WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: What do you think
Of contact" used as q verb2
For instance, "I'll have to con-
tact Mr.. Big in order to be
successful saleswise."
Answer: Frankly, I don't like
it and avoid using 1t myself
However, 1t has certainly be-
come part Of the accepted Ian
guage Of business and 1t prob
ably serves q useful purpose In
that it avoids more wordy
phrases like get in touch with"
or "go to see."
When contact" first APP
peared as a verb, some 20 OF
80 years ago, connoisseurs Of
language were Mortified by 1t
That most urbane of lecturers
and writer's, John Mason Brown
once remarked, when told Il
contact someone, Shall ]
office him or sidewalk him?'
but the usage has outlived the
scorn Of purists and now con.
tact" is fully accepted as q col.
loquial verb. Remember. though
that "colloquial" means that
it's acceptable for conversation
and informal writing but no
for formal papers or speeches
Question: Which is correc'
asian flu" or "Asiatic flu2"
Answer: Both. When the new
form Of influenza first swept
the country a few years ago
1t was called "Asiatic flu" Ther
1t was pointed out that Asian
prefer to be called that
"Asians" - rather than "Asi
atics," a term many Of then
regarded as derogatory. So thu
official medical terminolog!
was changed to "Asian flu,
though / think you will still
hear the original version q
least as often.
Question: On the radio to
night a disc jockey said tina
he was going to "seg-way" +,

Answer: "Segue," pronounced
"seg-way," Is q musicians term

Opening lead: Ten Of hearts.
"You are In an optimistic
contract - three no-trump,"
Miles continues, land to make
matters worse, West kills the
only sure entry to dummy by
leading q heart.
"You overtake the king and
lead q low diamond. West
play the nine. What should
you play from dummy"
Put yourself in East's place
to work out the answer. What
would you do If you were East
with AK of diamonds?
Must Refuse Trick
In this situation East must
refuse the first diamond trick.
You would do 1t, and you must
assume that any East player
in his right mind viii exercise
the same restraint.
You need dummy's diamonds
to make your game contract,
and you can run the diamonds
only II East takes the first dia-
mond trick. II East is sure to
refuse the first diamond with
AK Of diamonds, your only
hope Is that East holds the
singleton ace of diamonds.
Having come to this conclu-
sion, you must see that If East
has the singleton ace, West
must have the Clio Of dia-
monds left after he has fol-
lowed to the first round Of dia-
monds. You cannot run the
entire diamond suit II you fl
nesse with dummy's jack Of
diamonds on the first diamond
trick.
You must duck completely on
the first round Of diamonds. If
you are In luck, East must
take the trick anyway with his
singleton ace. Later you can
lead your other diamond to win
q finesse with dummy's jack;
and then the rest Of dummy's
diamonds win come in to give
you the contract.
Daily Question
! AS dealer, you hold:
AQJss V64s2 oA%QJs2
What do you say:
Answer: Pass. You have 10
points in high cards and two
points for the singleton, but
you should not seriously con-
slider an opening bid with one
ace and no kings. -

WHY GROW OLD?
Age Worry Most
Donooging Disease

er it a disease and a very
damaging one. It's catch
ing" too. In fact, it is very
contagious, You can get it
from your friends.
This illness is spread by
word of mouth with such
saying as I'VE are not as
young as we used to be-"
We'll, what can you expect
at OUR age?" I am too old
to learn new tricks" Re
member the good old days"
and many, many more,
No Smiles Here
Goodness only knows what
feeling like this does to the
glands Did you ever see any,
one smile when they said
such things? I never did.
The mouth just naturally
droops and the entire per-
sonality is apt to become
apologize.
I do not know why women
are so determined to think
themselves into aging. They
are their own worst enemies.
I honestly believe that those
who think in terms of years
rather than in terms of life,
age more rapidly than others,
physically, emotionally and
mentally.
Always Young
There are individuals who
are so "un-age conscious"
that we never think of their
age at all. 1t never occurs
to our mind to do so be-
cause it doesn't to theirs.
They are eternally youthful
in spirit and outlook and fit
in with any age group.
If you have fallen into the
bad habit of aging your
self, let me quote Emerson:
1--WE do not count a mans
years until he has nothing
else to count" So long as
we have something to give,
so long as we are fun to be
with, so long as we bring
warmth and understanding
to friendship, so long as we
are really on fire with life,
nobody thinks of our age.
