\ Letters To S
5 Tfie Editor
Dear Editor;
I would like to bring to
your attention an error on a
figure in your last issue,
titled IT C votes relief for
mushrooms The error is
where P F U’s Leonard
Zemaitis encourages other
organizations in the
Coalition to write Carter a
letter for stricter quantity
limit, and it went on to state
50 tons The figure 50 tons is
incorrect it should state, “50
million pounds”
I would like to express my
gratitude to you and your
staff for the concern and the
up-to-date covering of the
great work your staff has
done on this mushroom
problem, or should I say
problems
