Gen. I. T. Wyche. General “Billy” made a trip out back of his home on Village Green East to get some wood to keep the home fires burning since the furnace fires weren’t. As he was returning to the house, he heard an ominous dull crash and looking back, saw a heavy tree, burdened with too much ice, fall in the place where he had stood seconds before. Ah, Vigah! While employed in a post- Christmas task—cleaning out papers from an old wauet to re place in a new one—we found a couple of scraps of paper contain ing lines which suggest that we, too, were at one time mesmerized by one of President Kennedy’s favorite words—“vigah.” One is a motto attributed to the young Swift: “Beat not the paths which vulgar feet have trod. But give the vigorous fancy room.” Of the authorship of the other phrase—“The vigorous mind has mountains to climb and valleys to repose in—” we are unsure, but believe it to be either by Emerson or Hazlitt. We still feel that vigorous is a wonderfully full-bodied word, a word brimming with abundant life, with all the sweep and power of a March wind that buoys while it buffets. Obsolete? On the subject -of words, we were slapped on the wrist recent ly for using a word in a news ar ticle which we were told is archa ic. in fact, really obsolete. The word was “cottage” and if it is truly obsolete, then that poses quite a problem, for how are we to separate the seasonal and transient hotel dwellers from those who dwell in homes if we can no longer use the well-wom phrase—“the cottage colony”—to describe the latter. Of course, we could probably call this regiment of winter resi dents “the home colony” but that’s fairly ridiculous since most of them, admittedly, make their homes on the Pinehurst golf courses and|or at the Country Club during the majority of their time of residence here. Also, the word “home” doesn’t sit well with our editor, it makes him shudder and, frankly, he thinks it’s “corny,” to use another archaic word. So, presumably we have no re course but to call Pinehurst win ter colonists either “the house colony,” or to revert to obsoles cence, and continue the cottage colony designatio*. lest Ministers T® Preach At Vilrlage Chapel Duning the two-week absence of 'the ■yillage Chapel’s minister, Bishom.
