The Wingham Advance-Times, 1985-04-17, Page 24$ Page 4—Crossroads—Apr. 17, 1985 For some reason, and I've no idea what it is, this col- umn is ' going to be about girls' names. There are sev- eral -.possible reasons, any -of - which might be theright one. First, it might be just an unconscious reaction to the worst cold spell I can re- member. The names of girls, exotic or • otherwise, seem to help 'fight those Jan. -Feb. ,vbinler blues or blahs. Secondly, I might simply be getting senile. Who knows? A couple of years from now I might be turning up at playgrounds with nothing on but a raincoat. And thirdly, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it. I don't know whether this happens to you, but eyery so often I get some silly old song in my head, and I whistle and sing it, in- audibly, of course, because I don't want to be put away, for perhaps fifteen hours. It could be Colonel Bogey, and I play it, with variations, through my head all day. No other tune interferes. Just a few days ago, I got one into my skull that must date back to the Twenties, and it went on all day, through conver- • sation, eating, shaving. It was: You can bring Rose, with the turned -up nose, But don't bring Lula. You can bring Kate with. the partial plate, But don't bring Lula. Some old-timers might re- member it. I'm sure it goes back to the days of vaude- ville, or the gramophone, as we used to call it. But I've no idea where it came from, ' where I heard it, why I re- membered the tune, or what was wrong with Lula. Anyway, I began to con- template the names of girls, and whence they derived. We chose the name Kim for our flare-up of old-fashioned or daughter, because we didn't foreign names. Then we know whether she was going have a rash of Samanthas, to be a daughter or another Marthas, Ingrids, Fleurs, son, and the name fitted Leslies. The trouble is, with either sex. There wasn't a our fondness Lnr picknaines,, Kim on the horizon then. even these august names be - Now you can find one on ,come Sam, Marty, Ingy and every street corner. dingy, Flour and Les. In my home form, I had Thank goodness there is a two Kims, two Karens, and a ,- solid element of parents in Carol, and until I knew which our society who stick with was which, I'd ask'a question, the good Biblical and funda- and start sounding like the mentally Anglo-Saxon tags: • Bill Smiley Girls' names old song, "K -k -k -Katie." Ruth, Mary, Rebecca, Mar- Gik1s' names seem to go in garet, Elizabeth, Jennifer, cycles. One year I had five Susan, Jane, Sophia, and Debbies in one class. Hardly such. ever _hear a Debbie anymore. Not for them the exotic and Aside from the fads, when subtly suggestive stuff like every third gal has the same Sylvia, Sonya, Roberta, name, there seem to be some Giselle, Juanita. Those are basic roots from which be- the sort of names that can leaguered mothers and get a girl into trouble. How fathers label their offspring. about Carlotta?Or Vivien? (I've. known a Robin Bird Trouble, trouble. and a Pete Moss, but those Personally, if I had six were exceptions) . daughters, Lord forbid, I'd Some girls- are named after jewels, but there aren't many Pearls, Rubies, Opals. Sapphires and such around these days. They're as old- fashioned as,Elmer and Gor- don for boys. Strangely, I've never heard a girl called Diamond;" though I've met a few hard enough to live up to such a sobriquet. Girls are named after some months, but not others. We can label a girl May, , April or June, but you don't hear too many Februaries or Novembers floating around. 1 think Febbie would be kinda cute for a short girl born in that short month. Then there is the practice of naming . girls after flow- ers. We have Iris and Ivy and Pansy and Daisy and Mari- • gold and Rose, and even, on the occasional farout en- counter, Tulip or Virginia (if her last name happens to be Creeper). But they, too, have pretty well gone by the board. I don't know why..A girl is just as pretty as a flower, and often smells even nicer. Why don't we go back to that and call girls Petunia, Begonia, Phlox, Crocus, Daffodil? Think of the sweet little abbreviations they'd acquire.. Pet, Beggi.e, Flocky, Crokey and Daffy. Once in a while there is a try to get one into each cat- egory, Emeralda for jewel- lery. September for a month. How does September Smiley sound? .. Sweet -pea Smiley? Ursula for an old-timer. Once had a slight fling with a girl by that name:. Mary for the solid virtues and the religious connotations. And Diana, goddess of love, for the dangerous group., If I suddenly and unex- pectedly had a seventh, I'd name her for one of the great women in myth or literature. Perhaps Circe, or Sordelia. Everybody happy with those? Thank goodness my daughter has two boys, one Nikov, after a character in a Russian novel, the other Balind,,a name she made up. She'd drive us crazy if she had a batch of girls. • AUCTION SALE Of combine, tractor, farm machinery, feed, misc. items, for: Aubrey Woodham .& Sons Lot S.H. 1'0, Con. 10, Maryborough Twp. locat- ed first farm north of ,Moorefield on County Road 10 on Sat: April- 27 - 12 Noon ' TRACTORS: MF .1085 diesel tractor, multi. power, cab, tidal remotes, dual wheels 80 hp.; MF 255 diesel tractor, remotes, :complete with quick -tack MF industrial loader, 6' bucket &.fork; MF 50,diesel tractor, multi -power, new rear tires.

A heart attack is the death of a por- tion of heart muscle that may result in disability or death, depending on how much -of the heart is damaged. It occurs when an.ob'struction in one of the coronary arteries prevents the blood from supplying oxygen to the heart muscle, Heart attack symp- toms may include chest pair nausea and shortness of breath. The risk of heart attack can be reduced by treat- ing high blood pressure, avoiding cigarette smoking, observing a low cholesterol diet and maintaining normal body weight.
