University figures that 10 pounds
of milk will put a gain on a veal
calf. This means, he explains, a
larger net income from milk than
selling the milk and paying the
hauling charges.
Before the war, farmers fed
about 30 billion pounds of skim
milk to livestock every year.
Christian advocated a return to
this method of marketing skim
milk as good business at current

last Monday night at Calvary Bap-

3D., N. c. said that the Atomic

LOADED with the hopes Of man.
kind, our human society, with an
A-bomb in her bosom and an H
bomb in her womb, cannot lag too
long in the control Of this ter
rifle power"
The greatest responsibility of
our. generation, he said, is to work
out a cooperation Of nations and
to do everything in our power to-
make the use Of the H-bomb un-
necessary.
But the idea Of zone world'' he
said, must begin at home. It must
begin inthe hearts and minds Of
the people, We must be more
democratic at home, and we
should try to get through the iron
curtain and get the truth there.
The speaker said that both
George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln were examples Of what
brotherhood" should mean, one
was the founder of this Republic
and theother was the great eman-
cipator who saved a great nation.
The Interchurch Fellowship Of
Washington has been in existence
since 1914 and provides an op-
portunity for all races and faiths
to meet together in worship. It
has become a special core of con-
Germ for better religious methods
and race relations in Washington.
The fellowship refuted very vi
girously the statement made by
Drew Pearson last Sunday when
he said in his broadcast that the
First Baptist Church Of Washing
ton, President Truman's own
church, was split wide open on
the civil rights issue.
Pearson said that the church
was torn with debate and dissen-
sion over the question of whether

Take MyWord for 1t
By Frank Colby
Pronunciation Clinic.


@. Here's a good one for your
pronunciation chnic-the word Feb.
ruary. Do you think people will ever
learn to pronounce it correctly?
A. February is said to have beer
introduced into the calendar by
Numa Pompilius, second King o1
Rome. He called the month Febru-
arius., from the Latin word februa
"feaStS of purification," for in Feb
ruary the Lupercalia were held, ano
women were purified by the priests
at that festival.
The priests, clad in goat skins
would make their way about Pala-
tine Hill; the women they encoun.
tered were struck with thongs oi
goatskin to insure fertility and easy
childbirth.
The Anglo Saxons called this
month sprout-kale from the sprout-
ing of cabbages at this season o1
the year.
Now as to the correct" pronun-
citation, all dictionaries but one

yoo-EHR-e as second choice, ex.

"r" is due to assimilation and the
influence of January.
For many years this column hele
out stoutly for FEB'roo-EHR-e ZEE
But most people-indeed the over.
whelming majority-simply will not
say FEB'roo-EHR-ee Therefore, J
am going to be realistic about II

Teachers will hate me for this
But linguistic facts are facts; ano
1t is fact that FEB'yoo-EHR-e ZEE
prevails in all levels of American
speech.
promised my readers that this
column would support no more lost
causes. The loss of the first "r" In
February is as natural as the loss
of the first "r'' in caterpillar, cater
cornered, and thermometer, and the
second "r" in paraphernalia, which
in all but pedantic speech, are pro.
nounced: KAT'uh-PILL-er, KAT

To put the lost "r's" back into
those words would give them 8

TronicaI Palms

At this time of the year Amer1-
cans see the palm in its natural
setting. Even the lowly cabbage
palm has q tropical look. AS for the
royal palm, it fairly takes your
breath away. Palms stands second
only to grain-yielding grasses. To
many natives in the tropics the
palm means food, drink, clothes
and shelter.
There are 5000 species described
and it is thought almost that many
still are undiscovered. Tropical
America is a palm paradise. Brazil,
with countless square miles of wet
Amazon country, can boast OF 500
species more than any other coun-
try. Colombia has an abundant
palm fora.
Actually palms are not trees.
Among the monocots-that man.
moth group with parallel-veined
leaves, which include such plants
rs orchids, lilies, iris, cannas and
the grassess-the family Of the
palms Is ambitious, evolving into the
arboreal type of growth.
Palms only show superficial re-
semblance to true trees. Their
trunks are quite unalike. Our COM
mon trees have a hard central core
Of wood which increases in diameter
annually and is surrounded by a
fairly soft corset of bark. Palms
have no growing layer and hardly
increase the diameter of their
trunks which have a soft spongy
heart surrounded by a hard ring of
tough flbers.
Many times this outer layer is SO
hard it repels the edge of an axe
For this reason, a native in clearing
the jungle for his home, will leave
all palms except those he must cut
down.
There is one palm called chonta
that produces the toughest yet
most flexible black f1bers known
They are in demand for the con-
struction Of bows, darts, spears,
blowguns and blowgun darts. Indeed
q sporting goods manufacturer
search for flexible, light, strong
wood for fine fishing rods and the
like, buys up all the chonta wood
he can find, and has a small plan
tation under cultivation.
Throughout the Pacific isles the
coconut palm is king. 1t has over
1000 uses, and is one of the worlds
most important trees. @
A Cingalese proverb often quoted
says, "the coconut will not grow
out Of the sound of the sea-" And
we know they thrive best with their
feet in salt water. The coconut
gives bountifully. Guam natives use
this natural food to fatten domestic
animals. The milk is served only
to the natives. 1t is the worlds
original sealed milk bottle.

Goren on Bridqe

When a choice of two plays is
presented to declarer, that one
should be selected which offers the
greater chance of success, even
though, If it fails, it involves the loss
of an additional so or 100 points.
An outstanding case Of false
economy was witnessed in todays
hand.
South had committed himself
to make seven spades, a contract
which it is not our purpose to in
dorse. South, by a series of Black
wood bids, ascertained that his
partner had, among other posses
sions, two aces and king and de-
cided to worry his way through for
the 18th trick. We would not have
been so sanguine in our hopes OF
disposing of the little diamond
loser.
West naturally opened the king
Of diamonds and declarer, OF
course, set about making plans for
the disposition of his loser in that
suit. There were two methods
available. One was to f1nesse the
Jack Of hearts, and the other was
to play the king, ace and ruff a
heart in the hope that the queen
would fall, establishing dummys
Jack. The actual declarer attempted
to ruff out the queen of hearts, and
failing in this effort went down to a
one-trick set.
Ia -,,hea1raytIu eoY,fecSed to me-
that he had a sneaking feeling that
the flnesse was a slightly better
percentage play, but that if it
failed he would 60 down two in
stead of one. I could have forgiven
him for the false belief that the
play he chose was better than the
finesse, but not for the false type
of economy that he put into prac-
tice. What is so points as a price
to pay for a better chance of full
f1llment of grand slam contract?
In point of fact, the flnesse is
the superior play. It will succeed
about half the time. Whereas with
seven cards out, the most probable
distribution is 4-3 and the missing
card, in this case the queen, is
more apt to be in the hand that
has four of the suit. 1t Is, there
fore, not a good bet that it will
fall by the third round.
A practical guide in determin-
ing whether to finesse or to at
tempt to drop an honor is mental
" to divide the outstanding cards
Is equally as possible and then act
upon the presumption that the
missing card is to be found In the
larger Of the two groups.
