English Slang and Politics
Interests Gervcds Soldier i
r GERVAIS CpL Dale E. Jones,
grandson of Mrs. Clara Jones and
Mrs. Lula Wynn, has written an
interesting letter from England,
giving some of the expressions
used by the English people.
Toa know some of the Eng
lish slang amuses me" lie de
clares. Tor Instance a board-
lng house la commonly referred
to as a 'digs. To give someone
the poke' Is to fire hlm. When
Mrs. Long, the stenog In our of
fice, rets exasperated, she says
Oh, blow which seems to have
abovt the same strength of dar
nit No one ever buys a beef
roast They buy a Joint of beef.
Ton don't buy theatre tickets or
railroad tickets yon book them.
The sidewalk Is called either
the path or the pavement. When
yon go to the theatre instead of
line up you queue up. The street
light post Is a pillar of fire. Tour
ear has lamps, not lifhta, the
fenders are wings, the hood is a
bonnet and the top is the hood.
: The left side of a ear Is the near
side and the right side is the
- offside. !
"There is really quite a bit of
American political news in the
English papers. Of course! lots of
the British can't understand why
we are even having an election
during wartime. I have found it
interesting to ; follow the English
political news,' There have been
a couple of by elections in a cou
ple of districts that; have wide
spread attention here. The few by
elections here are considered im
portant, politically speaking, be
cause it has been so long since the
last' general election. In one dis
trict the election they had was the
first one since 1929.
Marine's Family r
Hear of Battle
?.
From Chaplain
ZENA Mi, and Mrs. Milton
Stephens have received an inter
esting letter sent March 25 from
Chaplain Douglas Vernon, US ma
rine corps concerning their ' only
son, Pfc. Raymond M. Stephens,
formerly of Zena. He was a ma
chine gunner aboard an amphibi
an tractor engaged in the assault
upon Tarawa. ' ;
Although opposed by heavy
enemy fire, this tractor reached
the beach on the morning of No
vember 20, 1943. There Pfc. Ste
phens was hit and killed instant
ly by shots from Japanese rifles.
His body was burled in grave
No. 56, row B, central division,
cemetery, Tarawa atoll, Gilbert Is
lands. On that occasion the cus
tomary, burial service was con
ducted by a marine ; corps chap
lain. .
"It was perservering courage of
heroes like your son which made
the victory of Tarawa possible,"
Chaplain Vernon wrote. "No page
in marine corps history is more
glorious than that which bears the
name of your son." 's

alJOE'S
I don't believe that 'Mrs. Min
iver" could be called representa
tive of the general scene here. It
might be more representative of
the upper middle "class, however,
as the Miniver's rather luxurious
home, etc, definitely isnt average.
Another thing, the part of the no
bility in English life was, I believe
overemphasized i Aa lar. as I can
tell, the average person over here
doesn't pay any more attention to
nobility here than they do in the
states. There is duke who has
an-estate about two miles out of
the city he really has a famous
title. You would recognize it if I
could tell you. But no one seems to
know a thing about himand they
care less." : '.-?)-
