LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(1) Letters to be considered for this column must not exceed 150 words. They should be on only one side of the paper; preferably typewritten, otherwise clearly written in ink; and ample margins and space between lines should be left for convenience in sub editing. (2) A legible signature and full address—not a P.O. box number are required, whether these are to be printed or not. (3) The correspondent must say whether the letter has been or is to be submitted elsewhere.

(4) The editor cannot return or keep any letter not accepted for printing; nor does he undertake to acknowledge or enter into correspondence concerning letters, although an acknowledgement will be made where this seems to be necessary or helpful. (5) As a general rule correspondence on news items in other publications, or carried on radio and television, is not acceptable. W. Syme.—No. Onlooker.—Closed. L. —Repetition. W. B. Bray.—Re-re-repetition. M. O’Neill.—We have heard no such rumour. Only A Game. Signature illegible. H.A.H.—You should get a better view of him on our sports page today. Only a Game.—He resigned a month ago and finished duty yesterday. Jean Kolkman.—The speculations are engaging, but would be hard on our space. Pro-Contemporary Music. —We have space for only one critic; and he at least attends the concerts he discusses. Astonished. —It is not a matter of what the Minister prefers, but of what law permits. They can be left to fight it out. Red, White, and Blue. —-You seem to be equally astray. The correct terms are Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Murray R. Ry burn.—Sorry; but we would have room for little else if we opened the column to discussion of our music, art, and drama criti ques. Ransom.—Everyone thinks his own handwriting to be unmistakably clear; everyone assumes that because the meaning he wishes to convey is clear in his own mind it will be equally clear to others.
