Public Opinion

Letters sent to the Editor for printing must be written in Ink on one side of the paper only and writers must send in their names and addresses in full whether they wish these to be printed or not. When a pen-name Is used, the writer should sign his real name on a separate sheet or at the foot or his letter where it can be cut oft before the letter passes out of the Editor s hands. Writers must say clearly whether or not their letters are being, or have been sent to other papers. The Editor cannot return or keep any letter which, for any reason, is unsuitable for printing, nor can he acknowledge unsuitable letters, although this will be done where It seems to be needful, or enter into any correspondence about letters sent In. DISGUSTED.—You should make your complaint to the committee Or to the board. OUT THE PORT HOLE.—How do you now that these particular sheep were in the condition you describe? PENSION.—Your letter was referred to the registrar of the Social Security Department at Invercargill, who said that if the mother was to be provided for under the will, the income therefrom would have to be deducted from the age benefit. However, the benefit would not be affected if the son was to provide only a home for his mother.
