Gates, 44, and his wife. An nie, started the business seven years ago in Gresham, continuing to run it from their home when they moved to Boring four years ago Gates has been in the con struct ion business most of his life, he said Despite the present slump in housing construction and a tight money market, the couple hopes to further their venture into the housing market with their newest feature a 1,780 square-foot ''s h e ll’ home for less than $20,000 The cost covers excava tion, a full concrete founda tion, hook up to a septic tank and dram field for a rural site, a shake roof and a cathedral ceiling in a room of the owner's choice A two car garage can be attached by reducing the hom e’s square footage to 1,252, (iates said The resulting house, which divides “ nicely into three bedrooms,” is then ready for the owner to finish on the in side and paint on the outside “ I t ’s really geared for the younger couple who can't af ford a home,” he said The large, light blue and whit»1 warehouse aleady con structed at the oempany's new s ix -a c re s ite on Highway 212 w ill eventually lie jointed by four other, larger buildings, according to (>ates ‘Panjandrum’ smarmy for word buffs by BARBARA WATERHOUSE For The Post "T h e status quo ” G rand P anjandrum ," by J N Hook, contains 1.999 ra re and useful word and expressions. This is a fun book for word buffs and Hook has one very helpful idea: “ The lack of a common gender pronoun in E n g lis h has lo n g been recognized In this book I've used the following combined forms: heshe — he or she; him er — him or her; hiser — his or her, and him erself — himself or herself “ Each reader can decide for himerself whether heshe prefers these forms or the Firwood School sets pair o f special days Firwood School has two events of interest occurring soon. Tomorrow, A p ril 24, is Grandparents Day at the school. This is a day when the grandparents of the students are invited to visit the school and spend part of the day with their student They may also eat lunch with the student Students, grandparents and teachers all seem to enjoy this day. Next Tuesday, A p ril 28. the school w ill host the an nual Pre school Party. Children who live in the Firwood School attendance area and w ill be six years old by Nov. 15 are invited to F ir wood School at 1:30 p m Children should bring their parents so the children can be registered for next year W h ile the p a re n ts a re registering, the children w ill be getting acquainted with the school and the first grade teachers, and having a gcxxl time. Proof of im m unizations and birth certificate are re quired before registration can be completed An im m unization clin ic has been scheduled May 20, 3 30 6:30 p m . Here is a sentence that I've concocted that you w ill be able to decipher after finishing my review: "H e pursued, in sm arm y an tic ip a tio n , his in te n d e d callipygian posse I cue with p u rple passages gleaned fro m ‘ T ru e R o m a n c e ' magazine .” What is a panjandrum? Samuel Foote, an 18 century E n g lis h w r it e r , cre a te d “ The Grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button top ” Panjandrum has survived through tim e as the name of a pompous, pretentious o fficial with con siderable power Have you wondered what to call the way the kids talk to d a y '’ It is c alled “ e m b o lla ,” or hesitation forms “ Like, well, uh, you know, Man, w hat’s his name is waitin' '* H e s ita tio n fo rm s , you know, fill like a sizable part of each sentence, p a rticu la r ly when, lik e , th e y ’re repeated like forever, you know What is a good term for " liv in g to g e th e r’’ ’ ’ The author has suggested “ out law ” and “ checkmate.” I suggest “ pad p a l” because it w il l p ro b a b ly le a d to “ palim ony." The Bureau of the Census and the Internal Revenue Service use the acronym “ posslq” iposselcue) for “ person of opposite sex shar mg living quarters ” I disagree w ith Hook on several word definitions “ s m a rm y ," “ c a llip y g ia n ” and the te rm " p u r p le passage." “ S m arm y," according to the author, "is a rem ark that is gushy, insinuating, or ex cessively fla tte rin g ” The “ Harper's Dictonary of Con temporary Usage” defines s m a rm y : “ In V ic to ria n times 'sm arm ' was a sort of pomade used by dandies to slick down their hair Then it came to mean the kind ol fulsome fla tte ry you might expect from chaps who slick ed their hair that way ” It still sounds bland to me. so it w ill press on A nne B a x te r, in h e r autobiography, “ In te rim s sion ," describes Charles l^aughton < Harod i as "sm a r m ily d w e llin g on th e heroine’s charms ” The sub ject of his unwholesome reveries was Rita Hayworth as Salome That sounds more like it Smarm comes fro m a G e rm a n w o rd , "s c h w a r m r e r , " and it means enthusiasm, ecstasy and wild devotion Hook says that “ purple passage” means something extraordinarily b rillia n t that is inserted into an uncolorful piece of w riting I don't know I always figured that you find purple passages in lurid novels, or m ay be mashers The la s t w o rd is “ ca llipygian.” Hook is right when he says that “ k a lli" m eans b e a u tifu l and “ pygos” means buttocks, but his example turned me oft “ Rubens delighted in painting rather hefty and d e c id e d ly e a llip y g 1 a n damsels Yuk Styles change, but 1 definitely prefer the com pad rear view of Betty (ira b le looking over her shoulder Rubens’ women were "E a t City ' and they should have avoided the ale houses T h e Kubota B 7100D T w ith four-wheel drive.
