ZB's Plan Quiz for Juveniles
HE four ZB stations and Station 2ZA (Palmerston North) will shortly open a weekly session called the Quiz Kids, along the lines of programmes which have become popular in America and more recently in Australia. Five schoolchildren between the ages of 12 and 15 years will take part, each receiving a weekly fee of a guinea, A guest "quiz kid," receiving the same appearance money as the others will,be introduced to answer (if he can) questions missed by the other five. There will be a jackpot (familiar term to poker devotees) of £5 a week. If the guest has only one question to answer, and manages it, he will share the jackpot on a fifty-fifty
basis with the others, but if he answers two or more questions he will take the £5. Questions will be invited from listeners who, for every one used and answered will receive 5/-. and 10/- for a question used but unanswered. The quizmaster will be Jack Maybury. As the session is expected to last some time, contestants reaching the age of 16 years will drop out, to be replaced by a younger school pupil. All questions will be useful, covering history, geography, industrial matters, elementary science, ‘mathematics and physics. Starting dates for this programme are: 2ZB, Friday, May 14; 1ZB, Friday, May 21; 3ZB, Friday, May 28; and 4ZB, Friday, June 11-at 7.0 p.m. from each station,
