A petition requesting the
vacation of the alley between
Hawthorne st. and Genessee

that 100 per cent of the prop
erty owners on the alley had

thing be done to reduce the
traffic hazard in the alley, the
council referred the matter to
the city police department for
investigation.
In other action the city
council:
Approved the installation

860 cost for the main.

The controversy over Web
ster's New Third International
Dictionary (Morriam-Webster)
which has raged nationwide
since its publication last year,
has reached into educational
and library circles in Jackson
county.
Some criticize it sharply;
others praise it as a definitive
work which accurately re
flects the language as Jt is
today.
"This dictionary will never
enter my library," is one
comment. Another: "Our
standards are disintegrating,
our teen agers are setting the
standards.'
Part of the controversy has
come about because the edi
tors have dropped such status
labels as "colloquial" and "il
literate," and use the terms
'substandard," "non stand-
ard," "standard," and "slang."
No effort is made to distin
guish a word as "bad" or
good," but only to record
how the word is used in the
United States.
Indicates Usage
Webster uses "substandard"
to indicate usage which ex
ists in the U.S., but which
differs from that of the pres
tige group in that community.
For instance, two "standard"
words are "drowned" and
"himself." "DroWndcd" and
"his-sclf" are listed as sub
standard. The term, "non
standard," is used for "a
small number of words that
can hardly stand without
some status label, but are too
widely current In reputable
context to be labeled sub
standard, as, Mr-regardless'.'
Mrs. Margaret Zwlck, dean
of girls at Ashland High
school, says, "My main ob
Jectlon is the theory that any
thing that Is spoken is cor
rect. I believe that anyone
concerned with education,
which should include publish
ers of dictionaries, should at
tempt to maintain and even
raise standards of spoken and
written English.".
Giles Green, librarian at
Ashland High school, says,
"The English-speaking people
have always looked to Web
ster as the final authority on
all questions relating to the
English language. Until the
publication of the Third Edi
tion, people of letters had
never been afraid of compro
mise. They had known that if
Webster approved, the usage
was correct. Unfortunately,
this Third Edition has gone
too far in this matter of vali
dating bv common usage. It
has compromised our langu
age with 'slanguage'."
The word "ain't" has rais
ed a furor, as the first mean
ing of the word bears no la
bel and the definition says,
"used orally in most parts of
the U.S. by many cultivated
speakers.
The definition for another
word in dispute, "don't,"
slates that it is "often used
with a singular subject by
cultivated speakers though
the construction is sometimes
objected to, as, 'He don't
want to go'."
In tracing the history of
a language, It is louna tnat
words In favor in one century
may be in disrepute in an
other century. Such word as
fellow" during Shake-
speares time was used in
speaking to a menial or serv
ant. Today, the word carries
no connotations and no one
would object to being called
fellow.

Postmasters Will
Meet in Medford
Medford will be the site of
the 1964 convention of the
Oregon Chapter, National As
sociation of Postmasters, Al
Bradford, acting postmaster of
Medford. has announced.
Postmasters attending the
1963 convention at Newport',
which concluded Thursday,
voted to come to Medford for
their three-day convention to

250.
Farley Elliott of Bend was

sor of English at Southern
Oregon college, points out
that the language is continu
ally changing. The word,
"anon," originally meant
"right now." Then its mian
ing changed to "in a little
while."
Differing Meaning
In addition, a word can
have differing meanings de
pending on the country in
which it is used. An example
is the word, "bloody." This
word Is acceptable in the
U.S., but cultivated people in
England avoid the word, and
doctors will substitute the
word, "sanguinary," for It.
Of the Third Edition, Dr.
Byrns states, "This represents
a reasonable way to describe
the language as it works.
Properly used the edition
would be of great help to
most teachers."
Omar Bacon, head librari
an of the Public Library of
Medford and Jackson County,
states, "The Third Edition
fills a real need for an up-to-
date list of current words in
our language and is in keeping
with the modern pace of the
world. It accepts the- dictate
that good usage modifies the
language."

Report Is Read
A report from the state

regarding the city council's
request relative to reducing
the speed limit on the Inter
state 5 viaduct through Med
ford.
The board proposed that
the present 70 miles per-hour
speed zone be retained.

high speed and reduction of
10 miles per hour in the desig
nated speed would not ma
terially change any possible
hazard.
