(.1) You have written on both sides of the paper; (2) you havq added :to the heinousness of «this oflence by using an ink pencil, on glazed paper.» A paper bag is’ “over the odds” as 9. medium for writing; (3) the writing is illegible and the composition eXeora.ble_; (4; you write under a. nom de plume and neglect to enclose your name as a guarantee of good faith; (5) you should remember abuse is not argument——personal scurrility in These columns is almsnlu-tely blocked: (6) and ..thc-n you are “barking up the wrong tree." However, we would have allowed you to “bark” had it been according to the rules which you have so flag'an:*ly violafed. To ncwzspaper corl'esp‘ondents- we might give the hinf that pencil copy, particularly ink pencil, is anathema to both the sub—oditor and eumpositors.
