The Cover;
Meeting Santa Claus was a thrilling experience
for Karen Ray Pittman of San Antonio. For the
first time in their lives, many a Texas youngster
will own postwar trains, fancy dolls, or shining
planes. The war is over, even for Santa Claus.
7 DECEMBER 46Although TW's staff members weren't engaged
for anything except their abilities which would
fit into their work on the magazine, the editor
soon learned they had some accomplishments which
hadn't been listed in their qualifications. One
of the most confusing which popped up was the
language knowledge of the various members,
Since all had been involved in the war in one
way or another, it was quite logical that they
should have been exposed to numerous languages.
But the casual
visitor to the edi-
torial rooms some-
times found it a
little disconcerting
to be accosted with
"Ohayo gozaimasu" or
"Apa kabar". One
bewildered individ-
ual was even dis-
covered searching madly through a dictionary.
His search went unrewarded.
A checkup revealed that languages of which
staff members had a fair command included German,
Italian, Japanese, Malayan, Czech, Spanish,
various South Pacific dialects, Chinese, Dutch,
French, and a few in which the knowledge was so
smattering they weren't worth listing.
Some of this came naturally. The photo
editor was born in Germany, of course had a
mastery of that language--but meanwhile he had
added a few others.
Some came harder. One associate editor had
spent the best part of his army career trying to
master Japanese.
kabar.A-oce.. Others had studied
various languages in
school, had picked
up some linguistic
ability in the course
of the wartime wan-
derings,
So, night after
right (if the early
morning hours after putting the magazine to bed
can be called night), the linguistic ones say
farewell with "Gute nacht" or "Buenos noches" or
"Adieu" or "Oyasuminasai" or "Salamat malam" and
other variations of the same phrase--all of which
merely mean "Good night and sleep well".
The only non-linguistic member has threatened
to take up pig Latin if it doesn't stop.
