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

usual habitat.
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.
"I have to drive through a
blizzard to see my Dad," she
snapped, and this.• One 011 to
