axe Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

Funk and Wagnalls New Standard
Dictionary solemnly warns: Raise
should never be used of bringing
human beings to maturity. 1t is
a common misuse in the Southern
and Western States. Cattle are
raised; human beings are brought
up, or reared"
More nonsense. Raise and rear
are as closely synonomous as two
words can be- AS a matter of fact,
they both descended from the
Anglo-Saxon raeran. Skeat lists
the words as exact equivalent.
To raise children is not a mis-
use in the Southern and Western
States, or anywhere else in Amer
lea. The New Century sanctions
raise in the meaning ito bring up,
or rear, as a person or an animal" /"
The American College Dictionary:
Raise: To bring up; rear; to
raise six children" Thorndike Cen
tury Dictionary: Raise: Bring up;
rear; parents raise their children" I"

A Raise in Salary.

The older dictionaries and English
textbooks are seriously in error in
condemning the word raise in such
constructions as "a raise in sal
ary; to give one a raise" They say
that the proper word is rise"
Nonsense!
Raise, in the meaning of "an in
crease Tin salary or wages" pre-
walls in all levels of American
speech. It is used as both noun
G'm to get a raise on the first
of the month"; and verb Il asked
him to raise my salary. The
modern dictionaries give it full
sanction. -
Now, substitute rise" for raise"
| in those two sentences, and see how
absurd it would sound. Not even

sistant, DR.. Etaoin Shrdlu would

The bidding:

Pass Pass spade Pass
2hearts Pass diamonds Pass
diamonds Pass 5hearts Pass
6hearts Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Ace of hearts.
The final contract of six hearts
on today's hand appears to be a
very sound one and was reached on
direct and logical bidding. North,
despite his partners initial pass,
visualized slam possibilities after
South's two-heart take-out and
jumped in a new suit in order to
avoid the slight risk that South
might not choose to carry on. Note
that bid of only three diamonds,
while it probably will elicit another
call from partner, is nevertheless
not forcing. A responder is at lib
erty to check out at any time that
he finds it comfortable to do So
except where partner has jumped
In new suit. South decided to
accept the slam invitation because
he felt that he had about as much
as could be expected from a pass
ing partner.
Vests opening lead of the ace
of trumps was the best available.
Holding shoppers in all the adverse
suits, his attempt to cut down
dummy's ruffing powers was very
sound. Declarer won the second
lead in dummy and decided that the
only way to dispose of the diamond
losers was to establish dummy's
spades. He cashed the ace and
ruffed spade: cashed the ace of
clubs and ruffed another spade.
Discarded two diamonds on the king
andEqueen of clubs, entered dummy
with diamond and ruffed another
spade. When that suit failed to
break, he was down one.
Hard luck. partner, the spades
wouldn't break" was South's plain
tive cry. 1t wasn't hard luck at all,
There were eight spades out and
1t was not to be expected that they
would break four-four. South aimed
at the wrong target. There were
five diamonds out against him and
there was a good chance that they
would break three-two.
The proper procedure is to cash
the ace and king of diamonds and
the ace of clubs, then the ace of
spades, discarding a club. The
South hand is entered by ruffing a
spade. On the king and queen of
clubs two diamonds are parked. Al
diamond is ruffed with dummy's last
trump and declarer's hand is now
high. 1t might be argued that there
was danger that the third club
would be ruffed. That would re-
quire a six-two break which is dis
tinctly against the odds. Further
more, If that distribution actually
existed, it was extremely doubtful
that the hand could be made on
any line of play.

which for a time looked as if the

sneak day might be thwarted, the
upper classmen finally got away on

After all seniors had succeeded in
eluding pursuit, however, the group
finally made a noisy departure thru
the campus in a chartered bus, after
they had been picked up at the
homes of friends in the community.
First stop in the tour was at
Bowling Green where the seniors
breakfasted.
From there they continued to De

Florida's hotels, motor courts
apartments and cottages, which
at capacity, would house more
than 100000 visitors in single
day, represent a gigantic source
of Florida revenue. This means
that when tourist demand reaches
the winter peak. so does the cost
of accommodations. For all that
it is possible to find rooms rang
ing in price from $40 day down
to 81.
In many regions these days
there is little, if any, variance
in the cost of accommodations at
a good motor court and a good
hotel. Florida-bound vacationers
can get a good idea of overnight
lodging facilities before they leave
home by consulting the South
eastern Tour Book published by
the American Automobile Associ-
alton, or by writing for informa-
ton to the Chambers Of Com
merce in the towns they intend
to visit.
Virtually All Traces Of
Hurricane Damage Gone.
The fears. still current among
some Northerners. that many of
these establishments were dam
aged or demolished by the recent
Florida hurricane, would have
been easily allayed with q flrst-
hand view at the end of November.
Though the hurricane was the
worst in many years, most of the
debris has already been cleared
away. Symbolically. the regal
Roney Plaza is still without its
dome, blown away in the gale, and
the palm trees are sagging slightly
beneath the Miami moon; but.
otherwise. is is pretty difficult to
spot any hurricane damage. That
holds true not only in Miami, but
throughout the State.
When it comes to touring the
colorful Florida hinterlands, a
private passenger car is indis-
pensable. To the many visitors
who arrive in Miami by air and
rail, car rentals are available at
fairly moderate rates, so they too
can broaden their travel horizon
in the State.
