The Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-04-18, Page 18• ]3i11 Smiley Part of me is mid -.Atlantic When you travel close to 10,000 and-Meetmiles about 500 total *Mir;WA in five days, not only he baidy`but also the mind begins to geta big scrambled. #m three days home front a crash, tripe to Germany. My body feels, like an old rubber boot. My !Old is like ' an Irish stew with very little meat in it. I'm not sure *hat day of the week it is, what time of day it is, or what my first • name is. Among us members of the jet set, this condition is known as "jet lag". In plain terms, it is total exhaustion. Normally, I find it fairly trau- matic just to change from Standard to Daylight Saving time. It invariably throws me out of gear for a couple of days. But when yqu go through a time change of six hours, and then do it backwards within,a few days, the human system can barely cope. I feel as though my soul, or some other piece of essential equipment, is still back in Ger- many, or at least in mid-Atlantic, trying desperately to catch up with the bag of bones which is its Crossroads Classifieds For Sale ELECTROHOME STEREO and television sets, stock on hand being offered at discount prices this week at the Godfrey E.

Just to complete the weird feel- ing of alienation, the weather lent a hand. Left Canada in a howling blizzard. Temperature in the Black Forest district in the six- ties, flowers blooming every- where. Arrived back home in—guess what—a howling bliz- zard. . All in ally I'm slightly unhinged by the experience, so bear with me while I try to sort out some impressions of my jaunt. Was it really I who was belting along the autobahn a few days ago at 85 m.p.h., and shuddering as those crazy Siegfrieds went by us like a bat out of hell, doing at least 120? There -is no speed limit on the autobahns. A "suggested" limit of 81 is the only guideline and nobody pays any attention to it. Was it really I who climbed into bed mit a federbette at 4:30 in the afternoon and slept until five in the morning? Don't raise your eyebrows, gentle reader. A federbette is not what you think. It's a huge down comforter, about 10 inches thick. As light as an electric blanket and as warm as four ordinary blankets. Was it really I who sat over lunch with a gaggle of generals discussing how many tanks the Russians have and what "we" would do if they started any- thing? Was it really I who sat in a "space ship" with four little Canadian kids, all of us wearing "space helmets", and joined them ,in the count -down? Was it really I flying above cloud into the rosy -fingered dawn with two Dieppe veterans, one of them, Albert Brown of Sarnia, president of the Canadian Pri- soners -of -War Association? Was it really I standing at a formal officers' mess dinner, drinking toasts to the .Queen; the President of the United States, and Willi Brandt, president of West Germany? Was it really ' I standing at a cocktail party talking to charm- ing Sandy Morgan, a ;pretty Texan girl, and' telling her I'd love to go along to•Spain on a trip she was organikint f'l' oj# Ihs' wives, but that I really had only two -days left? I'm. afraid all these questions must be answered in the affirma- tive; ' but perhaps they will give some idea of the mind-boggling five days I had. • BETTER ENGLISH By D. C. Williams WORDS OFTEN MISUSED • We "compare TO" when we liken one thing to another. We "compare WITH" -when we point out differences and similarities. Thus: "He compared Anne's eyes TO the blue of the sea," and, "Anne compared her answers WITH those in the book" Do not say, "I can't condone you behaving in this manner." Say, "I can't condone YOUR 4ehaving in this manner." Do not say, "The girl who had been criticized quickly left." Since obviously she wasn't "criticized quickly," your meaning will be much clearer if you say, "The girl who had been criticized' LEFT QUICKLY." • Do not say; "John, along with his wife and two children, have taken on the responsibility to do the entire job." Say, "John, along with his wife and two children, HAS taken on the responsibility OF DOING the entire job." OFTEN MISPRONOUNCED Dossier. Pronounce doss-ee- ai, accent first syllable. Lasagne (Italian pasta). Pro- nounce la-zahn-ya, accent second syllable. Archipelago. Pronounce second syllable as "ki," not as "chee." Expurgate. Accent first syllable, preferred. Puissance (power, might, or force). Pronounce pyoo-i-sans, ac- cent first ,syllable. OFTEN MISSPELLED Abbreviate: two "b's." Abro- gate; only one "b." Cooperate and coordinate; now correctly written without the hyphen between the two "o's." Urban (of a city). Urbane (courteous; suave). Porten- tous (ominous); "tous." Preten- tious; "sous-" Desecrate (to pro- fane). Dessicate (to dry up). Pul- motor; only one "L" WORD STUDY "Use a word three times and it is yours." Let us increase our vo- cabulary by mastering one word each day. Words for this lesson: PRECURSORY; preliminary; in- troductory. "His precursory re- marks hinted at the real nature of his speech." One thing I did not do was something my wife, in a fit of pique, suggested 1 would. We were being entertained by friends one evening, just before I left, :She was annoyed because she wasn't going.
