CHAPEL HILL
CHAFF
By Louis Graves

Thomas Bowdler, an En-
glish physician, published in
1918 an expurgated edition
of Shakespeare, stating that
his purpose was to "omit all
offensive words and express
sions." Now he belongs to
the select company whose
names have acquired a spe-
cial meaning and have drop
ped their capital letters to
be absorbed into the Ian
guage as common nouns or
verbs; for example, boycott,
quisling, maverick, and bum
combe. In the case of Bowd-
Ter the name has been made
into a verb, and bowdlerize
(Which is always used as a
term of ridicule) is defined
in the dictionary as ito ex-
purgate by omitting or mod
i0ing parts considered in
delicate; to paraphrase OBJ
jectionable expressions with
unobjectionable."
A couple of weeks ago |
looked up in the Dictionary
of Quotations a rhyme about
King Solomon and King
David that I thought apro-
pos of the declaration, Il
used to dance myself" made
by some of the preachers at
the Baptist State convention
who voted against dancing
at the Baptist colleges. When
/ read the rhyme aloud to
my wife she said, That's not
the way l heard it," 1t was
mt the way I'd heard it,
either. | am now wondering ::
Was the original bowdler-
lied by the Dictionary of
Quotations, or was the form
presented there the original
that was to be later spiced
by volunteer revisions the
way the soldiers used to
spice the stanzas Of Made
moiselle of Armentieres ?"

Rezoningg Requests

INTO the matter of closing the

to the Aldermen's attention from

ne roadway be used only by
pedestrians. Town Attorney John
Q. LeGrand explained that this
action can be taken if the pro-
perty owners have no objection.
If they do, he noted, then the
town will have to see what legal
rights it has to close the road
to vehicles. 49,.
Mr.. Rose also was told to pro-
ceed with plans to construct n
five foot sidewalk on the east
