British Names
Tough To Pronounce
Newcomers to England are se
ignorant of the BritOn's coril-
pulsion for understatement that
they often Pronounce the name
Of the Secretary of State. for
Commonwealth Relat 1,0 n s as
Itnclie" Or "Sendeee," It is Per-
fectly obvious to locals that
Duncan Sandys" last name
rhymes with "`glands."
Everyone knows and jokes
about "CllinitleY," which is pro-
nounced that way but is spelled
Oholmondeley. But It is also
spelled Chomeley and Chomley,
There is more than one way
to fool a 'foreigner, Others in the
"Ohumley" category are Wrens-,
fordsley, pronounced "ren-sli,"
and Welothesley, which passes
as "rox-li."
When the Earl of Home was
appointed Foreign Secretary,
even the British newspapers
thought an explanation of his
name was necessary, because it
ip not pronounced like "home"
at all, but like "hume," rhym-
ing with "fume,"
One commentator thought the
origin of "hume" went back to
the Third .Earl of Home. Lead-
ing his troops in the Battle of
Flocldin Field in 1513, he tried
to rally them with the Tamil'
name.
. "Home! Home!" he cried,
All too willing, the story goes,
the warriors dropped their
weapons and headed for home,
Ifencefortle the name was pro-
nounced "hume",
But Holmes is pronounced
"homes."
. Names of French origin are
a challenging lot anywhere' in
the English - speaking world,
but here they get the no-non-
sense treatment one would ex-
pect from an insular people
known for their phlegm and
self-confidence. Beauchamp be-
comes "beeoham," and Beaulieu,
much in the news recently as the
scene of jazz festivals and jazz
riots, is nothing else but "bewli."
And where else would Bouchier
come out "bowcher," as in "vou-
cher," or d'Aguilar become "da.g-
eviller"?
Gillespie, Gilmour and Gilroy
are given the hard "G," as in
"golly," but Gillingham is "ill-
lingarri," as in. "gee." -
There is a tendency here to
tun out of breath on words end-
ing in "ester." Worcester, for ex-
ample, becomes "wooster.6 But
don't count on it. Cirencester can
be heard correctly as "syr-ensise
ter," "sissiter" and "sis-sister."
Leominster, of course, is "lems-
ter," and Bicester is "bister."
The British are inclined to be
casual, too, with names ending
in "borough." Loughborough
slopes off ,into "lufburra," ,and
MarlboroUgh hardly finishes the
course with "mawl-bra,"
Does the stranger think he
has mastered it? Let him con-:
seder Hambro. This time a syl
table is added, and the result
is "ham-boro." 'Hawlsbury is
"hals-bri" and Shrewsbury is
"shro-sberri." In a class '.by it-
self is Beaworthy, or "bow-ri."
A visitor can be forgiven a
few gaffes, and the Briton's
scorn 'will be only moderate if
there is uncertainty with. Ride-
haigh ("rid-oh")" or Colclough
("koke-li"), which are not on
everyone's tongue; anyway. But
lie is held in contempt who re.
fern to Sir Ralph Rieltardson as
anything but "Sir Rahf" or "Sir

A Losing Coach Who
Didn't Get.Fired ,
`The end of the football play-
ing season at our college and
universities frequently marks
the beginning of the football
coach firing season.
In some circles, notably where
excited and loyal alumni gather,
firing a coach because he loses
games is natural• and propel:,
College football is Big Business,
they argue. It is simply a matter
of principle, or getting a fair re-
turn on money invested in a
huge stadium and sturdy half-
backs.
Altogether too often college
presidents yield to the pressures,
and fire away, 'Year after year
excessive emphasis, on victory
leading to the firing of coaches
leaves a greildby smear' of com-
mercialism on the face of higher
education.
, But the first flurry of action.
in this year's cosh tiring P.0804
has taken a Uniquely Satisfying
turn,
Coach Richard Voris has been
at the University of Virginia for.
three years and has lost his last
27 games. His contract has *an-
other year to run. In these cir-
• cumstances it is not surprising to
find Dr. Edgar F. Shannon, pres-
ident of the institution founded
by Thomas Jefferson, under con-
siderable pressure to get rid of
his coach. The pressure, as Dr.
Shannon puts it, comes from "a
group of alumni deeply interest-
ed in the University's athletic
program."
Dr. Shannon continued:
. It is important and pro-
per that our players' as part of
their education here, know that
honor and good conduct are not
only taught but practiced. .
The University of Virginia does
not break its contracts,'' •
Or. Shannon, to his everlast-
ing credit, is concerned with
something more important than
a return on financial investment
or the illusive prestige of a win-
ning season. 'Hit interest is in
principle, and by sticking to it he
is winning for the University of
Virginia, an honor no criticism
can tarnish,--New Fork Herald
Tribune,
A family man is a fellow Who
has replaced the currency in his
wallet with snapshots.
decently possible. Thus it is not
surprising that the next step for
some British men is to let their
sideburns creep clown until they
meet under the chin.
A convincing explanation for
the increasing prevalence of
beard-growing is hard to find,
however. Some suggest the re-
naissance is an ego-boosting tac-
tic on the part of men, They say
it helps them meet the chal-
lenges of the age—particularly
if they have no other distinctive
equipment to throw into .the
fray, writes Henry S. Hayward
in the. Christian Science Monitor,.
Others 'contend it is British
rugged individualism on display
—the inner' urge to be different
from one's fellow-man. I find
this especially hard to believe in
a nation where the men are
noted for their' sartorial conser-
vatism and conformity. But cer-
tain of my British colleagues as-
sure me it now has become
stylish to, be different' and that
gne need no longer shave "to
keep up appearances."
In this country, beards have
been in and out of fashion from
the earliest days, When wigs
came in, face hair went out, and
vice versa. At the time of Wa-
terloo, only military men had
mustaches, and a civilian was
deemed a gay blade indeed if he
let his lip-hair proliferate.
After the Crimean War, how-
ever, the custom 'became more
general at home, and in this cen-
tury King Edward VII and King
George V were magnificently
bearded British monarchs. The
Royal Navy historically has been
a strongh:old of nonshavers. At
sea, a beard may be a matter of
warmth and all-weather conveni-
ence, More recently, World War
LI saw the evolution of the brist-
ly but colorful and popular RAF
mustache. In a surprising num-
ber of cases these outgrowths
survive intact today.
I personally have found it pose
Bible to grow,. but impossible to
retain, whiskers. Once when I.
returned after a lengthy stay in
Korea I boasted a commendable
mustache., But my family booed
and boycotted me until I was
forced to whisk- it off. More 're-
cently, my wife and children
have insisted I ought to have an
electric shaver for Christmas, al-
though I am quite satisfied with
my current brush and blade,
They seem to have a horror of
sanything• growing on my' face.
Especially mutton chops.
It's rather old-fashioned of
them, dont you think?

The villagers of Lower Austria
knew Erich Holzer as a snappy
dresser with a 76-trombone per-
sonality who introduced himself
as "an agent of the provincial
government" and made surveys
of the traffic signs along the
village roads.
Invariably, Herr Holzer would
advise the villagers to buy new
stop signals, go-stow signs, arid
crossing markers. As a result,
Lower Austria has blossomed

Great Book About
Man Against The Sea
Ordeal by Ice by Farley Mowat
(McClelland & Stewart, Pub-
lishers, Tort..nto.)
Man against the sea — that
grim eternal straggle has g9rxn.
ed the background for many of
the greatest tales of adventure
ever told. Nowhere doee the sea
strike with more implacable
fury and nowhere are the forces
of nature armed with more fear-
some weapons than in that chill,
black, fog-shrouded water that
stretches from the coast of
Greenland to James Bay. This is
part of the Arctic Sea. It is here
that man has faced ordeal by
ice.
The whim of fate, the lure of
fame or fortune, the riches of
Cathay and the Indies, the de-
sire to explore the vast un-
known, perhaps just the sheer
love of danger, these are the
compulsions that have drawn a
procession of hardy adventurers
to these forbidding waters. Mere
survival has been the prize. The
dread cold of the Arctic, ship-
wreck, starvation, seurvy, and
death by other forms of vio-
lence, took steady toll. The route
to the North West Passage be-
came well marked with the
bones of men and the skeletons
of ships that sailed and never
returned. But some came back
and it is from their journals that
Farley Mowat has taken these
incredible first-hand accounts of
adventure and heroism, success
and tragedy, sacrifice and sa-
vagery. This is the story of men
against ice.
Read of the voyages of the in-
trepid Martin Frobisher, who
found a fortune in fool's gold;
of Henry Hudson's tragic end in
a bay which bears his name, of
Jens Munk's living nightmare
which lasted a full winter and
which ended with the death of
61 of his 63-man crew; of Cap-
tain, Thomas James, trapped in
the ice and forced to sink his
ship to survive; of James
Knight's unsuccessful attempt to
find that elusive chimera, the
North West Passage; of Captain
William Scoresby and the wha-
lers who again and again braved
the ice so that the ladies of Eng-
land could be properly corseted;
of John Ross, who was held pri-
soner by the ice for four win-
ters; of the mysterious disap-
pearance elf the Franklin Expe-
dition and the horrifying discov-
eries made bit his would-be res-
cuers; and of Charles Hall who
lived as are Eskimo and showed
that white men could survive in
the Arctic.
In this book Farley Mowat
takes us on a vicarious journey
through the full saga of Arctic
exploration from the time of
Pytheas to the present day. His
own colourful narrative links to-
gether what he has termed "the
most heroic first-hand accounts
of Arctic adventure by sea ever
recorded," Mowat has travelled
the Arctic. He knows and loves
the sea and the men who go
down to the sea. He has read
widely in the vast storehouse Of
Arctic literature. Only a mail
with his extraordinary back-
ground could have prepared this
dramatic volume.

How Can I?
by Roberta Lee
•
A recent Punch cartoon, how-
ever, confirms my suspicions
*about the growing prevalence —
or rather; the prevalence of
growing—of hirsute adornment„
It shoWs a social gathering
where all the men in the none
have beards except one. And' to
that one, who is looking very'
glum, a female is 'chirping: "1
#rni.ist say you look very distin-
guished withbut your beard."
Ot take the ease of a fellow
who uses the' pseudonym "Rip
Van Winkle." He claims he grew
a beard during the war "to put
'a more ferocious aspect to my
baby face," and' afterward kept
his bristles in civilian life, Then,
after 20 years of haity-chiened
splendor, he writes, he shaved
off his beard. Alas, "How I re-
gret it," says Rip. Now that his
face has come out of hiding, his
friends pass him on a the street,
arid hie daughters complain he
doesn't look fierce any more.
Ile already has made his New
Year's resolution, he says, it is
"to grow a beard and join the
apes again,"
My own theory is that male
Americans their quest for tidi-
ness like to keep their hair cut
shorter than most Europeans—

Q. How. can I make sure that
always have an adequate
amount of water in the bottom
of my double boiler?
A. Marbles can be used as a
safety alarm. Keep two or three
in the pot all the time, and when
the water gets dangerously low,
the marbles dance up and down
making a racket to warn you
that water is needed. Incidental-
ly, the water in the double boiler
will come to a boil more quickly
by adding'a little salt to it.
Q. How can 1 clean glazed
brick floors?
A. Dust first with a push
broom or dry mop, then wash
with a sponge wrung out of
warm soapy water, rinse and
dry, For a very dirty floor, use
one ounce of sodium hydrosul-
fite dissolved hi one gallon of
warm water,
' Q. What is a good preservative
treatment for patent leather arti-
cles?
A. A cloth dipped in the white
of am egg is good for preserving
patent leather. Finish the job by
polishing with a cloth or cha-
mois.
Q, Holy ean remove rust
stains from a Cloth. rug?
A. Use a not-too-strong solu-
tion of oxalic acid. Apply with
a cloth, while wearing rubber
gloves, and rinse off immediate-
ly with another cloth dipped in
clear water, As soon as the acid
removes the rust, it may start to
remove your rug — so be sure
not to give it a chance!
Q. What is the best Way le
w'a'sh cut' glass?
A, In hot soapsuds. Do not
attempt to dry, but leave it to
