Book That Makes. Pronunciation Easy

TO PROTECT announcers from criticism the B.B.C. recently published a list of more than 2,000 “recommenda- tions regarding the pronunciation of some British family names and titles."

✓

Houceforth every announcer will have this book be- side him when he is preparing an announcement or News Bulletin. It may also be bought at B.B.C. offices by any listener, price 18. 6d.

Professor A. Lloyd James collected all the pronunciation in- formation for the B.B.C.'s Advisory Committee on Spoken Eng- lish.

People with odd names were invited to co-operate. · Actually every one of the names in the book has been checked up with the people concerned so as to ensure

accuracy.

Here are a few examples taken 3 Sisters Marry

WOOL GROWERS AND STATE CONTROL

WELLINGTON.

While the Poverty Bay and East Coast Sheepowners' Union was oppos ed to the principle of Government; control in the marketing of wool, It was suggested at the annual meeting that wool growers might find it ex- pedient to usk for some control by the State.

The reason given in support of this was that all primary products, except meal and wool, were given some measure of subsidy or were controlled to some extent by the Government, and that producers of wool and meat were suffering as a result. SOUTHERN RHODESIA |REGISTRATION OF ALL
