Delegates members yesterday
agreed on seven sources of new
or increased taxes.
In another development, Gov.
Almond said today he has
asked the House Appropria-
tions Committee to put an
other $4.5 million into the
budget bill to provide a 5000
increase in the State teacher
salary scale in the first year
of the biennium and a $3.50
increase in the second year.
This is $50 more each year
than Gov. Almond originally
recommended.
The higher figures were
asked by the State Board of
Education, which has insisted
at hearings before the appro-
priations committee that these
amounts should be provided.
The coalition which met yes
terday drew on tax bills pre-

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: One of the least
pleasant household chores is
the semiannual clean-out of
the family garage. It's ap-'l
palling how much sheer junk
can accumulate in the course
of a few months-and how
bitterly the youngsters protest
my attempts TO get rid of old
sticks, coffee cans and aban-
doned inner tubes. But today's
attempt to straighten things up
was met with a new hazard:
CobwedS. Due to a damp sum-
mer, the spiders had gone wild
and I found them and their
webs everywhere. But at least
I had something to think about
while I failed away with the
broom: where did the word
"cobweb" come from? The
"web" part is easy, but the only
"cobs" I ever heard Of are male
swans and the part Of the corn
that holds the kernels together.
So suppose you tell us where
this common word "cobweb"
comes from.-C. H. M, East
chester, N. Y.
Answer: Originally this word
was "copweb" from the Anglo
Saxon word "coppe" meaning
spider. The change from "p" to
"b" evolved over the centuries,
resulting in the form we use
now: cobweb. Maybe it's some
consolation. as you sweep the
last of the webs from the raft
ers. to realize that your problem
is at least as old as the earliest
record of the English language
