What's in a name? Quite a bit,
if you're going to be stuck with it
for the rest of your life.
When the young people were
trying to think of a name for my
new grandson, I started ponder-
ing on this whole business of
:Christian monikers.
Naming of children seems to go
in cycles. And the names in one
generation seem either ugly or
affected to the people of the next
generation.
There was a time when girls
were quite happy to be called
Pearl or Ruby, Mabel or Myrtle
or Elsie. If a girl were given a
name like that tody, she'd run
away from home atthe age of
five.
The same period produced
boys' names like Elmer „Horace,
Marvin, not to mention those two
great poets, one Greek, one
Latin: Homer and Virgil.
That was known as the bad

period to be tagged. Before that
was the romantic period. In nay
mother's family, the boys were
dubbed things like Drayton,
Emerson, Lionel, Ivan, On Fri
wife's side, her mother was
Sophia, and her mother's sisters
were Charlotte and Esther.
Those ladies would up as'
Sophie, Lottie and Acey, but the
damage was done. My wife's
mother named her Ivy and her
sister Iris, but they didn't turn.
out to be a couple of clinging.
vines. My wife hates her name so
I call her Suse, which seems to
suit her. .
My own mother was on the ebb -
tide of the romantic period, but
she did name her daughters Flor-
ence and Norma. They wound up
as Floss and The Brat, so it
wasn't too bad.
With the boys' names, my ma
wasn't too bad, but my brothers
are Byron Arnott Keith and
Donald Allan Blake, and I'm Wil-
liam Bryant Thomson.
Not too awful, really, but my
brothers emerged as Blake and
Arnott. I have been called Billy,
Bill, Willie and Will, among other
things, but have never been
known as William, except in legal
documents.
I was the lucky one. I grew up
in an age of Jacks and Bob's and
t- Bills and Joes and Toms. A
Gordon was suspect, and a
Homer was hooted out of the
gang, unless he could find a nick-
name like Stink or Piggy or
Greaseball or some such affec-°
tionate nomenclature.
In my group, there was a "
Harold, an Arnold; and a Clayton.
They were tolerated because they
became Smokey Oakes, Goon
Imeson and Pappy Warren.
Aftermy generation, a new
wave of snobbery set i, as'
women started calling their kids
after heroes in the 'Ladies Home
Journal and British novels.
There sprouted a whole crop of
Peters_ and Stevens and Michaels
and Jeffreys and Christophers
and Marks and Matthews and
Nicholases and Davids and Ians.
There wasn't a George or a John
in the lot.
And the girls got it .too. There
were Samanthas ;and Natalles
and Sonyas and Patrices' and

Finding a 'girl called Mary
these days is just as tough as
finding a boy called' Joh�ni:. p
Oh, I'm not blaming the par-
ents all that rnueh. It's no joke,
choosing a name. We were going.
to call our first-born Judy,, be-
cause it was to be a girl. It didn't
have the right plumbing, so we
named it Hugh, after a Sir Hugh
Smiley •in Ireland. And 'do you
know, the old skinflint didn't even
put our boy in his will?
Second time around, we took no
chances. The kid was to be called
Kim, which would suit either sex.
We though it was different. The
only Kim around was Kim
Novak. A dozen,years later, there
was a Kim on every street -
corner. 4
Well, like all grandparents, not
wanting to interfere, just trying
to be helpful,, we tried to ram a
name down my daughter's throat
for her infant.
But most of the good ones were
gone, In her own family con-
nection, there are already: a
Peter and a Paul; a David and a
Hugh; a Steven and a Patrick; a
Matthew and a Darcy. All the
good ones were gobbled up.
We suggested Geoffrey and
.Mark and Michael and others,
and at each, she'd say, "Echhhh,
that reminds me of ..."
The' kid was a week old. I was
getting desperate. I asked my
students to help me. They really
tried. They came up with Charley
and Cool -hand Luke and Jim and
Oscar. Big help.
Well, I know the suspense is
killing you, so I'll tell. They
named the poor little kid Nicove

novel. Chen (pronounced Shen)

It is my fond hope that our doc-
tors will read this' item I am
about to write. At. the •University
of Georgia research has indi-
cated that saturated fatty acid,
which raises blood cholesterol, is
not even present in meat fat. The
primary fatty acid that is in meat
fat (caproic) actually lowers
blood cholesterol and blood pres-
sure.
On top of this comes the state-
ment froni.Dr. Michael DeBakey,
the famous heart transplant sur-
geon, that only about 30, per cent`"
of heart patients' have any c. holes-
terol 'abnormality. He said that
diet is sant a specific),cau§e of
heart disease, stating: 'We don't
know the cause and we need, to
take a much saner. attitude to-
ward . diet in relation . to the
disease, since it is. obvious, that
diet, as -far as.69'per cent or 70 per
cent of the patients are con-
cerned, -has not been related or
associated with thellisease in our
experience."

'Just saw in the daily press that
the • agricultural outlook con-
ference doesn't expect food costs
to,go down. We, as farmers have
known this all along. 0 can't go
down at the farm level since
production would decrease and
the price increase, It can't gd
down at the transportation level,
for fuelprices went up as well -as
truck prices, and wages won't
come down. Restaurant prices
can't come down because wages
and other. inputs went up: Retail
prices won't go down for the
same reasons. It appears to me
that low income people must
have some help to pay for the
higher food cost. I'm afraid that
high income people, professional
people, some high paid union
members, will not be willing to
sacrifice anything. Then if the
food costs go up, they'll demand
more income, which in turn will
result in higher food cost.
