Like the rest of the surrounding
towns, our own Frederick, was
badly hit with the high tides. Sew
eral families had to leave t h e r
homes, when the waters came in
t h e homes. Families gathered
things they would need and left
with relatives to higher ground,
until the water subsided and they
could return to their homes and
begin the clean up. This is a heart
ache to any homemaker. They who
have the misfortune to be among
the unfortunate have our sympathy
in loss of lives, their homes and
the thing they have worked all
their lives for and lost Those in
our town were more fortunate, and
we are thankful

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: How did the ex-
preston "kitty-cornered" orig
mate? Some of my friends call
it "catty-cornered." Which is
correct? Shirley Stano, Cuya-
hoga Falls, Ohio.
Answer: "Kitty-cornered" is
a colloquial variation of cater
cornered," meaning diagonal"
Cater-cornered comes from the
French word "quatre" (four)
and "cornered." 1t has a long
history, appearing in print as
early as 1919, so it probably was
well established in the popular
tongue not long after the Nor
man conquest.
That long history of the word
is the reason why it has so
many dialect variations. The
two you mention are only the
beginning. In various parts of
our country you may hear
"Cattycorner," "Kitterin" and
"Kittering," "kittercorner" and
my own favorite -"Catawam-
pus" or "cattywampous."
There are also a couple of
similar. though not directly re-
lated expressions popular in
folk language to express the
same idea of diagonal" or "di-
agonally." They are "slaunch-
ways" and "skewgee."
| None of these variations is
recommended, of course, for use

Question: When I was in high

Opening lead: King of clubs.
Put yourself in the East seat.
Maybe you can rival the hero
described in Terence Reese's
entertaining "Play Bridge with
Reese"
West leads the king of clubs,
and you follow with the deuce.
He continues with the ace of
clubs, and South drops the
queen.
West switches to the deuce
of spades, and you win with
the king. You return the three
of spades, and South overtakes
the queen with dummy's ace
to try a diamond finesse.
South's queen of diamonds
wins, and he leads out the ace
of trumps. BY his mode of play
you should know that he has
some sort of trump problem.
He cannot be worried about
the king of trumps since he
has not tried a finesse. His
problem must be the queen.
Helpful Play
South burrows his brow and
moves his lips soundlessly. You
know what is going on because
this is the way opponents look
when they are busy counting
the distribution.
Finally South cashes the ace
of diamonds and ruffs a low
diamond in the dummy. This
is where you make your help
full play. You drop the king of
diamonds.
This play cannot cost any
thing, since South can easily
ruff out your king after draw
ing trumps. You can therefore
make this kind of play as
naturally as though you had
started with only three dia-
monds.
This is your real reason for
dropping the king. From the
play of the black suits South
should know that you started
