axe Ny Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
Words to Watch.

"The large standing army, with
an officer CASTE" said Gen. Marshall,
has no place among the institutions
of modern democratic state"
In quoting this statement, some
broadcasters pronounced the word
caste to rhyme with haste, paste, I"
being misled by the spelling.
Caste is from the Portuguese
casta, "a pure breed" from the
Latin castus, pure, chaste." The
English word caste means "a sepa-
rate class of persons; clique;
religious class, as in India"
The word is pronounced exactly
like the word cast" Say: kast.
A sadist, strictly speaking, is a
person who derives a perverted
satisfaction from the physical tor
ture Of a loved one. The word has
its origin in the surname of the
French writer Marquis de Sade
(mar-KEE duh SAD.
Lately, the word has been used
to designate any person who delights
in atrocity for its own sake. Hitler
has often been spoken Of as a
sadist.
In sadist, sadistic, and sadism,
the "a" is fiat as in bad, mad" Say:
SAD-ist, sa-DISS-tik, SAD-iz'm.
Promulgate, ito give out; to put
into force" is sometimes heard as
''PROM-ul-gate," the pronunciation
prevailing in Britain. But in best
American usage, the second syllable
receives the accent, and the 20" is
long as in "hoe, toe." Say: proc
MULL-gate.
Milwaukee: What's official on the
pronunciation of the word stabilize?
Should the first syllable be like
"stab"?-D. w.
Answer: While some dictionaries
show the "stab" pronunciation, it is
not heard often in the United States.
Since the word Is a derivative of
stable, steady, constant, firm,"
there seems to be little reason for
changing the sound of the "a" from
long to short. Best usage is: STAY
bi-lize.
San Diego: Where did Jack Lon
don get the name Shark" for his
yacht in "The Cruise of the Shark"
and has 1t a meaning?-H. w.
Answer: Shark was borrowed from
Lewis CAROLS story, THE Hunting
Of the Shark" He coined the word
from snake" and shark"
Evening star., 1950-06-22

Observations at the bridge table
have convinced me that adversely
can have its uses. An abundance
Of honors and solid trump suit
tend to soften the possessor and
lead him into careless ways. But
when trump suits are Shaky, high
honors adversely held, and there
are barely enough tricks to make
both ends meet, strict economy in
the management of intermediate
cards may be an absolute requisite
to survival. These conditions are
conducive to the development of a
better playing technique.
In today's hand South became
declarer at a game contract In
spades, holding but a scant major
ity of the trumps. 1t Is not my de-
sire to indorse the auction, for it
will be seen that contract of five
clubs could be made with no ap-
preciable effort. AS a matter of fact,
in the tournament from which this
hand was culled one declarer with
careful play succeeded in making
six clubs when he caught West in
squeeze. After East's overcall of one
heart, South chose to pass in the
belief that his hand did not have
sufficient merit to justify free bid
even at the level of one. When
North reopened the bidding with a
takeout double, South properly bid
one more than was necessary to
show that he was very close to a
spade bid in the first place.
Against the game contract West
led the four of hearts, which was
taken with the ace and the ace of
trumps cashed. Declarer then en-
tered his hand with the ace of
diamonds and led the jack of
spades, and that moment lost the
hand. He was obliged to lose three
trump tricks and eventually a club.
Proper technique at the second
Evening star., 1950-06-22

trump lead was to play q small
one and not the jack. The lead of
a low trump had everything to gain
and nothing to lose. If spades hap
pened to break 3-3, it was inmate
rial which trump declarer led, since
the next lead would clear up the
suit. But If the trumps were 4-2,
there was a chance that the player
holding the doubleton held one of
the honorS which would fall on
small card and permit the jack to
drive out the other high honor
next time.
Note, too, that if one player held
four spades. including the king and
queen, there was no possible way to
avoid the loss Of three trump tricks.
When play cannot lose and might
gain it's the choice of the people.

houses i'm various stages of construc-

homes for more families reflect faith
in Buttons future, fully justified
by past performances-Bluffton, we
maintain, is the biggest little town

in which to rear a family it can't be

expensive tackle in the Buckeye with

Last Fridays mail delivery in
Bluffton was the lightest in 20
years-very little except first class
mail arrived because OF the railroad
strike which demoralized postal
service. Bulky mail together with
periodicals such as Life, Time and
other magazines which make up a
large portion of Fridays volume
failed to arrive and were not deliv-
cred until Monday morning.
And by a strange quirk of fate
the Bluffton News is now delivered
to Mt. Cory, Rawson and Beaver

in Bluffton it's on Thursday. This
is because of the new postal regu-
lation restricting deliveries in resi-
dence sections to one daily. Under

Blutfton municipal council Monday
night turned over to the Bluffton
Sportsmen's club management of the
Buckeye lake area for fishing, boat
ing, picnicking and other recreation
al facilities during the coming year.
Under terms of the agreement, the
club will control and operate the
lake and picnic area for the year.
Fishing in the lake will be restricted
to members of the club, but the pic
mic and recreation area is open to
everyone.
The Sportsmen's club established
the park at the west end of the lake
about five years ago, and facilities
have been considerably expanded
since that time.

japanese cherry trees in full bloom
the first of the week. You may
still get good look at them if
you hurry-alhough they are past
their prime. The trees usually in
blossom the first of May are about
two weeks late.
So far as we know, there are only
three of these trees in town-one
at the home of Sidney Stettler and
his sister, Mrs. Inez Neuenschwan-
der at Lawn and College avenues,
another on the College campus be-
tween the old and new gymnasiums
and a third at the former Lenore
Myers properly on College road now
occupied by the VIM. Burbicks. If
there are other trees please let us
know and we will be glad to pass
the word along to readers of this
column.
