RUM0R BASIS

ROMOh WI1HOO1 DAOIO
TIL CROUND SWELL developing in opposition to
appointment Of Valdemar H. Hill as Commissioner of Agri-
culture and Labor may be entirely without merit because,
to begin with, there may be no such consideration. Going
on the assumption that where there's smoke there's fire, many
in ST. Croix have raised their voices in opposition.
ST. CROIX, BECAUSE it must depend largely upon
agriculture for its economic future, is deeply concerned
about the men upon whose shoulders responsibility is placed.
Three things can happen. | the situation can become worse;
2 it can remain stagnant, or it could, with vision, magma
ton and fortnight hard work, be improved to the point
this Island could be well on its way to self-sufficiency.
o MUCH IMPORTANCE cannot be placed on the
type of man chosen to head that department, his %quaifica-
lions, his point of view, his motives and detectives, and his
understanding of what is involved.
THE REASON THIS paper did not take the lead. or
followed any expression Of sentiment is because, though
there IS rumor to that effect, the probability Of such an ap-
pointment should seem rather remote. That Mr.. Hill is
qualified in certain fields Of learning and endeavor no one
can deny. He is ambitious, has worked hard to acquire an
education, and is considered one of the best politicians to
come out Of these shores in many a day. But Mr.. Hills quail
fications do not head in the direction Of agriculture, which
under todays standards has become a specialized field de-
manding training in that area.
CERTAINLY, GOVERNOR Gordon, calm, resolute, him
self astute as a politician, and knowing and understanding
human nature as he does, would hesitate to announce such
an appointment, especially when those most Immediately con-
cerned have lost no time in expressing their utter disapproVal.
THAT A CITIZEN of MI. Hills capabilities should be
used to good advantage in or out of government there is no
doubt whatever, and the Government may find it to its adj
vantage to use his talents. But the Governor would show a
somewhat Disappointing lack OF awareness OF the situation

A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

Is it wrong to pronounce route
as "rout"? Is root" the only
proper pronunciation?
To answer these two questions,
which turn up constantly in my
mail, let us consider briefly the
history of the word route.
It began as the Latin rupta,
which came to have these mean
ings: a defeat; a flying mass of
broken and diSorganized troops;
hence. a way broken or cut by
fleeing troops through a forest;
hence, a way travelled.
Rupta entered French with
the spelling changed to route, Z"
and with the meaning "a way
or course travelled in going from
one place to another" The
French pronunciation is: root.
Route entered English with its
spelling and meaning unchanged.
A little later a curious thing
occurred: route again entered
English. dropped the "e". and
turned itself into a noun mean
ing "act Of defeating and break
ing up," and a verb meaning,
Ito break up and put to flight"
Note: In French, route is a
noun only. 1t is never used in
the meanings given the English
word rout. The French verb
meaning ito rout" is deroute,
pronounced: day-ROOT.
The word route In American
usage is pronounced either
