AMONG THE many visitors to Head-
quarters this summer were the. “Quiz
Kids,” the quartette of juvenile screen and
radio stars who, with Joe Kelly as Master
of Ceremonies delight a coast-to-coast
audience of ten million people every Sun-
day night through 132 Blue Network
stations.

Invited to the Capital city to lend their
efforts on behalf of the Kinsmen Milk
Fund, the youngsters—accompanied by
their parents—had a great time making
first hand acquaintance with many of
their Canadian admirers. Prior to their
open air performance in Victoria’s jam-
packed MacDonald Park, the kids lunched
at Government House as guests of His
Honour the Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs.

Woodward.

Most experienced performer on Quiz
Kid programmes is 15-year-old Richard
Williams, who is in the 10th grade at Roose-
velt High School, East Chicago, Indiana.
Richard has been four years on the pro-
gramme, and he specializes in mathematics,
geography and current events. Richard
learned to read when he was 2, played
rummy (and kept the score) at four. He
is a spelling expert (he defeated the U.S.
champion when the latter appeared as a
guest on the Quiz Kids programme), and
musically he has perfect pitch. He can
distinguish any note played on the pianc.
Measured by standards other than the
Quiz Kids programme, Richard stands
forth with incandescent brightness. Uni-
versity of Chicago psychologists found his DS
I.Q. to be higher than that of any other
child examined. In a test for U.S. Army
Aviation cadets he scored 108 (80 is pass-
ing), and in the Eddy test for navy radio

technicians he scored 75 (60 is passing),
and in a music aptitude test Indiana State
Teachers’ Collége gave him the highest
grade ever recorded.

Ruth Duskin, only girl on the pro-
gramme, is 11 years old, four feet five
inches tall and weighs seventy pounds. She
is in the 6th Grade at Parkside School,
Chicago, and is one of the two out of 108
children who this year qualified for a schol-
arship at University of Chicago High
School which she will soon enter.

Ruthie has a mind like a steel trap,
