out for my inspection,
Your life must be indeed perfection,
It's you the Smooth Joe
Always takes out,
Your clear complexion
Never breaks out;
You've all the clothes
That you can wear,
And born you were with curly. hair.
To gorge banana splits
Like Betty Cradle!
AS suits a girl who has
Such great looks,
You have no spaces in
Your date books.
You never lack for new rOmances,
Or cut-ins when you go to dances;
You never need to know the sting
Of waiting for your phone to ring.
So be your lot
But mine is tougher
An average teen must
Sigh and suffer!

WORDS TO WATCH

LouiSville: Please pronounce res
taurant." Is the "a" in the last syl-
liable ''ah'' or a fiat "a"?-B. R..
Answer: Restaurant is French
loan-word that means literally
that which restores" For instance
the French will say: lie vim est un
bon restaurant, Wine is a good re-
storer." In fgurative sense, the
French also use restaurant as we
do-to designate a public eating
place. In the French pronunciation
the M and "t' are silent, and the
word ends with '''rah'' nasalized.
.hus: res-tOe-RAH(N)
The frequently heard American
pronunciation, "RESS, ,tuh-rawnt," is
an imperfect try at the French pro-
nunciation. However, American die
tionaries list the third syllable with
neutral or obscure vowel sound
like the "a" of sofa. thus: RESS-
tOe-runt.
Note. The dictionaries use vari-
GUS symbols for the neutral (uh)
sound of vowels: in Webster's pro-
nunciation of restaurant, the "a"
of rant is an italic letter and is not
Roman letter like this: a. In Funk
& Wagnalls'. the neutral vowel is
represented by an upsidedown "e. I"
IN the New Century, the obscure
"a" of rant is an "a'' with two
lots underneath, etc.
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS: In the
arst syllable of direct" and its de-
rivatives, is the 'i' short or long?
