A manuscript weighing 134
pounds was delivered to Random
House in March, 1956, by Bergen
Evans and his sister, Cornelia.
This manuscript, "A Dictionary
Of Contemporary American Us
age," is the first major work of
its kind. It was published by
Random House on August 30.
Background
The Evans' background for an
original reference book on the
American language is unique. As
children, they spoke three dialects
of English. They moved ,from
their Franklin, Ohio, home to
England, where their father was
assigned by the American Con
sular Service.
In their father's Sheffield
household, they were forbidden to
speak the ibarely recognizable
STEREOL.

Barnyard
Fable ~
Upbeat
By Dave Bledsoe
Music Analyst
Once upon a time, in the back
woods on a little farm, there lived
a big turkey. He was a very
happy turkey, and he was fed
the best of everything. This,
however, was no ordinary turkey,
for this cool gobbler liked jazz.
Brubeck swung him, Errol
nade him cluck with delight, and
sometimes, when no one was lis
tening, he would add a tricky
counterpoint to the Australian
Jazz quartet with i long drawn
out gobble that wa a delight to
the hep ear.
VilHianous Shift
Chauncy, the rooster, who was
a very devoted Bach fan, used to
drop over and dig some of Turk's
jazz; they had become quite de
voted friends, and together they
would really send the chicks. As
you can see this was a very happy
barnyard-until the arrival of a
very shifty duck.
This duck stole the spotlight
from our two friends. He would
get on the stage and all the chicks
would squeal with delight as he
waddled around ginging "Rockin'
Robin.",
Pink-eyed
As the leaves turned brown,
and the fall air acquired a decided
nip, the duck's popularity grew.
Sometimes the chicks would pluck
their feathers and throw them at
Ducky just to show him their
devotion, and sometimes the poor
things would just faint at the
slightest glance from those big
pink eyes.
Turk and Chauncy were neg
lected, Chauncy's Sunday morn
ing crowing of Bach's Partita in
D failed to evoke a single com
ment.
Then one morning Ducky was
gone. The barnyard was in a
quandry, some of the chick's re
fused to eat, though if the truth
be known, a few of the older and
wiser barnyard habitants were
tired of the constant quacking.
In the farmhouse, the good
farmer and his wife were making
quick work of a tasty roast duck.
"You know, Matilda, I never
would have thought about having
duck this Thanksgiving if I
hadn't heard that fool quacking
all the time."
Moral: Eventually the loud
mouths will get it in the neck.

Freshman C
Free Trip
Sponsored
By 44-H Club
.A designing woman is young,
pretty Kay Dantzler.
In fact, she is so good at de
signing that one of her original
dress creations has brought her
a trip to Chicago for the 37th
National 4-H Club Congress,
Nov. 29-Dec. 4, as winner of the
"Dress Review" project of the
S. C. 4-H Clubs.
While in Chicago, Kay - a
freshman at Carolina in the
School of Nursing-will model
her prize winning dress for some
1,200 4-H representatives from
the U. S. and its territories ex
pected to attend the Congress.
Other Talents
But talent in designing was
not the only basis on which she
was chosen, for she had to de
monstrate all-around project
achievement, leadership and citi
zenship to meet the rigid qualifi
cations for contestants.
Preparation
Happy over prospects for her
forthcoming trip, Kay explained
that this was no easily-won vic
tory, for she has been working
almost half her lifetime for this
prize.
Her first efforts began nine
years ago under the expert guid
ance of her mother, Mrs. W. D.
Dantzler, a 4-H Club leader in
Holly Hill.
Kay designed, sewed and sub
mitted her creation in four an
nual contests, and this year at
"nearly 18" her hard work and
perseverance won for her the long
sought prize.
But her talents don't end here,
for she not only designs clothes
but models them as well. For the
past three years she has modeled
at the "Made in South Carolina
Style Show," a part of the annual
S. C. Farm and Home Week.
Only a Hobby
With so many interests, the
question of what Kay's future
plans might naturally arise. "I
want to be a nurse, and I hope a
good one," is her comment. "De
signing is fun, but it is, and will
remain, only a hobby for me."
Here again the pretty co-ed has
shown signs of excellence for she
is one of 50 girls meticulously
chosen by the School of Nursing
for this first class of the school's
new four-year training program
leading to the bachelor of science
degree-the only -such program
offered in the state.
