ADS news and newsletter

[AAllan at AOL.COM]

At last the big September issue of the ADS newsletter is available online. Go
to our website

http://www.americandialect.org/

and you'll find its 28 pages available as a pdf download.

It announces in detail the program of the January Annual Meeting in Atlanta,
remembers Allen Walker Read and Donald Lance, tells about the new DARE Volume
4 and invites help with items for Volume 5, lists our members, gives
abstracts of papers presented at regional meetings, announces new books by
ADS members, and reminds readers of the Dec. 1 deadline for proposals for
next May's Dictionary Society meeting at Duke University.

  Hard copies are being created by the printer and should go out to members
by first-class mail later this week.

  I apologize for the lateness. - Allan Metcalf
