who today are in need of medicine, shelter, food, clothing and farm crop seeds. Your gift will help to bring new strength and new courage to these who need a helping hand and a new chance at life. Eighteen American and foreign aid agencies have been designated for the distribution of this relief among foreign nations. U 5.0. AND OTHER LOCAL WAR SERVICE Sons and daughters from throughout America make our community their home for a day, an evening or a week-end. Our Service Men’s Centers serve these as also those who are convalescing from nearby hospitals. Thtese centers, the Union Station Canteen and other such organizations will be able to carry on their work as we provide the funds through our gifts to the United War Fund. Marion County people are spending two and one-half million dollars a year for ciga-

rettes; ten million for alcoholic beverages; two and one-half million for jewelry. Surely the work of the agencies listed . above should inspire us to want to give something to the United War and Qpmmunity Fund. Speedway’s interest in recent years in these fund drives has not been as outstanding as it hight have been. Folks say that Speedway has a Community Fund of its own for necessary relief among its citizens, but surely we have an obligation to those organizations and agencies organized for the larger task here at home and abroad. We realize that many make their contributions to the United Fund at their places of employment in Indianapolis, but let us give something through Speedway so that our community’s record will stand alongside of other small communities. If ( a solicitor calls at your door, remember this civic-minded person is giving of his or her time and is receiving absolutely no remuneration, and in addition often makes a generous gift to the campaign.

Take Mq Word For It 1 By FRANK COLBY

I Question Box ♦ Atlanta: l have finally convinced my stenographer that “reoccurrence” is incorrect Can’t you spread the news around?-*-B. E. T. Answer: “Reoccurrence” is not incorrect but it is somewhat redundant The better form is: recurrence. Lynn: Please discuss pronunciation and origin of “debacle.” It is often pronounced "DEB-uh-k’L”— M. Q. Answer: First choice: dee-BAH-k’l. Second choice: dee-BAK-’L The word is from the French. In both French and English, debacle has the curious literal meaning, “the break up of Ice,” as in a river. Savannah: What authority is there for the pronunciation “crick” for the word “creek”?—M. A R. Answer: It’s dialectal. Creek should rhyme with “Greek.” • Oklahoma City: Please, what is the plural of the word “corps”? Is it “corpses”?—J. L. Answer: Sorry, no. “Corpses” is the plural of “corpse." The word corps is both singular and plural. Correct: He joined the Marine Corps. There were several tank corps in the battle.

Detroit: Please distinguish between “sewerage” and “sewage.”— O. G. T. Answer: Sewerage is the act of or system for disposing of waste matter. Sewage is the waste matter carried off by the sewerage system. Beaumont: Your recent article, "Oh, Those Adverbs!” reminds me that it can happen in the best of families. Even Browning wrote: "And yonder soft phial, the exquisite blue, tre to taste sweetly—is that poison too?” Answer: It’s poisonous English. The rule is: After look, sound, taste, smell, feel, use an adjective. Correct:, Sure to taste sweet. Don’t feel bad about it It sounds loud. It smells good. She looks ill. Bell Syndicate.—WNU Features. Only six months to live. That is what the doctors told Jane Addams when she graduated from college. If a doctor told you that, what would you do? Most of us would simply sit down and die. Not so Jane Addams. "If I have only six months to live,” she said, *TII use those six months to do just as much as I can of the thing I Want most to do for humanity.” And she so lost herself in the work that she forgot to die. Eight years after the time predicted for her doomsday, she started Hull House, the Chicago settlement that is known the world over. WARS ARE WON BY MEN WHO MARCH THAT ONE EXTRA MILE ... and shoot that one extra bullet.
