Letters to the Editor

(1) Letters submitted for printing in this column must not exceed 150 words. They should be written in ink or preferably typed on one side of the paper. Ample space must be left in the margins and between lines for sub-editing marks. (2) Letters written over pen-names or initials will not ordinarily be considered for publication. A legiblesignature ana full postal address — not a P.O. Box number — are essential. (3) The correspondent must say whether the letter has been or is to be submitted elsewhere. The Editor does not undertake to acknowledge, hold, return or enter into correspondence on any letter not accepted for publication. (4) Address letters to the Editor, “The Press,” P.O. Box 1005 Christchurch.

G. Not over a pen-name, and in any case far too long. See above. R.W. — Insufficient address. No space for disputed sports selections. B.R.—Verse not acceptable. J.W.—Too personal. L.L.—Your letter did not reach us until two days ago. It had to be reduced to conform to rules. H. The news item was not seen by a big majority of our readers so your complaint would puzzle them.
