Underwriters List Fire Precautions CHICAGO (UPI)-Take these precautions to keep homes safe from fires, says the National Board of Fire Underwriters. When cleaning the yard, never burn leaves on a windy day. If you do burn trash or learn, always burn them in a covered metal container set away from any building or fence. Keep a garden hose hooked up for emergency use and have the hose equipped with threaded faucets. For a two-story house, keep a ladder in a handy place in case it is needed for rescue. Keep a back-pack pump or garden spraying equipment filled with water and in a place where you can get to it quickly. Post the number of the nearest fire equipment near the telephone.

SPENCER CHICAGO (UPI)-Maybe we Americans are spending the same kind of currency ind sa luting the same flag, but how about fossnocks? Fossnocks are what some Americans call nut cakes, oli cooks or crullers. Perhaps you know them as doughnuts. Then there's the coverlid sit uation. That's what some Americans call bed spreads, which others call coverlets or counterpanes. Let's go into the keeping room and talk it over. Or do you call it the sitting room, the par lor, the front room or the living room.' The above examples of dis agreement as to what to call things are contained in a book by Mrs. Jean Malstrom, an as sociate professor of English at Western Michigan university, and Mrs. Annabel Ashley, asso ciated with the Portland, Ore., school system. The book, published by the National Council of Teachers of English, sets forth that decades after the passing of the old frontier Americans still talk in different dialects. We still pro nounce words in a variety of ways, use an assortment of grammar and don't even agree on what to call a creek. Binneklll Some Americans call a creek a brook. To others it is a binne kill, a run, a prong, a kill, a riverlet or a binacle. Some American kids play on a seesaw. Others call the thing a teetering board, a dandle, a ridy-horse or a teeter-totter. We eat johnny cake, hush puppies, spoon bread, hoe cake or corn cakes and according to the authors it's all the same, as is Dutch cheese, smear case, pot cheese and cottage cheese. Americans who eat too much get sick, to, at, in, on or of their their stomachs. American chil dren are liable to get a whip ping, licking, smacking, skein ing, skinning, blistering, thrash ing, tanning or even a beating if they play hookey or truant or skip, bolt, hook, bag or skip school. In their book, "Dialects USA," the authors say these differ ences "are created by the move ments of people from one region of the country to another; the westward movement carried speech forms from Pennsylva nia west to Ohio and from New York to Michigan." Midland Words "Migrations north up the Mis sissippi river to southeastern Minnesota spread Midland words, the authors say. "A small area in southeas' rn Ne braska has certain northern speech forms apparently brought there after the Civil War by a number of New York and Ohio families who migrated west into the east Platte River valley."

Zippy Dip For a zippy dip for enjoying with celery, cucumber, carrot or beet sticks; with cauliflower ets and other vegetable appe tizers, try this: Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, '-4 cup dairy sour cream, 2 tablespoons horserad ish, '. teaspoon black pepper; mix thoroughly, MAIL TRIBUNE, MEUKORD, of Book Americans are still on the move and they bring their words with them. Nowadays there's no telling where you might hear somebody order up a stack of fritters, flannel cakes, pancakes, flitters, hot cakes or flap jacks. - We may be influenced by the television and radio announcers but we've also picked up some word habits from our relatives, kinfolks, home folks, relations and kinnery. It's a blame shame that all Americans don't talk good Mis-sourian. EVERYONE LOVES A PARADE! GET DM STEIP!
