Observations

So far as 1 am able to ascer-
tain, man is the only animal
upon whom the Creator has be-
slowed the gift Of coherent, in
telligible vocal expression. Yet
the art of conversation seems
woefully undeveloped, even with
persons who have their vocal
organs trained. CarelesSneSs is
often the cause of improper ex-
preston, and some of the
"dont's" which 1 will throw your
way may make you better under
stood. Cont talk through the
back of your head and expect to
be understood. Many persons
look off from you and talk,
whereas they should always face
you. If you are between me and
the window that you are looking
out, don't expect me to under
stand you; you are talking to
the window and not to me. If,
while talking to me, you permit
your voice to sink down instead
of using careful articulation, I
cannot understand you. 1t is not
necessary to shout to be heard
and understood; but I recon-
mend that you face the person
to whom you are talking, use 4
voice that can be heard easily,
articulate carefully and you
should have no difficulty in ex-
pressing yourself.

Little Girls Lead
In Safety Figures

The safest person in the United
States has an itchy foot again.
That little girl "a the National
Safety Councils perennial nom
inee for the mythical safety title
- has moved back to New Jer-
sey after years residence in
Connecticut.
New Jersey recorded the low
est accident fatality rate in
1850, according to the 1851 edi-
tion of Accident Facts" the
National Safety Councils stat
istical yearbook.
A little girl must be the safest
person, the Council thinks, be-
cause the safest age group was
the 5-14 bracket, and for some
reason little girls have fewer ac-
cidents than boys.

Their country to defend.

Veteronsc Column


Q-During my service in the
Navy, l received two service
connected disabilities-one dur
ing peacetime and the other dur
ing World War II. Now that I
have been discharged, could l get
two separate disability compen-
sation checks from VA, one for
each disability?
A-No. Only one compensation
award may be paid to an indi-
vidual veteran, regardless of the
number of disabilities he may
have incurred. However, if VA
approves your claim for disabil-
ity compensation, payment for
your combined disabilities will
be made at wartime rates, de-
spite the fact that one of the
disa bilities occurred during
peacetime service.
Q-Does veteran with a dis
honorable discharge have the
right to file claim for a VA
benefit?
Alt is always the privilege
of any veteran to. file a claim
with VA. But in order to estab-
lish eligibility for VA benefits he
must prove he was insane at the
time he committed the act for
which he was dishonorably dis
charged.
Q-Are the widower and chill
dren of woman veteran en-
titled to pension at her death?
A-Under present laws, the
widower is not entitled. But
surviving children may be en-
titled if eligibility requirements
are met.
Q-I signed a statement before
my discharge that my disability
existed before I entered the serv-
ice. VIII this render me ineligi-
bic for disability compensation?
A-No. One provision of the
CT Bill nullifies any such state
ments made at the time of dis
charge. Decision as to whether
your disability was incurred in
or aggravated by service will be
made by VA. Compensation may
be awarded for service aggra-
waited disabilities which existed
prior to service.

Some Words to Watch.

The word simultaneous is heard
occasionally as "SIM-ull-tay nee
uss.
Watch the word quantity. There
is a tendency to omit the first 1T"
as If quantity were spelled
quantity" This is the result Of as
sociation with the word quality, for
the words are often used together
in such constructions as, both
quality and quantity" Take care
that the first st" is clearly sounded,
thus: KWA1N-ti-tee.
Heard on a radio commercial !:
ANN -tuh-sid'' for the word
antacid, "neutralizing acids" Antacid
should be accented on the second
syllable, thus: ant-ASS-id.
The word cornice, for some un-
accountable reason is often mis-
pronounced like Cornish by men in
the building trades. The ssh" sound
In cornice Is erroneous. Correct:
KAWR.niss.

On the other hand, there is a

There Is no wine" in genuine,
except in dialectal speech. Pro-
nounce the third syllable exactly
like the word "in," thus: JEN-yoo-
in. Southerners and Southwestern
ners will want to watch the first

There is no ram" in ignoramus.

word is Latin and means literally
I'VE do not know" The word

Opening lead, king Of hearts.
AS a schoolboy I learned that a
straight line was the shortest dis
tance between two points, and it
seems to have had distinct influ-
ence on my bidding habits ever
since. For when there is a direct
way to describe any particular hold
ing, have a tendency to shy away
from exploratory methods. Such
sequences as one spade - three
spades, or one spade - two no.
trump, when they happen to be
suitable, are favored over the more
cumbersome, indirect manner of
approach. I find that the simplest
wav is usually the best.
Sometimes there are occasions
w',cn no direct road to final con-
trsrt is open. In today's hand my
rertner, Margaret Wagar of At
lanta, resorted to a series of bids
which the spectators regarded as
psychic. but which, in point OF fact,
were not intended for deceptive
Purposes at all. Paradoxically, the
one way to tell the truth about
her hand was to speak a series OF
ingenious lies.
d After the opening bid of one club,
1t was clear at least a game con-
tract must be reached, and an ef-
fort must be made to elicit detailed
information OF partners holding,
the better to determine whether
the hand should play at three no
trump, five clubs or slam in clubs.
If South has a mediocre opening
with heart protection. the no-trump
contract will be the logical one.
If South has no heart stopper, then
no-trump cannot be considered,
and a game or slam attempted in
clubs.
Is was Mrs. Wagar's purpose to
determine scientifically whether
South had a heart stopper. To
postpone the decision she made a
temporizing bid of one diamond,
which was duufully raised to two.
From her standpoint. no-trump still
was unsafe, and she decided to make
one more temporizing bid, two
spades. AS new suit by responder,
this constituted one-round force.
1t appeared that an effort was be-
ing made to get South to bid no.
trump, which, of course, now ap-
peared out of the question. He was
torn between raising the spades
and returning to clubs. and de-
cided upon the latter, being unwill-
ing to make any further construc-
tive bids with this more or less
minimum hand.
Mrs. Wagar now jumped to five
clues, the final contract, confident
that the partnership did not pos
sess a heart stopper. BY her ap-
parent falsehoods she had painted
this honest picture of her hand:
Partner, we have clubs. diamonds
and spades, but it appears that we
have no strength in hearts, so we
had better abandon hopes for a
no-trump game"
