LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
(V Letters to be considered for this column must not exceed 150 words. They should be on onlv one side of the paper; preferably typewritten, otherwise clearly written tn 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.
T. I. Phipps.—Possibly actionable, certainly offensive. R. L. Smith and H. W. U. Haddow.—lt is still sub judice. Observer.—Our copy of the Government Statistician’s release arrived in yesterday’s mail. See news item today. Pleased and Hopeful.—No space to discuss evolution or milk bottle tops now. No. 3 referred to Pandora. John Goodwin.—Pressure on space, rising costs, and limited readership interest have compelled us to curtail a number of such news items.
