Question: Could you please
give me the origin Of the slang
term "hunky-dory," meaning in
good form or condition?
One Of the fellows where I
work claims the origin is as
follows: In Shanghai, China,
there is or was a short street
named "Hunka-Dora" which
led directly to the docks. Sailors
returning from shore leave
would search for Hunka-Dora
street. AS soon as they found
it, they knew they could find
their ships and everything was
under control; hence, "hunky-
dory." - Walter G. Krensch,
Barstow, Calf.
Answer: You have the right
street but the wrong city. Ac-
cording to the best evidence
for your friends story, the city
was Yokohama, Japan, whose
principal street was perhaps
still isl Huncho-dori street.
Obviously a sailor on shore
leave would feel that every
thing was OK Gin go" con-
.dition, to use the latest express
~ton) when he was on the main
street.
& But that's not the only story
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-26

of the origin Of this long-lived
slang expression. The late
Charles Earle Funk had a
theory that it was as old as
the Dutch settlement of New
Amsterdam. This engaging no.
ton was based on his discovery
that hunk" was close to the
Dutch word "honk" for goal"
When one reached the goal,
one was in OK condition.
Just how "dory" got into the
expression is not clear. What
we do know is that Christy's
MinStrels, a troup you might
call the Lawrence Welk band
Of the mid-19th century, pop
ularized a bit of corn called
"JoSiphus Orange Blossom. 4"
The lyric contained a line about
red hot hunky dori contra
band" The song was a hit and
"hunky- dory" became part of
the language.
This was during the Civil

War. Since Japan was not
opened to foreign ships until
Commodore Perry's visit in
1854, 1t seems somewhat doubt
full that the Yokohama theory
will hold water. More likely,
"hunky-dory" was already a
slang term when American
sailors first had shore leave on
Huncho-dori street.

It's one Of the most frequent complaints

half the patients of doctor in general
practice suffer from headache.
Sure, you've had them, too; and if

behind them. That's for your doctor to
tell you. 1t could be your eyes, ears,
sinuses, nose or teeth. Ofis it constipa-

Actually. the most frequent cause of
headache is tension. The kind of tension

by the football injury.
The occurrence Of a number
Of brain injuries last season was
incorrectly blamed on the rigid.

tunately, there were comparative
figures available TO dispel this error:
a study Of high-schOol football in
the Midwest in 1913, when only
about 20 per cent Of the players
wore plastic helmets, showed that
10 per cent Of reported injuries
were of the head and neck. In
1861, when all the players wore
plastic helmets, only about four
per cent Of injuries were to the
head and neck.
Statistics back equipment
Similarly, face masks are being
blamed, and also incorrectly. In
1854, before masks were used in
high-school football, conclusions
occurred at the rate of three per
thousand players in Wisconsin.
In 1860, when face masks were
mandatory, conclusions occurred
at the rate Of only two per thou.

nine per thousand to only two per
thousand, and dental injuries from
y to IL per thousand. There was
no significant change in the mum.

This is not to say that the foot
ball helmet and face mask cannot
be improved. At a recent confer.

AL AMERICA was grieved by the
81 fatalities among football players
last year = the greatest number
in Is years. But the saddest fact
is that some Of the deaths could
and should have been prevented.
Here's one shocking example:
two boys, one a high-schOOl play
er, the other semi-prOfessional,
died suddenly after football games.
POst-mOrten examinations revealed
bOth re suffering from seUeTe cases
Of acute rheumatic heart disease.
Careful medical screening Of
all team candidates before the
season starts should eliminate any.
one with active rheumatic heart
disease. Further, real medical su-
pervisiOn during the season would
certainly detect an acute illness
so severe that additional over.
exertion would cause death.
Proper screening means more
than a hurried examination by a
physician charged with the sole re.
spOnsibility for checking 90 candi-
dates for the football squad on a
hot day in late August or early Sep
tember. This is the place where
injury prevention should begin.
Medical record important
A good examination must in
ciude a complete history Of the
athletes previous health and in.
juries. 1t is probably most efficient
for the boy and his parent to fill
out a check list beforehand, to
provide the maximum Of informa-
ton for the doctor.
Further, a physical examina-
ton Of a football player which
doesn't include a check of the
thigh muscles, knees, ankles and
feet may fail to reveal weaknesses
due TO previous injuries.

nation. Most appear to be
perfectly satisfied that the
riots were caused by trigger
happy U. S. marshals" as des-
cribed by Governor Ross Bar
nett on television and the en-
tire episode was caused by
the "power-mad Kennedys''
and the "Communist-inspired
U. S. Supreme Court and
Federal government. (Ala-
bama's Governor-elect George
Wallace just treasured us on
our right position.")
Some persons at the Uni
versity have attempted to
speak out and tell the people
of the state what really hap
pened = but they have rarely
drawn anything but hostility
and criticism for their efforts.
Few people seem to want the
truth. They appear to have
their minds made up and
don't want to be confused
with the facts.
However, the day of reck-
oning must come when the
whole truth is told - so that
all will know. Responsibility
must and should be placed
where it belongs.
During the weekend at Ole
Miss we talked with mature
men and women who wit
messed the riot and events
that led up to it. We received
a detailed eyewitness ac-
count of what happened i'm
mediately before the firing of
tear gas by U. S. Marshals, in
Guiding the length of lead
pipe thrown at the marshals
and the glass bottle which
shattered at the feet of Chief
Marshal James T. McShane
when he gave the warning
signal to fire the gas.
When the true story of the
marshals' conduct that night
is told there are going to be
many embarrassed persons in
high places in Mississippi.
In the meantime the people
of Mississippi will continue
to be brainwashed and hood
winked by what has well
been called the "giant hoax,
The big lie."
