SCOTS ON THE AIR
Sir-I wish to endorse the remarks made by the correspondent "A Borderer in Arms." In addition to the names mentioned I heard Lanark pronounced Larnack, and Dumfries, which should be Dumfreece, pronounced Dumfries. In a place like New Zealand where there are so many Scottish people, and so many of Scottish descent, surely it would be wise for commentators to ascertain the proper pronunciation of Scottish place names before going on the air.
