axe Nv Word for 1t
Fronk Colby

The standard American pronun-
citation is: RIG-er MAWR-riss. 1t
is listed as second choice by most
dictionaries and it Is the only pro-
nunciation recommended by Dor
lands Medical Dictionary, which is
a pretty good indication that RIG-er
MAWR-tiss prevails in the medical
profession.
Heard on a fight broadcast: "And
now both boys are rubbing their feet
in the REZZ-in box ." The
word used is resin, pronounced I
|REZZ-in. But 1t was used incor3
rectly. Resin is the yellowish.
gummy substance exuded from
plants, especially pine or f1r trees.
When resin is distilled, q hard,
amber -colored residue is obtained.
It is called rosin. Violinists apply
it to their bows; boxers, acrobats
and athletes use it on their hands
and feet to prevent slipping. The
correct pronunciation Is: ROZZ-in.
Heard on a morning commentae
ton: "REP-er-KUSH-uns" for the
word repercussions. The word
means "after effects" The word
was used correctly; but the "repTc
in the first syllable has no sanction.
The correct pronunciation is: Rec

|rhyming with hush, lush. ~ ~.

Bear Trees.

Quaking aspen trees appear to be
the favorite writing pads OF bears
in the Pinon Mesa area OF Western
Colorado. For more than 80 years
the bears have left their marks on
the aspens. Now how did they ever
discover that the soft white bark
on the aspen would make excellent
writing pads? That the claw marks
would turn black and the writing
last for many years?
Just what is the reason the bears
select these tall, slender trees?
There Is no wide fork OF heavy
limbs on which to rest and If there
are branches on the trunk bruin
breaks them off leaving only a few
small branches in the crown OF the
tree. The trees are not used for
lookouts.
At one time it was believed that
bears marked the trees to proclaim
to others their prior claim, to the
territory. Others maintained the
writer was leaving messages to mate
and fellow travellers where he could
be found. But, authorities on bears
discovered that messages were left
on stones, bleached bones and tree
trunks by q spray of musk.
Bears are terribly near-sighted.
Is it possible they are marking their
own trail? The bear while moving
along the trail will stop ever so often
to stand erect and look about. This
is for getting his bearingss Perhaps
he seeks the aspen trunk, making q
mote upon its white page for future
references. The writer always makes
an effort to leave marks at the top
of all others.
Whatever the reason bruin had
for scribbling with sharp claws Ger
tain marks on the soft white aspen
bark, it was to him an excellent one.
It takes man long time to discover
the reasons for certain acts Of Ma
lures Children, but when the revela-
ton comes, 1t Is always found that
the animal had very good reason

for the performance and, usually, 1t
proves to be the perfect solution OF
the problem.
On many Of the trees there are
small claw marks which resemble
those made by the bear. However,
the miniature copies are not young
bear tracks but signatures Of porcu-
pines. The branches at the top OF
the trees appeal greatly to the foliage
consumer. His sharp claws bite into
the soft trunk leaving very definite
record of the ascension.
On some of the aspens we find
long claw marks on either side OF
the. trunk. These indicate that the
bear in going up, slipped. Other
marks clearly indicate the bear was
not in hurry. The marks are
evenly spaced and not deep. Those
far apart and deeply written often

Heard on q recipe" program:
a and include dish of young
onions and redishes." The pronun-
citation "redish" for radish is fire.
quently heard and it seems likely
that it is the result Of associating
the radish with its bright reddish
skin. The first syllable, OF course,
should rhyme with bad, fad. thus:
RAD-ish.
Heard at a luncheon club: And,
like the prodigal son, we are wasting
our substance on RY-chuss living"
The word used is riotous, "wanton,
profiigate; of the nature OF riot"
Many of us pronounce riotous like
the word righteous. But riotous and
righteous are about as far apart in
meaning as words can be. For
riotous, say: RY -uh-tuss. For right
eous, say: RY-chuss.
If you are reader OF whodunits,
YOU know that rigor mortis Stiffness

way)., Practically all dictionaries
list as first choice RY-gawr MAWR-
tiss. But I doubt seriously If that
Latinized pronunciation is ever heard
except In pedantic speech.

Goren on Bridge
Taking q Chance without . Risk.

Taking . Chance without Risk.
When q play has everything to
gain and nothing to lose, it must
appeal to the economy OF every
right-thinking bridge player Yet
not long ago I was the witness at
q tournament where 10 players in
quick succession became victims OF
the same optical illusion which TO-
days hand appears to have provided.
The final contract was normal
enough. While South's leap to game
after q mere single raise was rather
on the aggressive side, I would
not venture to criticize such action.
The opening lead was the queen
of clubs, which was ducked all
around. The jack of clubs was con-
tinued and the declarer ruffed. A
low spade was led to the queen
and the diamond finesse succeeded.
Dummy was entered with the king
of spades and the diamond f1nesse
repeated. At this point declarers
uniformly pulled the last trump
for fear that the ace of diamonds
would be ruffed by the opposition.
When the diamonds failed to break,
declarer tried to win trick with
the queen of hearts, but was un-
successful. The losses were. there
fore, two hearts, one diamond and
o club; down one.
Drawing the last trump was a
play that had nothing to gain.
At best, declarer could but "break
even" by such maneuver. Declarers S
reason for drawing the last trump
was to protect the ace Of diamonds
from being ruffed. But it will be
observed that if that suit does
not break, declarer gains nothing
by saving" the ace of diamonds,
for the seven of diamonds must
still be lost.
There is only one trump out
standing and If the ace Of dia-
monds is trumped, deelarer loses
nothing because the remaining dla-
mond can now be taken care OF
by dummy's last trump. Declarer
should, therefore, first lay down
the high diamond. If every one
follows, the last trump can be
pulled, and the seven of diamonds
Is high. If every one does not follow,
there is still a chance that the
player who has no diamonds will
also be out of trumps, in which
case the ace will live and the
seven Of diamonds can be trumped
In dummy.
Two chances, it will be agreed, are
better than one.

Catholic Information
If you were 10 go to Mass

If you, MT. Non-Catholic Neigh bor, were to go to Mass some Sun day, or some weekday, you would be present at--not just ceremony, not mere communion service but the true re-enactment of the Last Supper Gtself the anticipa- tion of Calvary)-just as Peter and John and the other Apostles as sisted at the original event Cthe first Mass) 1900 years ago.
 You would see at the altar a priest, empowered by Almighty God to represent the only perfect Priest Jesus Christ. You would see that priest, in obedience to Christs own injunction, take bread and wine and, with Christ's own words: "This is my body-this is the chalice of my blood," change the substance of the bread and the wine into substance of the Body and Blood of Christ. This is the pure oblation, the perfect sacrifice, which alone (and unlike the sac rifices of the Old LaW) is adequate and worthy of a perfect God. Thus is re-enacted in an unbloody man. ner, the sacrifice of our Savior on the Cross-the same Infinite Vic- tim. Marvellous privilege, in the Catholics estimation, to be present in person and apply it's merits to his own soul
Seward seaport record., 1949-08-19

You would then see the priest complete his perfect sacrifice by receiving in Holy Communion the ConSecrated Elements. You would also see the communicants at the altar rail receiving the Sacred Host, thereby sharing in the great Sac rlfice, partaking of the Divinity of the Son of God, and gaining un- numbered graces.
 The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was the keystone of worship in all Christendom for 1900 years, as it has been in all Catholicism for 1900 years. And so it will be to the end of time. It is the Mass that crowds Catholic churches all over the World-tWo, three, four, five, and more times every Sunday morning It is the Mass that brings from the comfort of their homes every day in the week a goodly number of devout and understand ing Catholics. It is the Mass that is "the Mystery of Faith of the new and eternal testament"
 If it's anything Catholic. ask a Catholics!
