} Dear Ann Landers: You are probably fed up with letters about the
* various accents of people whe live in different parts of the United
$ States. I hope you can stand one more.

According to a piece by Donald Allen of North American
Newspaper Alliance, pronunciation can spell the difference
between life and death.

In the last war, a New England-reared Naval Reserve officer
was put in command ofa ship manned almost entirely by members

, of a Louisiana Naval Reserve unit. After a brief cruise, the ship

Remember Murphy's Law?
Here are a Few Variations

All of us old enough to
know what it means to “allde
down the razor blade of life,"
are familar with Murphy's
Law: “If things can, as Tom
Leter puts it, possibly get
worse—they will.”

Herewith some variations
on Murphy's Law:

1, If you drop a plece of
buttered bread on the floor, it
will fall with the buttered side

‘down,

2. If you get up in the
middle of the night without
turning ona light, the furniture
in the room will have changed
position and you will ram your,
foot into something and fall
over it, (Would you believe

foot on the claws of a bear rug.
Tt took six stitches.)

8, If you throw a match
out of the car it will start a
forest fire. But if you try to
light a camp fire it will take two
boxes of matches, .

4. If you watch a pot on
the stove it will take a long time
to'come to a boil. But if you go
into the next room for a second,
it will boil over.

6. If you have been wait-
ing all afternoon near the phone
for a-certain call, :the phone

to go to the bathroom.

Or, ifyou make a mad dash

Dear Ann Landers: I finally know what the word “chutzpah”
means although I am a WASP from Andover, Mass,, and the
persons involved are WASP neighbors. :

Anice boy who lives down the street agreed to water my hy,
assortment of plants while I was in Europe for a six-week vacation.
We worked out a mutually agreeable financial arrangement and
this 18-year-old appeared responsible and pleased.

When I returned I found four empty Italian flower pots
smashed to smithereens on the tile floor.-His mother, Mrs. Z,

appeared moments later and shrieked, “How dare you keep, _

expensive pots in a place where a 19-year-old can bump into them
and break them so easily? How could you be so thoughtless and
careless? You should be ‘sshamed of yoursellt”

I replied, “I think you're crazy.” It has taken me two months
to view this situation calmly. Wasn't that the height of chutzpah?
