THE

THE regular "Notes on Notes" column-by Carl Myatt is very well written. But last week he wrote that Ted Thomas has no "Club." I disagree with this.. Ted had a club at this time last year, it was the famous "Radio Clubhouse," which was the Arst club ever for teenagers in Hongkong. How could anyone forget it? Although it was not exactly like the "Hi Fi Club" or the "Ten to Twenty Club" in the number of members, it could stand on the same level with these two. Finally I want to remind Mr Myatt that Bill Dorward of Radio Hongkong is always popular, no matter if he has a club of not-Laucila Szeto, Hongkong.

I see, Louella, that you're one of Ted's many fans, and a very loyal one at that. However, Ted Thomas has no club at present, although it is agreed wholeheartedly that "Radio Clubhouse" was the predecessor of all Hongkong's teenage clubs, as such.

DOES

OES your Club have membership cards for enrolled members?|

What would be the benefits of a credit card? Why don't you start some other contests besides essays and compositions? Please answer these questions, if you don't mind. Thank you-Ricky. Chan, Hongkong.
