Golden Rule relocates soon
The Golden Rule Construc
tion Co., located for the past
four years on Kelso Road,
w ill settle into its new head
quarters at 27600 Highway
212 by May
“ We ju st outgrew our
space on Kelso Road,” said
owner Spencer Gates, whose
company in itia lly specializ
ed in farm and light in
d u s t r ia l b u ild in g s and
warehouses but is now enter
ing into housing construe
lion.
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
