KUied To Date 781 Ked To Cite Last Year .... 80i EDIKOKffiL Sporlsmanship-Whal Happened To It? BY: D. E. Parkerson The study of etymology reveals that words come into the common vocabulary because of extensive us age. No matter what the root of the word may be or other prefixes or suffixes, wide usage brings it mto the vocabulary, and the dicitonary. By that same token for merly popular words or widely .used words can fade out of the dictionary if they cease to be used in everyday speech. This is a logical law which always holds true in the history of any language. Could it be possible that the word "sportsmanthip" is fading into non-existence? Could it be that it soon will be excluded from the dictionaries as a result of its' not, being used or practiced? If conduct at some of the recent football games is any indicator, I am afraid the word is on the way out. Before this happens all of us , , i m, i , liiusi 8iop aim uoiiieiiiHKiie appearing in the vocabulary and tne necessity oi keep ing it there. As ybu read this article your reaction is one of two ways. Either you totally disagree with my thesis and have no conscience or regret about being unsportsman like in public, or you are saying, "You are exactly right, i (Confined on Back) Trial & Error Courtesy is something that we na turally expect from everyone but in the. day and time, people stay in NucV WshUftat'turtesy,.wrns (hp :1SgifWght, if a thouglirat il. tlut no6-"3!ie Town or oeuia Ville.

These are small items but they make an indelible impression on a visitor in town. All Eastern Carolina is thankful that Hurricane Esther decided to snub us this time, and we hope for the Northern states that the blow will not be too great. 'Bob Jenkins, field representative of Farm Bureau, told an interesting tale, the other night on the famous coach. Newt Rockey. Jenkins was pointing out the fact that some times the least words could get the most across. He told the tale a bout Rockney's team in a most im portant game. At half time the score was 33-0 and they had played a very bad game up to that point. Rockney didn't lecture during the half, or didn't bawl out the big husky boys. As time came to go back on the field he turned to his boys and said three word, "Let's go girls". The game was won. On Tuesday Mr. Henry Belk, edi tor of the-News Argus, was telling about how he and Mrs. Belk were entertaining some young boys with Mother Goose rhymes. The rhyme as he quoted it was: "Wire; brier, limber lock. Sit and sing until 10 o'clock: The clock fell down, the rat ran out. Out of Scotland into France, you old dirty dish rag you." To me it was wrong, but I could not fill in the right words, and it was "just about to drive me batty. This morning I held a, conference in the Courthouse with' Margaret Williams, Doris Sitterson and Lila Mae Teachey, and Mr. Hemy, we have lt straight t our way at least). However we did have, a little argu ment aabout the "dirty dish rag you" part - Here's how we think it was: , "William Crumble Tribie Toe, . He's a good fisherman. ' -, .
