TIGHT RACE FOR GAGE
 HON0RS, NO. DIVISION

EUGENE, Ore, March 2.-lR- Washington State College cagers close out their 1948 basketball cam paign tonight-still in the fight for the Northern Division, Pacific Coast Conference, title.
 The Cougars roared back from two wide first half deficits last night to eke out a narrow 62-60 win over the University of Oregon Ducks,
 The win, first in three road starts, left Washington State in position to tie Oregon state for the crown, But only if the Cougars repeat their win tonight, over Oregon, and if Ore gon topples oregon State in their remaining tilt Saturday night.
 A third team, the University of Washington, also could figure in the title deadlock by winning two re- maining games with Idaho-if Ore gon State bows to oregon.

cure medical and nursing care
early enough in pregnancy.
When a woman appears for
her first medical examination
around her seventh or eighth
month, she makes it more diff
hcult for herself and for her
baby. If her general condition
is below par, there is much
less time to bring it to a salts
factory level before the birth
OF the baby. If she has syphilis
1t is almost too late to do any
thing to prevent her baby be-
ing born with the disease.
We cannot o~ver-emphasize
the Importance of adequate
and nursing care early
enough in pregnancy and
throughout the entire prena-
tai period. The time to go to
the doctor is at the time when
pregnancy is suspected, or at
least by the fourth month. A
complete physical examina-
ton given at this time enables
the doctor to find out whether
or not the condition of the ex-
pectant mother is good. If any
thing is wrong, treatment can
be started at once. Also, if the
doctor knows the mothers
condition early in pregnancy,
he will be able to discover
slight changes that may APP
pear at later exams and inter-
pref them for the good Of the
mothers well-being.
Nursing supervision begun
in early pregnancy gives the
enough time to prepare
herself for the safe delivery of
a healthy baby. Because of
such supervision, danger signs

willingness to work for the
people, and the strength to
stand by his convictions, and
not be led around or induced
into compromise that would be
unfair to those whom he was
sent to represent. 1t cannot be
doubted that the man for
whom we speak has lived up
to expectations, and we are
happy and proud to endorse
him, particularly at a time
when there are SO many who
would do almost anything to
get into the Council, above
board and otherwise.

Our Health Department is
striving every day to make
pregnancy safer for the expec-
tant mothers of St. Thomas,
st. John and st. Croix.
Rendering medical and nurs
ing supervision to expectant
mothers throughout the pre-
natal period is one of the most
important functions of the Div
ision of Public Health Nurs-

flee consultations, and clinics,
all efforts are made to ensure
a safe delivery of a healthy

HARR1GAN SHOULD BE REELECTED

IT SHOULD by now be clear to all that the Honorable
Ludwig E. Harrigan is fully deserving of any and all honest
public support he will receive on November End. He has con-
Quoted his campaign with dignity and fairness, and may be
counted among the very few who insisted in maintaining a
measure of selfrespect in political campaigning. What we are
saying is nothing new, for it is fully known. And there are
those who appreciate it enough to show it at the polls on cleo
ton day.
ON OCTOBER 2, we came out for Mr.. Harrigan, lusti-
many issues, and his conduct both in and out of the Council.
Principal among these was the fact that he had worked cease
lessly for improved conditions in ST. Croix, and particularly
the Labor Union which he represented His ability, as shown
by the marked improvements in both the structure and the
functioning of that body is also apparent to all. One of our
policies has been to take definite stands on public issues and
matters, and so when Mr.. Harrigan announced his candidacy,
we took time out to state our view in that connection. Up to
this time, unfortunately to say the least, too many people en-
Joy the double game, and never show their true colorS, pre-
ferring instead to play both sides. We are satisfied that we
were fully justified in the stand we took, and we know that
there are those who agree with us.
TYPICAL OF the old, outmoded, worn-out type of cam
paigning, people have insisted in trying to spread lies which
help neither side. Matters which have nothing whatever to do
with ~realissues are made up, and spread around, with the OBJ
vious intent to hurt Mi. Harrigan. But, as we said before, peo-
pie are tired of that sort Of thing by now, and we predict that
the day is coming when campaigns will have to be conducted
on issues, and not on personalities. And the sooner we shall
attract the most capable leadership to the legislature.
IN ELECTINC a man for service in the legislature our
people ought to think in terms of his honesty, his sincerity, his

By Fronk Colby
Obscured Vowels in English.

It is necessary, about every two
years, to write column on the
obscured or neutral sound Of vowels
in unaccented syllables. The Colby
symbol for the obscure or neutral
sound Is "uh," as, SOE-fuh for sofa,
uh-KOUNT for account, PROP-uh-
GANG for propaganda, etc.
A few readers (almost invariably
elderly people, insist on interpre-
tating "uh" as an animal-like grunt,
and scold me roundly. Says G.. E.
Seymour of South Westmoreland
avenue, Los Angeles: ut is time you
stopped teaching this sloppy pro-
nunciation. Are you trying to get us
back to the Indian Ugh? Stup ut
Culby und spuk Unglish fur uh
chunge."
The dictionaries use various
methods of indicating the obscure
or neutral vowels. Some of the
symbols are confusing or unintelli-
gible to the average dictionary
reader.
But no modern dictionary falls
to give full sanction to the obscure
vowel sound in unaccented syllables.
My symbol "uh" is in no way a
grunt-like sound. 1t stands for the
proper and natural neutral vowel
sound which has been heard in
English for centuries. My "uh'
is no more a grunt than are "ah,
oh, eh."
Indeed, two Of our newest die
tionaries-Funk & Wagnalls COL
lege Standard and Grosset & Dun
laps Words: The New Dictionary
are using the symbol "uh" in their
1947 editions. Here are a few eX-
ampleS: America-F. & W.; uh-
MER-i-cuh; G. & D.: uh-MER-rih-
kuh. Machinery; F. & w: muh-
SHEEN-er-ee. Arabesque; F. & W.:
ar-uh-BESK; G.. 81 D.: air-uh-
BESK, etc.
