Legendary radio 'King of Quiz'
'After making landfall in '62 from a five-week sea voyage to a strange land, we were often asked if we were related to a Ralph Dearnley, legendary radio King of Quiz, which possibly gave us a bit of reflected kudos. Although I don't recall ever having heard Ralph's radio broadcasts, I looked him up tonight for the first time in our newspaper files. Not a lot there, and I am sad to report that he died in 1987 aged 72 in Poland after attending a session there of the World Esperanto Congress. The fairly brief mention of his passing reported that he had been a regular panel on the (state broadcasting corporation's) National Programme quiz show, Stump the Brains Trust, and held "numerous prizes" for his powers of recall.
There is also a more fullsome story on the file dated 17 Dec 1969 and headlined "Third World Quiz Win in Row to NZ".
This piece described how the Wellington "wizards of quiz" Mr E.R.Dearnley and a Mr J.W.Winchester took New Zealand to its third successive win in an international radio programme "World Quiz '69". The pair reportedly competed in the finals with teams from Britain and Australia after a 13-week series.

MILTON TALKED.
Dear Percy Flage, — Milton talked about the present invasion some 300 years ago:
Oh, how comely it is and how reviving
To the spirits of just men long oppressed,
When God into the hands of their deliverer
Puts invincible might
To quell the mighty of the earth, the oppressor.
With winged expedition
Swift as the lightning glance he executes
His errand on the wicked, who surprised
Lose their defence distracted and amazed.
Best wishes,
