WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BEETLE BAILEY
DR.. KILDARE
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: The word Skull
duggery" came up in our
group and, although we all
knew the meaning of the word,
there were several ideas as to
its origin. Does 1t perhaps have
something to do with "skull?"
One of the men mentioned
"scullery" but Of course that is
pretty far-fetched. since it is
spelled with a &C." But letters
do have a way of changing -
Mrs. Marvin Cronks. Hacken-
sack. M.
Answer: Most source books
label this word "origin obscure"
or relate 1t to a now obsolete
slang word, IS skul lduddery."
However, a plausible theory OF
Its origin traces II TO the Scot
tish dialect word "sculdudrie, /"
which has the meaning Of slip
periness and trickery. In pres
ent day use in such express
sions as Il know there's skull
duggery afoot" 49, the meaning
is one Of underhanded, sly and
evil trickery. So the Scottish
origin makes sense.
Question: Which is correct:
THE family is looking at TV"
or "the family are looking at
TV"?-Margaret M. McGovern,
Victorville, Calf.
Answer: The rule for collec-
tive nouns applies here. II the
family is regarded as a unit
the singular verb is used. II II
is considered a collection OF In
dividuals, the plural verb Is
used.

The story of Passover is,
of course, a commemoration
of the Exodus from Egypt.
From year to year, as COM
mentators and historians
discuss and anlyze the dra-
matte tale of how the he
brews left Egypt en- masSe
and became a nation IN the
wilderness, emphasis h a S
been laid on the eternity OF the
Jewish people, the rituallstlc Sc
der and the reading of the Hag-
-gadah.
There are, however, addition
al phiIosOphic thoughts which
are valid in any discourse on
Passover. The noted Jewish phil
OsOpher, Martin Buber, tells "s
that "the Passover was and has
remained a spring festival" And
that cit is still celebrated by
those who have become entirely
IandIess, but no longer have even
a common wilderness to wander
in" He says of Passover that
"since the night of the EXODUS
it has become a history feast,
and indeed the history par ex-
cellence of the world; not a least
of piOus remembrance, but oil the
ever recurrent cOntemporaneous-
ness of that which once befeil.
Every celebrating generation be-
comes united with the first gen
.eration and with all those that
have followed. AS in that night the
families united into the living peo-
nile so on the Passover night the
generations of the people unite TO-
gether, year after year"
Passover is genuinely and truly
a religious holiday because, as Bu-
her observes, "the historical real
'itv of Israel leaving Egypt can
not be grasped if the conception
of the accompanying, presldlng,
guiding God is left out. This is the
sGod of the Fathers with whom
the tribes have now established
contact. He has always been a
Cod who wandered with his own
and showed them the way. But
now He has been revealed to them
afresh through the security OF His
name, as the one who remains
present with His own" But Pass
over has a special fascination for
us not only because of its rellgl-
Gus importance; it also helps us
focus on the image of the greatest
Jew in history, Moses.
The noted Hebrew philosopher
Ahad Ha-Am, in his brilliant es-
say entitled "Moses,' writes that
ION the threshold of Jewish his
tory the figure of Moses, the great
