LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(1) Letters sent to the Editor for printing should preferably be typed, otherwise they must be written in ink on one side of the paper only. A legible signature and full address are required whether these are to be published or not. A P.O. box number is not a sufficient address. (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.

Wild Wooden—We have space for only one critic. One of Them. —Awaiting comment from the Regional Planning Authority. Disgusted.—The university has not yet considered the proposal. Susan C. Dawson and A Lover of All Mankind.—Too long. See rules above. S.E.G.—No space to pursue the discussion on bananas. Finest-Grade Milk.—But no name and no address. Jan Mestek.—The generalisation is too sweeping and certainly untrue. B. E. F. S. Collin. —You are under a misapprehension. We have not accepted correspondence on the encyclical. Do Unto Others.—You attribute to Mr Mackintosh the remarks of the private secretary of the Dalai Lama. Mr Mead will be welcome to reply in our columns. Curious Citizen.—The district organiser for C.0.R.5.0. (Mr R. H. French) says that since the beginning of the year Operation 21 has been re-organised under the name of Youth Against Hunger Campaign. Much of the activity is taking place in schools. For instance, St Bede’s College recently held a very successful Youth Against Hunger week which not only raised money for the hungry, but was also a means of extensive education. Similar activities are being held in other schools in the city and in Timaru. C.0.R.5.0. has a full-time organiser promoting the scheme.
