I'D like to ask a few questions about the Club. Firstly, what is

the reason for the existence of the Club .... why was it form- ed in the first place? Do the regular writers-Kate O'Reilly, David Lan, etc., actually write solely for the Club or have their articles been adopted from other leading newspapers?' If we wished to correspond with the above-mentioned people, how could we de so? Are ALL articles, illustrations and poems submitted by Club mem- bers accepted immediately, or do they have to pass through a panel of judges who determine whether a particular contribution is good enough for publication? You must admit that not all of us are gifted with the power of pen or brush. It would be very unfair to those whose best efforts do not amount to much. This problem is neatly solved in the Children's Corner, where the age of the contributor is considered. In our case. this is impracticable.
