TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! o By FRANK COLBY Bell Syndicate.—WNU Features.

WORDS TO WATCH The word “foyer’’ puzzles people. The dictionaries are so pussyfooting about the word that there is not much help in that direction. Foyer is a French loan word. In that language, the literal meaning is, ‘“a fireplace.” The French pronunciation is: fwa-YAY (the first “a’” is flat, approximately as in “Wag"). In American usage, a foyer is a kind of lobby, as of a theater; an anteroom, as of an apartment. American dictionaries list three pronunciations: (1) fwah-YAY, (2) foy-YAY, (3) FOY-er.

Note that the first uses the ‘‘ah” sound in the first syllable, instead of a flat or nearly flat French ‘‘a.” Note that the pronunciation ‘‘foyYAY” is a hybrid, the first syllable being English, and the second being French. Note also that the natural American pronunciation, FOY-er, has only three first choice listings. Here is the consensus: Webster's: First, fwah-YAY; second, foy-YAY; third, FOY-er. » Funk & Wagnalls: First, fwahYAY; second, FOY-er. ‘

New Century: I«;irst, FOY-er; second, fwah-YAY. ¢ Winston’s: First, fwah-YAY; second, FOY-er.

- Macmillan’s: First, fwah-YAY; second, FOY-er. v Thorndike Century: First, FQYer; second, fwah-YAY. Kenyon and Knott’s: Only, FOYer.

Now, then, since foyer is a French word, shouldn’t we give it the French pronunciation, fwaYAY? The answer is: Certainly not, and this is why:

(1) More than 36 per cent of all English words are from the French, but we do not consider them as French, for they date back in English to the Norman conquest. (2) The true French pronunciations are haydly ever preserved in English if they contain sounds that are not heard in- English, i. e., the French nasal vowels, the sound of the French ‘‘u,” the sound of ‘‘ay” for final -er, the sound of ‘“wa’”’ for ‘““oi” and ‘“‘oy,”’ etc. A good case in point is the word employer. The French say: Ah (n)-plwa-YAY. But the English and American eye simply cannot see sm"” as “abh(n),” ‘'ploy’”’ as “plwa,” and ‘‘er’’ as ‘‘yay.” Therefore, we give the word its logical English values: Em-PLOY-er, :

So, if ‘““ployer’’ to use%lils “ployer,” it is ‘entirely proper that “foyer’’ should spell: FOY-er. Indeed, it is the standard American pronunciation. '

Moreover, our usage of the word foyer is strictly English, for what we call the foyer of a theater the French would speak of as a “foyer du public.” : & * & . Santa Barbara: I could hardly believe my eyes when you stated that “speak with’”’ is correct and equivalent to ‘‘converse with.” I wish you would not make such mistakes. My little girl reads your column, and now I've got to explain to her that she must never say ‘‘speak with.””—Mrs. G. D. W. Answer: Hold everything, Mrs. W. tell sister to turn to page 2413, Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition: ‘Speak ‘with: To converse with.” g

You can learn English, French,? Spanish and even Morse code in school, s 0 we won’t bother with such trifles here. But you can rely on this column to keep up with the latest teen talk. As reported by our highly trained soda fountain sleuths, here’s your lesson for today: Good Mixers — That’s you — because you do such-'a job with your own teen talk. Right now you’re combining two words to mean the superlative of both. SHEEN combines SHARP AND KEEN, so it’s twice as strong as either of them. NATCHATIVELY shows you agree perfectly, since it combines NATCH AND POSITIVELY. It's things like this that make life beautiful! Curious Commas — Just see the difference a comma can make in your conversation. You ask, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SODA, JERK? or HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FAUCET, DRIP? and a simple question turns into an insult-with-a-smile. Seng Hit Steff — Your favorite expression is: now DOIN’ WHAT COMES NATURALLY, especially when someone has just pulled a ‘boner. If someone asks you *‘‘How ya doin’?” your answer is NATURALLY. A GYPSY is not only a song we're tired of hearing, but it’s also a girl who gets around. BABALOU as in South America, TAKE IT AWAY is replacing HUBBA HUBBA and OLLEH is replacing HELLO because of the same song (also . because it’'s really HELLO spelled backwards), Well, mix us up and call us cement, if it isn’t all very confuddling. ; %* * .

BIG FOUR TOURNEY Friday and Saturday, January 17 and 18 will mark the opening and closing of the annual big four basketball tournament between the high schools of Ligonier, Wawaka, Cromwell and Wolf Lake. Predictions for one of the most hotly contested tourneys in recent years are flying and the local quintet are calling themselves the dark horse.

Coach Craig is priming his men in an effort to erase the defeat in the Noble County tourney last month. | Games one and two will be held Friday evening January 17 at the high school gym, with the final and consolation game being run off the following evening. : Single admission will be forty cents. There will be no season tickets for this tournament. _.__-—__,o_———.— LIGONIER WINS BOWLING SET A matched game between Ligonier and City Dairy of Goshen ended“in a win for the local team after a seesaw game that saw both teams ahead at various times during the play. The final score was Ligonier 2650, Goshen 2596. On the local team were J. Fisher, R. Rex, M. Moore, M. Ostrander and H. Rex.

The VFW’s, Ligonier’s entry into semi-pro basketball, will be cavorting in fast company Wednesday, January 22, when they meet the famous “Globe Trotters,” sensational colored quintet. In the 17 years of their existence, the Globe Trotters have played to over a million and a half fans, won ninety percent of their games and have come out the victor in nine tournaments.

Noted for their clowning, trick shots, rapid fire passing and clever ball handling, the Trotters boast such stars as Johnny Watts with his record of twenty-two points per game in a lifetime of playing; Earl Pettigrew, from Prairie View Texas College; Billy Scott, Morgan College; Wilbur Carter, Wilburforce; Proctor Kirk and Mickey MeceGrier. : v

To date the colored team shave won twenty-six consecutive games.

The local semi-pro outfit have won four and lost four this season, but are finding themselves and promise to give the visitors a run for their money. e

The VFW’s, managed by Dick Misner, who doubles in brass by joining his team on the court, boast nine former high school luminaries and one outsider. _ In addition to Misner they will play Tex Ritter, Dean Holden, Dick Shell, Kenneth Smith, Edward Rex, Darold McDonald, John Bryan, Don Ritter and Andy Williamson.
