70 the Editor Of The Star:
The citizens of the District of Columbia evi-
IDENTIFY realize the seriousness of having taxa
tion imposed upon them without representa-
ton. AS a citizen of D. c., expected my
real estate tax to be increased 20 or Is per
cent, but instead my taxes were increased so
per cent. Does any citizen think that is fair
treatment?
We have 81 square miles of territory in our
great and glorious United States known as
Washington, D. c., the great capital of our
Nation, taxed without having a voice In the
matter.
Wake up citizens, and let's get a voice in the
personal problems here

Looking Up
Accent on English

e+VR~
Accent on English
It was more than a surpris,
when I first found out that I have
an accent Remember those first
days Of relocation when you en-
countered those people in the East
who gushed wonderingly after the
first exchange Of conversation
"Oh, you speak such GOOD Eng
hsh?"D
When I was thrown in with
some members of the British army
during my overseas stay, I found
that this GOOD" English was ac-
cented. To them, that is.
Now the English, and the Scot
tish, and the Welsh, do not speak
English as she should be spoke
at least by my standards. They
have whale of a lot of accents
and dialects, some of which are ex-
tremely difficult to figure out on
first sight-or rather first hear
ing.
so when character from the
Cockney district of London town
ups to me:
''Naow, look ere, mytey, event
you got the blinkin arc-sentl" 1t
juCt defies what I consider logic.
Another example was in CAL
cutta. It happened that one eve-
ming one of my "mytes" (spelled
mates'D dragged me out from our
billet for a cup Of tea at a nearby
service canteen. Tea, I said, not
cawfee.
! mooched over to the counter
after straining the milky lukewarm
stuff through my nostrils and
asked:
you haven't any gum, have
your
At least that's what I thought
It sounded like. To the guy across
the counter who talked as If he
had skinned his nose at one time
or another on one of Englands
playing fields 1t must have sound
ed something like this:
"Ya hav'n't gawt emmy quinn,
hav yap"
So he queries with an elegantly
raised eyebrow:
Nov wheah evan did eve get
thaht lawvely Ahmericahn ahc-
cent?"
It just happened that in my
usual informal style had neglect
ed to put up my "anada" flashes
and I must have looked like any
other Oriental around the neigh
,borhood.
: Relating this to an Ontario
friend was informed that have
a Western Canada accent. Which
Is softer and easier on the ears
than the nasal twang of Ontario,
she says. Being a native Ontario
lite, she must know. -
OF course, this Just makes 1t
more confusing, but the last part

Stanley Gaol ON Stanley penin-
