Take MyWord for 1t
By Fronk Colby

John Tracey of Santa Bar
bara will receive a copy of "The
Practical Handbook of Better
English" for his pet peeve:
There are a great many peo-
pie, I find, who are so anxious
to%talk that they have to fill in
their conversation while catch
ing their breath. Their CONVEX
sation is punctuated with the
absurd sounds 'why-ah, and-ah,
well-ah,' which mean nothing
and are very distracting, instead
of listening to what the person
is trying to say, we are listening
for the next absurd filler-in.
It is true that the "er-ah"
habit is extremely annoying. and
a surprisingly large number of
public speakers. are guilty. Nov
I. uh let me see er-uh
>. I believe :. uh . the most
sensible i. uh solution to
our uh :. problem would
be uh
The "er-ing" and uh-ing" do
not occur when one reads his
speech or delivers a memorized
address. 1t is the impromptu
speaker who must pause in order
to think of what to say next.
The fault lies with his inability
to think fast on his feet. This
linguistic camouflage does not
cover up for him; indeed it en-
phasizes his woeful unprepared-
ness and his slow mental
processes.
If you are inclined to "uh"
your way along. even in CONVEX
sation. resolve this day to sin
no more.
Keep in mind these two
"don't"::
/. Don't begin to speak until
you know exactly what you want
to say: then say it and stop.
Q. Don't attempt to speak of
one thing when your mind is on
another. Keep your mind at all
times on what you are talking
about.

sending beef to market. They
ate what meat they needed and
let the rest go to waste. Their
chief interest was in selling the
hides and tallow. The hides were
used as money and passed around
for a common value of 50 per
hide.
Ice was almost impossible for
the ranchers to obtain to pre-
serve the meat. There came a
change when roads were i'm
proved and herds of cattle could
be driven to distant markets and
sold "on the hoot."

A better way is simply to be
alert to the possibility of such
plays and to reason each one
out as it comes up.
Mr.. Abel failed to do the neceS-
sary reasoning in today'S deal
end lost his contract. I like his
four heart bid on the second
round. It was unlikely that Mr..
Dale had a singleton heart. Give |
him any tow hearts and there |
was pretty fair chance that the
heart losers could be limited to |
two. And there weren't many
losers in the side suits.
Too bad the play wasn't as
good as the bidding. Mrs. Keen |
led the jack of diamonds and Mr..
Abel won with the king. He !
played the 10 of hearts in an |
effort, as he said later, to "get |
a cover"
When Mrs. Keen played the |
Jack, he went up with the king
In. dummy and saw it smothered |
with the ace. With the queen
eight over the nine-Seven, Mrs. |
Keen now had two additional
trump winners and these, with
the ace of clubs, defeated the
contract.
Mr.. Abel should have reasoned |
as follows:
On the bidding, it was clear
that Mr.. Champion had strong
hand. Therefore, the odds were |
overwhelming that he held the
ace of hearts, Now. if he had
all four outstanding hearts or
iflhe had A Q ] alone, the con-
tract was hopeless and no play
would make any difference.
If he held the ace and any one
other hearet, again it would make
no difference how Mr.. Abel
played. All even SO far.
But what if he held the ace |
alone? In that case it was vital !
for Mr.. Abel to retain his king
in dummy. The best play, then,
was to lead a low heart at trick
two and play the deuce from the
board. AS you see, this would
have held the heart losers to
two and made the bid. /

Realizing he mistakes made
two years ago by the State Legis-

of an Ohio Sesquicentennial build
ing on the State Fair Gorunds,
Elton Kile, our Representative
from Madison County recently
introduced bill before the House
which would appropriate 100000
for such a structure.
The people residing Throughout
Ohio are today growing more and
more sesquicentennial minded and
plans are being made to make the
sesqui. display at the next State
Fair one which will be publicized
in every State in the Union. 1t
is quite certain that all records
in attendance will again be
broken at this years State Fair
and Ohio people will want to
make good showing in the ses-
ouicentennial department. This
they can never do unless build
ing is provided for this purpose.
Mr.. Kile says it is not too late
and it is quite possible that such
a building will be erected, with
the construction work beginning
just as soon as the House gives

Later the bail was reduced to

The four men are also under

Ernest Gilbert was brought to

and acquitted on the charge of
stealing sheep, and the other
cases were not brought to trial.
However, a new prosecuting at

November election, in the person
of Lloyd Kearns, who has re-

bringing the accused men to trial.
The prosecutor believes he has
sufficient evidence now to prose-

we held the tax off the books"
In Ross County the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad has filed suit
for an injunction to prevent col
lection of the Conservancy District
tax levies The action was filed
in Common Pleas Court there.
The Railroad asks that the coun-
ty auditor be prevented from plac-
ing the 3 mill real estate tax and
the Is mill tax on public utilities
on the duplicates of the county.
1t also seeks to prevent the county
treasurer from paying funds col
lected to the district.
The suit contends that the levies
are contrary to law and exceed
the benefits, if any. They also con-
tend that the district has no au-
thority as of Aug. 5, 1852 to order

second preliminary tax. The first
levy was made in 1947.
The Pennsylvania Railroad ask
ed Franklin County Common Pleas
Court Monday to stop collection
of all taxes imposed by the Con-
servancy District.
The railroad contended taxes
collected by the independent gov
ernmental unit would not benefit
citizens. The petition argued that
funds from the levies would be
used to make changes in the dis
trict although no changes have
been approved by the Conservancy
Court.
The court is a 17-member gov
erning unit consisting of common
pleas judges from each of the
counties in the district.
