Sam. That was my thought too. My mother, who was an old "dutchified" lady, Roger will know what I mean there, used
to call it "Wix", same thing with Winegar, etc. My oldest brother married a girl from New Orleans, met when he was in the service. After they married, they lived in our house for a few weeks before they could get an apartment. When I got a
cold, my mother told her, " don't worry, I'll chust put some wix in his nose" . Of course, this was something new, especially to a southern girl, and she couldn't figure out how she was going to do this, and how it would help my cold,
thinking all the time that she was talking about "wicks", such as candle wicks. We got a big laugh out of that one....Don
