'Toke Ny Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
Some Words to watch.


Hypochondria derives from the
Greek hypo, under" plus chon-
dros, Carthage" In Latin, hypo-
chondria means, "the abdomen" for
it was formerly believed that the
abdomen parts of the body un-
der the cartilage Of the breastbone
and above the navel-was the seat
Of hypQchondria, or melancholy.
In modern usage, hypochondria
means, morbid anxiety about ones
health or physical condition: imagi-
nary illness" Pronunciation: HY-
puh-KON'dree-uh.
Hypochondriac is: HY-puh-KON'-
dree-ak.
Homily, 'an admonition: a reli-
gious or moralizing discourse" )"
should not be confused with nor
pronounced like the word homely.
Honily Is from homilos, IAN as
sembly." Rhyme the first syllable
with Tom, thus: HOM-i-lee; or:
HOM-uh-lee.
It Is a not uncommon error to
pronounce the first syllable of he
roism like the word hear. But the
first syllable sc" should be nat (eh)
rs in herald, heron. Be sure to
say: HEH-roe-ism. And heroine,
Of course, is HEH-roe-in.
As for the word heroic, do not
pronounce 1t "HEH-roe-ik." Bet
ter accent the second syllable and
say: hi-ROE-ik.
Incidentally, the drug heroin is
not related to the hero word fam
lily. 1t is q German-co coined trade
name for q derivative of morphine,
which is known as diacetylmorphine
hydrochlor pronounced: dy-uh-
SEE till MAWR'feen HY druh-
KLOE'ride. However, heroin is pro-
nounced exactly like the word he
roine: HEH-roe-in.
'1rregardless is an erroneous
word, actually double negative,
since ir- means mot" and LESS
means without" Irregardless is
the result of false association with
irrespective, legitimate word that
is not q double negative.
Do not use irregardless. The cor
rect word is: regardless: ri-GAHRD-
l'ss.
Jambalaya, Southern dish Of
rice and ham cooked together, Is
pronounced: JAM-buh-LY'uh. The
origin of janbalaya is uncertain. It
may have sprung from a Louisiana
corruption Of the French jambon,
'.h M" pronounced: zhah(n)-
BAW(N.
Heard on a radio communication:
'Faced with q shortage Of eye-run
ore" The pronunciation "eye-run"
for iron Is obsolete. In modern
usage the correct pronunciation Is:
EYE-ern.
Irony is not akin to the word
iron. It Is from the Greek eiron,
"a dissembler in speech" Irony is
pronounced: EYE-run-ee. The ad-
jective ronic is: eye-RON-ik.

When first born the baby Is the
size of q small mouse. It is trans
ferred to the mothers pouch to
remain in seclusion and safety un-
til old enough to ride piggy hack.
Here 1t learns to hold fast while
its mother climbs over trees and
learns, too, to accept the tender
leaves she passes back to 1t with
her supple arm.
This arm can also reach back
far enough to deliver q needed

When the male reaches adult

settles in fork, and begins telling
the world in a doeful wall how

No black mark has been chalked

There are six varieties Of eucalyptus
growing In the State that are es-

Koalas now enjoy a private park,
a reservation set aside for them In
Sydney, Australia. 1t has an
abundance Of the eucalyptus trees
that furnish food and drink to the
famous little teddy bears.
Koalas are dying out in New
South Wales, but in Queensland
there are said to be about SOC, 900
in the bush. These small animals
were such favorites they were
wanted everywhere for pets and
their dense coats were in demand.
Things looked dark for them until
a law was passed prohibiting their
sale or removal from the country.
Koalas do not look like teddy
bears. Teddy bears resemble Koa-
las. They inhabited the earth
more especially the part called
Australia, for about 2 million years
before the rst teddy bear toy was
fashioned.
Most Of a Koala's lifetime, which
amounts to about is years, is spent
in the treetops. In spite Of his
dense fur coat, he does not per-
Spire. Neither does he have any
odor other than the pleasant one
of eucalyptus Oil. Lice or such
pests avoid him. Only the tick
can make the trek through the
thick fur blanket to suck his blood.
Every Koala, no matter of what
age, wears an expression Of mild
surprise which often drifts into
prolonged concentration. The small
hands have two thumbs" and great
clinging ability. When the big
head with the conaical face, rub
berry black nose. round button eyes
and big fur-lined ears confront
you, the appeal is hard to resist.
