WHO SAYS IT CAN T?
You still hear the story that halibut cannot be suc
cessfully packed in cans or jars. Yet halibut fishermen
insist that their families long have canned halibut suc
cessfully. The disagreement means that there is some
defect in the process, true enough, but in this modern
day that means only a minor problem. A bit of re
search should settle the difficulty.
The news item of a few days ago may have escaped
you: that people far from Alaska plan to pack halibut
in aluminum containers.
Aluminum may not be the answer, but the news is
evidence enough that someone is going to find the an
swer, and with Ketchikan a halibut fishing center there
is no reason why the answer shouldn’t be found right
here. Successful packing of halibut in cans would not
necessarily revolutionize the industry, but it would give
it a new market, however small, with which to swell
the price and swell the demand.
Almost nothing is impossible in this day and age.
So, with out fisheries still capable of great development,
we may hope that the promised fish laboratory can do
some constructive good in developing new ways of pre
paring fish and in finding uses of fish now going to
waste.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
KIND WORDS FOR “AIN'T”
Professor Harold H. Bender, of Princeton, has donf
his fellow-Americans a service by advancing ‘ ain’t”
from an illiteracy to a colloquialism.
Tracing the word back by a long pedigree to pre
Revolutionary days, he discovered a legitimate origin
for it in properly sanctioned usuage. Elegant it may
not be. but neither are many of our shortest and most
useful Anglo-Saxon forms. At any rate, it seems to be
no worse than many others that we accept without con
descension.
Ii Proiessor Bender can make it stick as a collo
quilism, without being reversed and remanded, perhaps
some future learned authority may promote it again.
It should be used with discrimination, say as a prefer
ence to “Is it not?” One needn’t go the whole way
with H. L. Mencken’s rustic, “If it ain't his’n, it ain’t
nobody here else’s.”
“Ain't” is handled better by the English. Their
playwrights and novelists walk up to it without a blush
hnd take it flat-footed with a streamlined effect. We
might profit from their example. “Aint ’ needn’t be the
shibboleth of vulgarism.—N. Y. World-Telegram.
Ambassabor Davies sees Soviet Russia turning to
capitalism. Won't that be comforting to the Reds in
this country, who want America to go Communistic!—
Detroit Free Press.
After an exhaustive study of Ethiopia, Spain, and
various gambling systems, we believe II Duce could do
better playing the black than the red.—Atlanta Consti
tution.
Clean-up week doesn’t mean the same thing as the
clean up in the fall, but it is equally important.
