Question: On a recent radio
program a hair stylist was
being interviewed about the
coming seasons shorter hair
dos. 'Shingle' is one word
I'd like to see obviated from
the dictionary" she said. Later
she remarked that Antoine is
king of the kwah-FYOOR. I"
Did she use "obviate" correctly
and is that pronunciation right
for "coiffure. IL. C. p, Mil
waukee, Wis.
Answer: Your "stylist" would
have been on safer ground If
she had used the simpler word
eliminate" instead of "ob-
viate." It's true that "obviate"
means to "do away with"-but
it carries the special meaning
Of doing away with something
In advance by taking anticipa-
tory measures. Thus a woman
could obviate the need for
scrubbing laundry by buying
a washing machine. But you
can't "obviate" from the die
tionary a word like "shingle'
when it is already entered
there.
AS to the pronunciation
kwah-FYOOR for "coiffure'
(Style of wearing the hair)
this seems to be the standard
American version. It is not
Of course, the correct French
pronunciation but that depends

far as the American-born
speaker is concerned.
So, though kwah-FYOOR is
certainly a barbaric broadening
of the French original, I'm
afraid We'll have to grin and
bear it-just as men tradition
ally have suffered with the
hair-do's our wives and
sweethearts indulge in under
the fashionable guise of "coif-
fure."

Pre-SchoOl Tots
Top Polio Target

Pre-school children are still
the greatest sufferers from par
alytic polio, according to figures
recently released by the United
States Public Health Service.
The Services figures for 1859
show that 43.3%-more than
two out of five-of the victims
of the paralytic form of the dis
lease were four years of age or
less. ~
In a separate statement is
sued last week, DR.. John D.
Porterfeld. acting surgeon gen.
eral of the Public Health Ser
vice, estimated that 49% of the
national population has had no
polio vaccine. 1t is among these
49% that paralytic polio will
take its heaviest toll this sum-
Imer, he warned.
The Public Health Service re-
ports tie in closely with the
warnings of sponsors of Local
free polio clinics that pre-school
children must be inoculated
against the disease. The Medical
Society of Delaware, the State
Board of Health, and the Della
ware Chapters of the National
Foundation point out that this
group is most vulnerable tc
polio, and thorough inoculatior
+ must precede the in-school pro
