A Spectator page letters column features readers attacking public indecency, urging police action, and urging parental responsibility. It includes critiques of fashionable dress, animal welfare concerns, views on mercy for strays, and warnings about war politics amid unemployment.
A reader urges a census of people over sixteen to determine which moving pictures are suitable for presentation to youth. The letter argues the public should guide film choices and criticizes showing content not appropriate for children.
A reader asks if replying promptly to a friend who usually waits four to six weeks is proper. The adviser suggests answering within a few days and politely noting that future replies will be timely, avoiding six to eight week delays.
A correction notes that the photograph of Miss Dorothy Mortvedt in the Spectator last week was by Anderson Photo and that the studio did not receive proper credit due to a typographical error.
