WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
Ry WILLIAM MORRIS

QUESTION: 1t has always
seemed to me that there ought
to be some connection between
the words gourmet" and "gour-
mand" and the French word
"gout," meaning TASTE" I con-
fess ! have been able TO prove
my contention. but / wonder if
you cannot shed some light.
Charles Rice, Yorktown Heights
N. Y.
ANSWER: This is indeed an
ingenious theory and one which,
on the face Of it. would seem to
have much logic on its side. Be-
sides the obvious similarity in
spelling. there certainly is a close
affinity between taste" and the
gourmet.
Unfortunately, there seems to
be no evidence in support of
your theory-and a good deal
against it. "Gout" properly
spelled with a circumflex accent
over the "u''-comes from the
Latin word "gustus," meaning
taste" Gourmet, on the other
hand, originally merely indicated
a servant--a groom, in fact,
Gradually it comes to mean a
particular kind of servant-the
custodian of the wine cellar
and, in time. to designate a judge
of fine food and drink.
"Gourmand"-in its original
French use--meant a glutton. a
person who eats too much and
too indiscriminately. Even today
the word retains something OF
this meaning, for while a gour-
mand may be a judge Of fine
foods, he is usually inclined to
indulge more heavily than the
true gourmet.
So, incredible as it seems
there is actually a closer con-
nection between the stable boy
of Medieval England and today's
gourmet than there is between
the gourmet and good taste-ol
govt.
QUESTION: On a recent Tv
show a character observed that
he thought he would "go out ano

one would actually invite such

angry mob. Can you clear this

Opening lead: King of clubs.
Mr.. Masters play of the hand
was good lesson in planning
and timing. The king Of clubs
was opened and he won with
dummy's ace. He saw that he had
six spade tricks and three side
aces. 1t appeared that the best
chance for the tenth trick was to
try to establish one Of dummy's
long diamonds for a heart dis
card.
If the opposing diamonds were
divided 3-3. this could be accom-
plished easily by leading the ace
and another diamond. The
second diamond would be a loser,
but on regaining the lead Mr..
Masters could go to the board
with the queen of spades, lead
another diamond and ruff it..
That would clear the suit. Then
he could re-enter dummy on a
third round of spades via the
king of that suit and park the
Jack and four of hearts on the
two good diamonds. He would
make f1ve-odd.
But Mr.. Masters Is not one
TO try for five until he has done
everything he can to make sure
of four. This is one Of the reasons
he wins most of the time.
He did not foolishly count on
q 3-3 diamond break. He con-
sidered 4-2 split more likely
and he played the hand to take
care Of that distribution. Since
he had one diamond to lose in
any case. his play at trick two
was a small diamond from dunn
my. The effect of this was to give
him an extra entry to the board.
Mrs. Keen won with the ten Of
diamonds and returned a club.
Mr.. Abel won this and led the

MIA Seeking 200 New Telephone Users

The initiation of membership drive in November for the Ma tanuska Telephone Association was the subject of brief talk given by Max Clements, MTA manager at the October 2 meet ing of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce.
 Clements explained that the. association plans to point out to prospective members the proven savings that are enjoyed by per sons who have telephone ser vice. He estimated that there is a potential of about 200 users in the area who do not yet have telephone service, and asked the support of Chamber members in acquainting business associates and friends with the convenience of having telephone service.
 A new REA loan has been ap- piled for by the association which will provide funds for ex- tending telephone service to this potential. He stated a maximum of eight users per line Con this type party 1ine) has been set and that additional telephones in an area where the eight-party line is now full will require the in stallation of new lines, for which the association is preparing.
 Clements pointed out that the membership fee of $10 is requir- ed at the time of signing up for service. The $40 equity payment may be made at the same time or it may be paid in miscellaneous on a monthly billing system. Ar arrangements for these install 1nent payments may be made at the business office in Palmer. In the case of a telephone user leav- ing the MTA area the equity costs are refundable after 30 days, pro- viding there is no outstanding telephone bill.
 The MTA system is a very good system, Clements stated. It is well laid out and generally speaking operating very well. The Speed-up in long distance service was also cited. Clements requested that any difficulties experienced by users be report ed sto the business office as soon as possible. Because all exchang- es are unattended it is not pos sible For the MTA personnel to immediately discover trouble on any line unless it is reported b, the telephone user.

COMING TAX SALE CREATING INTEREST

Considerable interest is being shown in the forthcoming tax sale, with numerous questions being put to the assessor. One common misconception, he said, is a belief that person may pay the delinquent taxes, plus costs, before the sale and acquire a certificate of sale.
 No one may acquire the cer- tificate of sale except at the auc- tion, or after the auction if the property is not bid for at or above the starting price, Will liam Wakeland, tax assessor-col- lector said this week. In the lat- ter case he explained, the tax ing corporation will issue a cer- tificate 30 days after the sale to anyone paying the taxes and costs, unless the corporation de- cides to keep the parcel.
 The status of other liens on the property, and the statuS or Hn- provements erected on property sold for taxes, IS covered briefly in another news item in this weeks issue of The Frontiers man.
 The assessor advises anyone with questions of a legal nature to consult his attorney, and rel minds potential buyers that the assessor is not responsible for the title. The status of the title may De checked by the buyer or his agent at the U. S. Commis- sioner's office he pointed out.
 The City of Palmer tax sale will be held October 22, with the School District sale set for the following day. Both sales will be held at the Palmer city hall.

oB TABLE FUND
 NOW OVER S700

Mrs. Frank Clark president of the Valley Hospital Auxiliary. reported this week that two ad- ditional contributions have been made toward the purchase of a new table for the hospital, bring ing total donations to date to. $7O715.
 Two local church groups made contributions of $50 each. They are the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Ladies Aid of St. Johns Lutheran Church.
 Mrs. Clark expressed the Aux iliary's appreciation for the re- sponse being shown by valley groups and individuals. She said that a sales representative is expected in Palmer sometime this month and that the cost of the table to be used in the ob- stetrics room at the valley hos pital, will be determined at that time. She said they expect 1t will run between $1200 and $500. Persons wishing to make cOntri- buttons are requested to send them to the Auxiliary, earmark- ed for the special table fund.

Newspaper Boys Are
 Guests al Chamber

"Newspaperboys are an i'm portant element in society, said William T. Zahradnicek, school superintendent and guest speak CT at the October 2 meeting of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce. National News paperboy Day will be celebrated on October 5 throughout the States and Territories. Special guests at the Chamber meeting were Theron Compton, Don Payne, and Jimmy Anderson, de- livery boys for The Frontiers man. Billy Pippel, also invited, was unable to attend.
 Zahradnicek pointed out some of the problems the young busi- nessmen" confront. Adverse wea- ther, late deliveries from the cir culation department, unfrlendly dogs, and bad accounts.
 The newspaper is our modern history book, the speaker said. Through the news of the day we are able to keep up with happen ings from day to day. These boys bring Us this news. If we don't have our papers to read we don't feel that our day is completed, he pointed out. He paid tribute to the boys who make it possible to have the newspapers delivered to the homes and who many times are blamed for conditions far beyond their control. ''The small amount of money we pay these boys to save running to the stores for a paper is small comPensa- ton for their leg work, and tribu- lations" he added.
 Tn speaking directly to the bows. he said he was happy they we're able to attend the Cham Der meeting and again pointed out that they are themselves business men and expressed a hope that in time to come he hoped they would affiliate with the Chamber of Commerce as they take their place in the adult business world.

Valley Grain Reported of
 Good Qualify

Valley grain is of good quality, reported the Experiment Station this week.
 This conclusion is based on a chemical analysis of some 1000 bushels of grain received by the new MVFCA elevator in Septem- Der. Because this is the first time in history that a large volume of grain has been available in Alas ka, the Experiment Station has sampled all lots to determine their moisture and protein con- tent.
 Most of this grain was harvest ed with combines, another first" in the history of the Matanuska Valley. Seven combines are now operating in the Palmer area.
 Moisture content of samples taken when the grain was dump ed at the elevator ranged from low of nine per cent to high of 31 per cent. While some of the grain was inherently damp, other moisture was present sur ficially and also in the form of second growth due to delayed germination or early shatter. De- layed germination is attributed to the exceptionally dry spring. This trouble can be partially all leviated by better seed bed pre- paration, Station personnel stat ed.
 Protein content of barley rang ed from a low of nine percent to over F percent The average bulk content is about 9.5 per cent. Oats so far received have contained from 92 per cent to 10.5 percent protein. The aver age is about 10 per cent. Experi- mental work has indicated that an average of II per cent can be expected under good manage ment practices. Protein content of Stateside oats and barley is usually between eight and nine per cent.
 Supplemented with cottonseed, linseed or soybean meal, Valley grain will make excellent live stock feed, it was stated. Grain growing will now provide an- other cash crop for Matanuska Valley farmers. There is an esti- mated market for about $500, 900 worth of grain in Alaska's dairy and livestock industry.
