A WORD FOR THE ANNOUNCERS
Sir-I’m very amused sometimes at the letters in your paper about the pronunciation of radio announcers. We sat here one evening recently and listened while an announcer read the Hon. W. Nash’s statement on Farm Debits. I’ve been used to farmers nearly all my life, and I don’t know one person who could have read this statement with such clearness, bringing out each point as it should be, Pve heard that announcer give out bad as well as good news with just the right inflexion. He is a trained man, but his voice is flexible, As I sit and listen to the different announcers, I mark the accent. Training can do a lot, but it is the accent that counts,
FAIRPLAY
