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. 4 Letters must not be of more than 150 words in length. Fair Play.—Sub Judice. Golden Dollar.—Not suitable. J. M._ Boote.—No more space can be given to this subject. A Little Seal.—Thank you. Your views will be borne in mind. Granddad.—Personal attacks not encouraged. Suffering Taxpayer.—More than adequately discussed over many years. Common Sense— The possibility will not be overlooked by the’ Road Tunnel Authority. Toff.—The use of this nom de plume might lead to wrong assumptions about your identity. ' Snap Out Of It.—No space for another correspondence on television now. Wide Awake.—The objections will be considered by the Local Government Loans Board and its technical advisers. This is My Story.—No space for general discussion. Accredited spokesmen for the churches, on the other hand, have access to our news columns. Mespot.— “A Memoir of Samuel Butler,” by 11. Festing Jones, in volume one, page 15.1, says: “In reversing the letters of 'nowhere’ Butler treated WH as a single irreversible symbol.” Etiquette.—We have no space for a debate on the wider question. Politeness requites the use of a person's title in addressing him unless he has indicated that he prefers it not to be used. F.C.—What are your reasons for talking about “Rincontrolled expansion”? The' lease and use of the facilities at Harewood are regulated by an agreement with the New Zealand Government. Saturday Worker.—A spokesman for the Labour Department said it is impossible to answer the question without knowing the circumstances. You should apply directly to the department, giving details of your employment.
