WOODSTOCK THEATRE FRIGHT !NIGHTI Pit bull ban approved DEAR ABBY: The origin of "OK" has nothing to do with Martin Van Buren's nickname, "OldKinderhook." It comes form "Olla" and "Kalla"--the first letter of each word--which means "All Good," or "OK" in Greek. JACK KRUSH, AURORA, ILL. DEAR ABBY: I submit that the term "OK" originated in the early days of shipbuilding on the East Coast. In building a ship, the first stop was laying the keel. Subsequently all other parts were measured and installed, based on the keel. If a part was installed correctly, it was said to be "On Keel"--hence the term "OK."

When Max and I were living together, Ethel refused to come to our apartment, so if I wanted to see her, it had to be somewhere else. I left Max two months ago, partly because Ethel convinced me I would be better off without him. She was ecstatic when I left Him. (Do you hate to write letters because you don't Know what to say?

It's a high percentage, sure, but a percentage still. Airline executives take great pains to mask that fact from you. Whenever there's a crash, like the Delta jet that went down in Dallas last week, they rush out there with reams of statistics proving that air travel is safer than driving to work. It's safer than walking the dog, they say. It's safer than drinking milk. Right. Then how come air travel doesn't feel safe? How come there's that moment, Just before you land, when .that little voice inside says, "Did you remember to send in your life insurance premium?" Don't get me wrong, I'm not one -of those white-knuckle fliers. I used .to be, but I got over it. I'm a gray- •knuckle flier. My attitude toward lair travel is not unlike that of the late Halsey Hall, the Minneapolis •baseball announcer, who was once heard at an airline reservation desk paying: "I'll take one chance to Chicago." ; The point is, I am not contemptu­ ous of white-knuckle fliers. It could very easily be that they are unable to overcome their fear of flying be­ cause they are smarter than the rest of us. ; Certainly airlines do not treat their passengers as though they pos­ sessed much intelligence. Have you ever listened, really listened, to that little spiel on "emergency proce­ dures" they give you before the plane takes off? . "Please note the location of the Emergency exits on either side of the plane. In case of a severe crash, you will be expected to leave by those doors. In the event the crash occurs in the North Atlantic, do not forget to take your seat cushion with you as it is a flotation device." Or words to that effect. ; Who are they trying to kid? I remember a similar lecture I re­ ceived in the Navy from a chief petty officer who was about to lead us onto an airplane: ; "In the case of an emergency, I want you to bend forward, grab your ankles with both hands and put your head between your legs. Then kiss your fanny goodbye. There ain't no way we're going to survive a crash in this crate." Or words to that effect. I myself never rush to catch a plane. I figure if God wants me to miss a plane, perhaps He's got a Good Reason. On the other hand, I'm beginning to have some doubts about His judgment. In that Dallas crash, the people who survived were those in the back of the plane, the smoking section. Imagine having your life saved by I don't smoke cigarettes, but I think I'm going to fly in the smoking section from now on. It may not save my life, but at least I'll be among the last to arrive at the scene of the accident. © 1965 TRIBUNE MEDIA SER­ VICES, INC.
