SIGNS OF SPRING.
By LiIIion Cox Athey

BY the time this month makes its
bow. there are unmistakable signs
of spring. At least for the wide
awake nature lovers. If you visit
marshes you are greeted by the
"Can-kor- of the red-winged
blackbirds who have come ahead
of the ladies and are stalking out
their claims on the still frozen,
treeless, marshes.
OF course, the lowly skunk cab
bage has long ago pushed its way
through frozen earth and sent its
special perfumed message to eager,
hungry insects. ....-....t
A severe winter retards the de-
velopment of some plants and dis
courages the debut of young and old
animals who have been in cozy
winter quarters awaiting the call OF
sunshine and spring.
A sudden warmth will awaken
the mourning cloak butterfly like an
insistent alarm clock. Jack-in-the-
pulpit, will appear we'll dressed and
steadily preaching his spring ser
mon.
And the lazy woodchucks hav-
ing spent months in deep slumber
are about in goodly numbers. There
are many new babies venturing out
| for the first time. In genial cli-
mates brown bear twins are hav-
ing boxing bouts and learning to
sample young, tender grass.
January and February babies have
been taught their manners by now
and had instruction in dodgine
dangers. Mink, fox, skunk, rabbits
and others take sunbaths.
The Hylas. the tiny little Spring
peppers, are adding their praise
to the chorus already going full
tilt in cold ponds and lakes dur
ing sunshine hours. Wood frogs
can be seen during this month.
Even sky crickets domiciled under
fiat stones work their way out tt
enjoy the warmth of their roof
Short horned grasshoppers, wise.
looking fellows, step out and look
around. Garter snakes timber up
This is a sure sign to many that
Spring is already here.
Naturally the flower procession is
marching steadily on. In the
marshes the lovely staminate flow
ers of the pussy willow can be seer
for some distance away so laden
with rich pollen they gleam like
gold in the sun.
Flight robins, bluebirds and others
are loud in their talk about good
business ahead" Even mosquitoes
start their seasonal activities.
| Fish are searching for clear shall
lows in which to build their nest
And through the clear water you
may see caddis worms drag their
stately or lowly homes about with
them as they seek food. Countless
are the signs that Spring is here
and once more we sally forth to
I greet our friends of the open places

What's The Origin?

@. Could you tell us the origin of
the term bulldozer?-McD. M.
A. Bulldozer Is strictly an Amer
icanism. The earliest reference
have found is the 1870s when the
name bulldozers was applied to LOU
isiana vigilantes who made prac-
tice of cowhiding negroes to pre-
vent them from voting.
But at first the word was spelled
with an IS" instead of "z"-bull-
doser. Later. to bulldose or bulldoze
came to mean ito intimidate by
show or threat of force" In 1880.
C. w. Berry, in "Other Side wrote:
"They pull him out of bed with q
revolver to his head and force him
to open his own safe. That's called
'bulldosing' a man"
The Saturday Review" of July
9, 1881, explained that, "A Californ-
ian bull-doser is a pistol that car
ries bullet heavy enough to de-
stroy human life with certainty"
Soon the spelling with "z" became
customary in bulldoze, bulldozing.
bulldozer. And to bulldoze lost its
earlier meanings and came to des-
ignate the act of forcing or COM
pelling by intimidation.
From this meaning the machine
for pushing earth took the name
bulldozer-it forces ahead, compell-
ing every obstacle to give way be-
fore it.
Now how did such picturesque
word originate? The dictionaries
usually say "origin unknown"
There may be clue in the first
use of the word, and / am offering
this explanation as theory which
may or may not have something to
it.
The first spelling was "bulldose."
and the word meant to fog or in
timidate by threat of f1ogging with
cowhide, l. e., whip made OF
braided leather.
Now such whip was customarily
spoken of as a bull-whip. 1t seems
logically then that to bulldose may
have originated from the idea Of
giving one dose of the bull whip.

Counting to 13 may serve as
great antidote for fear. In today's
hand, played in the recent Florida
State championships, several West
players defending against game
contract in spades became the VIC
TINS of a mild form of hysteria
which induced them to cash" their
tricks in a hurry for fear they
would be lost. The simple expedient
of counting declarer's hand. which
was open to public inspection,
would have dissolved the mirage.
The bidding followed normal
lines. Note that North properly
chose to double the opening bid OF
one diamond. Holding fine hand
with strength in both the majors,
it would not have been sufficiently
aggressive to make a mere over
call, even though vulnerable. South
held the values that might have
justified a jump in response to the
double, but elected to make mini
mum response. But when North
was able to raise, he felt there
was no further time for dallying.
West held book" in his own hand
but had little faith in partner pro-
ducing a trick and refrained from
doubling
The six of diamonds was the OPEN
ing lead in most cases and de-
clarer won with the ace and ruffed
out the queen of diamonds. A low
spade was led to the nine in dummy
and on the return of the suit West
had to win with the ace. 1t was at
this point that he became seized
with panic in the face of the
almost solid heart suit in dummy.
The fear that declarer would get
rid of his clubs on the dummy's
hearts took hold of him and hop
ing against hope that partner held
the king of clubs, he cashed the
ace, therefore signing his own
death warrant.
When Jaff Click of Miami held
the West hand he took a brief
time out at this juncture to count
declarer's hand. South is known to
have had one diamond and five
spades. 1t became a simple matter
to juggle the seven other cards
around in various combinations. to
see that declarer could not possibly
obtain enough discards. If he held
only two hearts, he would have to
have five clubs and three discards
would not be enough. If declarer
held only one heart, he would be
left with six clubs and four dis
cards would not suffice and If de-
clarer held three hearts he would
be able to discard only two of his
four clubs. Click, therefore, exited
gracefully by cashing the ace and
another heart and waited for de-
clarer to attack the club suit him
self. In so doing he was obliged
to lose two tricks to the defense and
accept one-trick defeat.
Declarer could have won the
hand on the opening lead by taking
the diamond finesse and in my
opinion the play was indicated. 1t
was not a remote contingency that
West held three aces and king.
in which case declarer could see
that he would need three discards,
available only If two diamond tricks
could be won.

the previous almost all-absorbing
interest in describing what is 60
ing on. 81 Many more social
scientists have come to realize
that it is more important to do
something about practices of dis
elimination (for example, restric-
tive covenants and racial quotas)
than about prejudiced attitudes.
az There has been increasing re-
cognition of the Importance of
using personal experiences in
causing change in contrast to the
previous emphasis on printed pro-
paganda and educational materials
and innocuous speeches about
brotherhood.
(5) There is a growing recOgni-
ton that it is not enough to find
answers to problems, but that it
is equally important to devise
methods which insure that the an
swers will find widespread and
effective application. (6) There
is less inclination to work in the

lvOry-tOwer isolation of the tradi-
tlonal social scientist and a grow
ing preference for working in
close collaboration with the
agencies that are responsible for
carrying out the program. GU
There is growing concern with as
sesslng program materials in
terms of their concrete results
rather than in terms of what
somebody thinks about them. In
the field of personality study,
there have been two trends which
are of interest. These are: (8)
There has been increasing interest
in the study of prejudiced and un-
prejudiced people and how they
got that way" Finally, (9)
There has been a growing interest
in the reactions of members of
minority groups to their group
membership.
All of these trends can be illus
trated in the work of one of the
leading pioneers in the field, the
Commission on Community Inter
relations (CCD which is the scien-
tific department of the American
Jewish Congress. To give an ade-
quate picture of the scope of social
science operations in the field of
prejudice, examples are drawn
from variety of projects.
The following will give some in
dicatiOn of the daily-life problems
with which social scientists are
concerned. A series of CCI studies
were devoted to the question of
what to do when you Overhear
someone making a bigOted anti
minority remark in public. These
studies, which attempted to meet
a widely felt need, showed that,
from the viewpoint of the effects
on the other people who also hear
these remarks, it is better for you
to speak up than to hold your
peace. They also showed that it
is more effective to answer the
bigot calmly and sincerely than in
an indignant, highly emotional
manner. Finally, they showed
that, among many different types
of answers tried, the best one in
the public situation is an answer
which stresses the American ira
ditiOn of fair play.
