. WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Green Bay. Wis: Twill you
please discuss the pronuncia-
ton Of aqua meaning the light
green color. Locally, everyone
including decorators and sales
clerks pronounce 1t AWK-wuh,
and it sounds as If they are
gagging. Should it not be AK
wuh, as in aquaplane and aqua
tint? Betty Furness and Bar
bara Britton pronounce it AK
wuh and 1t sounds correct and
unaffected" Mrs. G. M. Nc
Ginnis.
Answer: Right you are.
Aqua" when used as the name
Of a color. is merely a shortened
form of "aquamarine" and
means, in the words Of Webster.
q color, green-blue in hue, of
low saturation and medium
brilliance." Since aquamarine
is pronounced ak-wuh-muh-
REEN. it logically follows that
the proper pronunciation Of the
abbreviated form would be AK
wuh. The only exception would
be the predominately British
pronunciation AY-kwuh. I sus-
pect that your decorator friends
have fallen victim to q mis-
takenly elegant" and artificial
pronunciation.
Washington. D. c.: What is
the correct pronunciation of
SEATO, the abbreviation for
Southeast Asia Treaty Organi-
zation?
Answer: When the word was
first coined, an effort was made
to popularize the pronunciation
see-AT-oh. which was thought
to emphasize the components
better. However, the analogy to

To use the extinguisher effectively.
it must operate as soon as you have

suggestions. sMemorize the phone
number of the nearest fire company.
Be sure this number is written in
big numbers right next to the
phone.
Maybe the taafrcnen may not know
exactly how TO reach your farm
Why not write out a set of direc-

of emergency If you can read the
directions of how to reach your
farm. you won't have to worry about

If you're not sure about the
