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. Margaret Collier.—Closed. Citizen.—Write to the L.R.C. L. Gordon.—No space to pursue the discussion on rodeo in this column. Actions Speak Louder Than Words.—But not necessarily any more wisely. Kiwi.—You will need to be more specific before such a letter can be considered. Still Praying.—No space for another correspondence on prayers for rain. Ratepayer.—No; of course it is not. You should report the matter to the County Council. or the Ministry of Transport. If You Don’t Like Gaol Keep Out.—Do you really think the occasional overcrowding of a single, intimate and presumably affectionate family is to be compared with overcrowding of criminals in a prison?
