It is for this reason that I want to join the 17-21 Club
What are the rules and regulations I have to obey? There is a particular grievance which I want to call to yQUE attention, however. I have noticed that for quite some time hou your Mailbox has been filled with nauseating letters from a certafil correspondent by the name of Zachary McIntyre. 11⁄2 suppose he does not realise that he is occupying valuable column space with all his silly questions.

What is he trying to be another N. T. Chow? Maybe Zachary enjoys the thrill of seeing his print. Or perhaps ol' Zack is really sincere after all.-
In any case, I'm sure you editors would welcome a from him.
To Mr McIntyre whatever your real intentions may be, my advice to you consists of but two words; LAY OFF!--Zamán Aziz Mangharm, Kowloon,
The rples
You're in, Zaman, and thanks for the compliment. are printed on this page today. As for your grievance, all we can say is that every member is entitled to air his views in this calunn and we are always happy to answer questions concerning the club. Over to you, Zachary!
Hay matter of rect vi theory that the Abominable Snowman [AVEN'T you received my entry to the Yeti contest yet? As
is a bear) was completed and mailed long ago only four days after it first appeared in your column.
Unfortunately, I do not have an extra copy of my own work. If you don't get it, never mind. It wasn't well written in any
case.
May I venture another suggestion? I don't think the Yeti contest is a good idea, since most people consider writing eays too troublesome. Consequently they feel reluctant to join.
I feel sure that it would be much more interesting to have quizzes, crossword puzzles or anyhing that requires a mixir.ú of thinking and a minimum of penwork.
One final idea-why don't you award credit cards to winners. instead of cold currency? Since a credit card can't be wrin more than $1 each, it would be feasible to hold as many as one contest each week. Thank you for permitting me to voice my opinions.-Zachary McIntyre, Kowloon.
No, Zachary, we haven't received your entry. All the entries have been re-checked, but yours is not among them,” As for your comment on the contest, all we have to say is that the number of members who have sent in their entries disproves your theory that essays are too troublesome." Contests held too often lose thefr appeal, we think.
