Post Office Department Asked To Establish “Odd” Offices By GEORGE MACKIE HARTFORD Conn. (# — Arthur H. Hughes, vice president and dean of Trinity College, thinks it would be nice if the Post Office Depart- ment would establish post offices in such Connecticut localities as Gadpouch, Lull, Moose Meadow, Nod, Obtuse, Pigtail Corners, Pud- dietown and Wallop. Hughes won’t argue that their populations are sufficient to war- rant a post office, He just thinks they would make lovely postmarks. Hughes’ hobby is Connecticut place names. He has catalogued | 20,000 in the last 10 years, working first with former Lt. Gov. Odell Skepard, author and English teach- er now at Bard College, and more recently with Morse Allen of Trin- My’s English faculty Obviously, Hughes doesn’t con- fine his studies to Connecticut's formally organized towns and cit- ies. There are only 169 of them. He collects names of rivers, lakes, swamps and localities used prin- cipally by folks in the immediate neighborhood. Among other things his studies Gave made him quite an authority on Indian languages. The Quinni- piace River in Connecticut, for in- stance, is the same word as the Kennebec in Maine, It means “long water country.” He has be- come also a debunker of local leg- ends. The story that Yelping Hill got its name from a pack of foxes disregards the fact the land was or owned by a man named Yelp- ing Among the assortment of odd facts compiled by Hughes: Most place names grow “‘out of a prosy, workaday world,” so that Connecticut has 18 Chestnut Hills and the same number of Prospect Hills. Animals, birds, fishes, points of the compass, colors, numerals, people’s names and such adjectives as great, little, long or middle are names, Washington, Conn. (pop. 2,200), is the first town in the United States named in honor of Gen. Washington. Connecticut, more than any state in the country, uses what Henry L. Mencken called portmanteau or telescope words, formed by joining the first syllable of one word with the last syllable of another. Tor- ringford is between Torrington and New Hartford; Hadlyme between Haddam and Lyme; Harwinton is a town made up of portions of Hartford, Windsor and Farmington. Depressions gave names to at least two Connecticut localities, | Hardscrabble in Warren and Pinch- gut in Danbury. | Devils Hopyard and Satan’s Kingdom are two of a dozen wild and rocky places in Connecticut taking their names from the nether regions. There are “‘no correspond- ing and compensating appellations that belong on the side of the angels,” Hughes says. The Bible had its influence, though, with 11 Goshens and a number of Sharons and Canaans. Bangall, in Stamford, got its name because it is the former site of a tin shop. Cherry Park, in Avon, may nev- jer have seen a cherry tree. It is ‘named for an Indian chief called Page 10 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, June 30, 1953 Mr. Hilario Ramos, president of the Cherry—because of his fondness | for cherry rum. If the Indians could come back to Connectieut (Quinnitukut), they probably wouldn’t recognize many places they named; but it’s their own fault because they never de- veloped a written language. Each early settler who heard an Indian name wrote it the way it sounded to him “‘and the result has been something that borders on chaos.” Hence nobody knows how it start- ed out, but the Jongest place name in Connecticut, applied to a stream in Sherman, now looks like this: Naromiyocknowhus - unkatank- | shunk Brook. ALIEN LAW CHANGE WASHINGTON (® — President Eisenhower called congressional immigration specialists to the White House today to witness the signing of legislation to speed citizenship to aliens who serve in the U. S. armed forces. The legislation, backed by lead- ing veterans’ groups, the Defense and Justice Departments, makes eligible for citizenship aliens who serve 90 days in the U. S. armed forces between June 25, 1950, and July 1, 1955. In some cases, resi- dence in this country for one year prior to military service is re-| quired, Ike To Sign Brochure WASHINGTON (®—Rep. Judd (R-Minn) said today President Eisenhower will sign Thursday a brochure sponsored by the National Association of Evangelicals which calls for emphasis on the spiritual side of Fourth of July celebrations. | The pamphlet, “March of Free- dom,” is based on what it says are seven divine freedoms taken | from the 23rd Psalm.

Lonesome Gal Sheds Famous Mask Today ' By JAMES BACON HOLLYWOOD % — Lonesome Gal, seductive-voiced radio star, performs a little strip tease today and sheds her famous mask. She has even permitted the first newspaper photos taken without her mask in the six years she has been wooing lonely males via the airwaves. The reason for the shedding is a sound one. She is shrewd enough to know that any gimmick can be overdone. Also, her fan mail has tipped her to a new. idea. When she first started, her mail, averaging 1,000 letters a month, used to be about 10 to 1 male over female. Lately, it has switched to 7 to 3 female over male. “So I decided that from now on I'll slant my show more toward the women, giving teauty hints and so forth,” she said: She has adhered so rigidly to the no-picture policy that she and her husband never before had posed together—not even for a wedding picture. Yes, fellows, Lonesome Gal has been married for four years and is quick to credit her husband for boosting her into the better than $100,000-a-year income bracket. She is Jean King Rousseau, wife of Bill Rousseau, veteran radio Lonesome Gal. They started make ing transcriptions. “When we amrried in 1944,” she recailed, “our. combined income was $90 a week. } producer and director who was one | ¥' of the originators of “Dragnet.” An attractive brunette of 29, she | was born in Dallas, Tex., but lived most of her life out here. She has been a Goldwyn girl in the movies, a radio actress, even a radio en- gineer. In 1947, she found herself | | broke and homestick for her fam- troke and homesick for her ‘amily. She went there and got herself a job on station WING as a disc jockey. Lonely in a strange town, she conceived the idea for Lone- some Gal. She stayed there for two years and decided, on an im- pulse, to come back to Hollywood. “Would you believe it?” asks. “I had an awful time. selling the show here because Hollywood, of all places, thought it was too sexy for radio. I never had that complaint in Dayton.” Then she married Rousseau, who saw the national possibilities of she | on in a $90,000 home in the San Fernando’ Valley. A studio is lo- cated by the swimming pool, and there the two make the trans¢rip- tions used by 60 stations through- out the country. Even her next-door neighbors aren’t aware that she is anything but a housewife. |It Wasn’t Bubble Gum ST.
