OUR CROSSWORDS
Sir,-In common, I am sure, with many hundreds of your readers, I should like to express my appreciation of the excellent work of your crossword composer, R.W.C. To compose even one respectable crossword puzzle is beyond the powers of most of us, but to sustain such a high level of skill over such a long period is an achievement. In my profession I have had to acquire a fairly wide range of general knowledge, and I also have a good reference library. IT find it takes me from fifteen minutes to about an hour and a-quarter to solve the puzzles, and I count it time well spent. R.W.C. is most ingenious in his clues and anagrams, but very fair, and on only two or three occasions have I been completely "stumped." Long may he pros per and also your entertaiming journal. y
