When this word firat came into use about five centuries ago, it meant a little wallet or purse, and came from. the French word for a little purse, •"bottget," This in turn was derived from the .Latin word for a leather bag, "bulge, The French word died out and its anglicized form, "budget", was used to describe any purse, es- pecially one of leather. It is a char- acteristic of English that the name of a container is usually transferred to the thing contained, So budget came to have a second meaning, the con- tents of a bag or wallet, including whatever papers it might contain, In the 18th Century the Parliament- ary phrase "opened the budget" was applied to the English Chancellor of the Exchequer when he opened his wallet to take out papers dealing with public finance.

Actually, when we 20th Century Canadians examine our bud- get, we too look into the purse to see how much money will be available for expenses. The expression "whole kit and cab- oodle", is as American a phrase as you could hope to find in a year of searching, Yet, THE GIST OF IT is made up entirely of foreign words, "Whole kit and caboodle" came into existence to replace an earlier Amer- ican phrase the whole kit and "The whole kit" is certainly simple enough, meaning the entire outfit. "Bilin' " was a corruption of the word "boiling", meaning a seething mass of persons. The original expression "the whole kit and hula' " meant simp- ly the entire group and its equpment, as in a company of soldiers. In time it came to mean any group of people. This expression was considered rather common and a more refined phrase came into being--"the whole kit and boodle". The word "boodle" was an Americanized version of the Dutch "boedel!", which meant property or goods, Because we like alliteration so very much, someone put a hard "C" before "boodle" and gave us "the whole kit and caboodle". Incidentally, this Dutch word also furnished us with the word "boodle" which means money acquired by graft or bribery, and is usually applied to money used immorally by politicians. The man who taught us the most we know about American birds was the mysterious personality, John Au- dubon. The father of nature study in America, Audubon travelled all through the United States and Canada sketching birds. He published a book "Birds of America" which contains paintings of more than 1,000 birds: Although Audubon sold this work for a nominal sum, he was unable to earn enough to support himself and his family. Yet today copies of the book fetch fabulous prices, One of them was recently offered at auction and was sold for enough money to have kept Audubon and his family in clothing And food for many months. John Audubon was supposed to have been born in Louisiana, the son of a French admiral and a Spanish lady, He was sent to France to study painting, but returned to the United States and opened a store in Ken- tucky, He was a failure, for he paid little attention to business, prefer- ring to wander in the woods and study birds. His business failed and he was forced to earn a living as best he could. He gave lessons in drawing, fencing and dancing, the last two accomplishments doing little to help him in his struggle to stay alive. To- ward the end of his life, with fame beginning for him, Audubon settled on the Hudson River in upper Manhattan. He died in 1851, but his hook and his bird paintings will live forever, And that's THE GIST OF IT for this time. HOW TO LIVE 1,01% Al‘D LIKE IT The average child born today can expect to live 68 years. This is the highest life span in history, hut it can be pushed even higher, not only by new medical discoveries but by right living on the part of individual men and women. Amram Scheinfeld, author ef the re- cent book, "The New You and Hered- ity," examines in a May. Reader's Di- gest article the chief factors influen- cing the life span. Some of these factors are completely or partly beyond your control—your sex, for instance, and the kind of work you do. If you're a female you have an overwhelming advantage. In mid- dle life, 15 per cent more women than men have survived; by the 70s, 20 per cent more, and among nonagenarians women outnumber men by two to one. Farmers and professional men — clergymen, teachers, lawyers, doctors —live longer . than other occupational groups. Slightly shorter are the lives o! businessmen and white' bollar wor- ksrs. Next are skilled and unskilled workers; lowest on the list are artists,1 writers, actors and musicians.
