A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY
@ Is there such an animal a.

@ Is there such an animal as
"camelopard"?
A. The name is from the Greek
camelopardalis. meaning liter
ally "camel-leopard.' hence the
giraffe, from its carnel-like build
and its leopard-like spots. Years
ago the giraffe was quite COM
monty called camelopard. pro-
nounced: kuh-MELL-o-pahrd
incidentally pard is an archaic
word for tiger. panther, The
leopard got its name from leo,
lion plus pard. panther"
@. Why do we say that some
thing is "spick and span?
A It's short for spick and
Span-neW, 80 new as to be neat
and clean as a new chip"
The expression entered Eng
fish from the Old Morse spik, "a
piece split off: a spike and
Span-nyre. "a new chip" hence
as new. clean. and bright as a
new nail and new chip of
wood.
@. When we drink to q per-
sons health, why do we call it
a toast?
A. In medieval days it was the
custom to place a piece of toast
in a glass or cup of liquor. When
the liquor was drunk the sop of
toast was eaten as a delicacy.
The late w. w. Skeat,
etymologlst and professor of
Anglo-Saxon at the University
of Cambridge. traces the term
Ito drink toast" to a story
which appeared in the London
Taller, No. "a. June 4, 1909:
Once. during the reign of
Charles II 1660-1695), a young
woman. celebrated for her
beauty of form and face, was
bathing in the Cross Bath. One
of her gallant suitors dipped a
goblet into the water and drank
her health before the fashion,
able assembly.
Another Of her admirers re-
marked wittily: Il care not much
for the liquor; but fain would
l enjoy the toast"

INTEGRATIoN GUIDE LINES

Many opinions have been expressed on whether
President Eisenhower should should not have taken
more definite stand the Supreme Courts decision de-
claring segregation in public schools illegal
Now comes Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownel, Jr. one of
the highest legal authorities in the United States who
says: .a
president Eisenhower and the Federal government
will provide the guide line towards ending racial segre
cation in public schools but the first action must be taken
by the states and local communities The primary respon
sby for enforcing the courts rests with the states
and local communities
Perhaps the states know this. Anyhow some of them
including our own Florida have passed laws to prevent
or hinder the progress of racial Indignation in our schools
In such cases just how will these guide lines work?

Sis Boom Bah
 Acted Out By City Council

A two weeks long fuse, lit by c. A. Muldoon of the Barbecue at 17th and Cushman. sizzled to its end this week.
 The firecracker exploded at Mon- day nights council meeting.
 For the third consecutive week. an attempt was made to transfer a liquor license from Thomas D. AL len, proprietor of the Buffalo sa- loon, now operating his establish ment outside the city. to bar with in the city limits.
 For the third consecutive week. the council said no.
 Muldoon, who has tried twice to obtain the license. was represented at the Monday session by attorney Warren Taylor. Tt doesn't allow any more licenses in town" Taylor argued. "Muldoon is an old time Fairbanksan who has been in busi- ness here for many years. He has already spent $6.000 fixing up his place He added that Muldoon didn't went to spend any more if the council wasn't going to grant his license.
 The council, led by Ben Potter, stated that both the sanitation and police departments had submitted recommendations against the trans fer.
 Another reason several members gave for refusing the transfer was the unorthodox way in which AL len had handled the situation. Af- ter purchasing city liquor license for $1.000. he moved outside the city. operating there under a $500 Territorial license. He kept his city license in the hope of selling it to some aspiring bar owner in town. This is the first such situation, and the council did not wish to set a bad precedent.
 Is there anyway to vote maybe on this thing2" asked newly inaug- erated councilman. Harvey Ander- son. But the vote, once taken. was final: Anderson, Dr. Paul Haggtand. and George Sullfuan voted for the transfer. Dick 4Greue1 Potter. and Tom Downes against Mayor Doug las Preston broke the tie by voting nay.
 The vote elimaxed violent yer bal wrangle that made the session one of the 1ivliest to be held this sulnnaer.
