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; preferablv 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 acknow ledge 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.

M.E. —No space for such a discussion. Baby Bunting.—No space for post-mortems on sport. Disillusioned Nationalist. No doubt it will be carefully considered. Ex-Kiwi.—Your club—or any other—can take up the matter with the board of control. No space here. For Jerusalem.—We referred your inquiry to the Israeli Government office in Australia but have not yet received a reply. Priorities First.—Correspondence on the Commonwealth Games not now open. If you have specific complaints about city services, we would be prepared to seek comment on them. Mrs I. Campbell.—The Meteorological Department rules firmly for September 1 as the beginning of spring. This is necessarily rather arbitrary and is no doubt related more to weather and climate than to the earth’s relationship to the sun.
