In the first page of your February 3 issue I was shocked and disappointed to see that you allowed to be printed a six-letter word which, in my opinion was unnecessary.
Further to the editorial by Auren Ruvinsky entitled, Live up to your image, I quote: “When someone’s house burns down people come out of the woodwork to donate and help rebuild.”
It is only recently that a tragic fire took the lives of innocent young children.
I do not think that this can be equated with some of the other remarks in this article.
Kudos to the people who are helping.
