A FOOTNOTE
Sir,-Surely your reply to "Audio" (Dunedin) was not up to standard. Your columns, are left open for such comments, and "Audio" in all good faith considered he had a sound argument. Whether such argument will bear investigation or not is beside the point, but I feel justified in drawing your attention to the discourteous "brush off" you extended to this old subscriber (as he or she styled himself). I will not task you with such statements as the dairy farmer and his oats‘nor the mail car and the passengers, but I take exception to the Dunedinite burring his r’s, having porridge arid going to the Presbyterian Church. There was venom in the latter remark which was not only uncalled for, but unwarranted.
ABOVE BELT
(Wellington). /
{Our correspondent is taking us far too seriously.. "Audio’’ had every right to make his complaint, which was in no way. resented., "Brushing him off" was as far from our mind‘ as_ ill-will to the Presbyterian Church.-Ed.]
