THE QUIZ KIDS
Sir,-Pot-hunting questioners-mostly women-who are chasing the ten bob by sending in an almost unanswerable question to the Quiz Kids, will kill all interest in this rematkably popular session if they are allowed to continue. Anyone can open a dictionary at random and immediately come across an outlandish word of Greek or Roman or Hebrew or Sanskrit derivation that may never be seen again outside a dictionary. It’s not fair to these youngsters. On a recent Friday night at the Auckland session these pot-hunters were in full force, and many listeners were amazed that those responsible for the passing on of the questions to the Quiz Master didn’t use a bit of common sense in their selection.
