LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

1. Letters sent to the Editor for printing must be written in ink on one side of the paper only and writers must send in their names and addresses in full, whether they wish these to be printed or not. 2. Writers must say clearly whether or not their letters are being or have been sent to other papers. 3. The Editor cannot return or keep any letter which for any reason is unsuitable for printing, nor can he acknowledge unsuitable letters, although this will be done where it seems to be needful, or enter into any correspondence about letters sent in. 4. Letters must not be of more than 150 words in length. Christchurch Admirer.—No name, no address; see rules above. G.S.J. (Oamaru). —Thanks; but it adds nothing to the medical endorsement of "Swimmer's" letter. Disgusted.—Far better ring the party headquarters and make the facts known. Constant Reader.—Write and ask. The usual practice is to mount replies on a standard-size sheet of stout paper, which can be punched and inserted in a loose-leaf holder. Alternatively, the .mounts are kept in a sectional portfolio or folder. Make Sure.—Your memory is at fault: Garfield's is the story of “From Log Cabin to White House.” Lincoln had become a leading member of the Illinois bar, practising in Springfield, before he turned back to politics (over the slavery issue) and was nominated as presidential candidate.
