Kingdom is a circular letter from a ls lo.nS overdue to control pos-well-known correspondence college slDle exP'itation of the desire of Employer seeks executive Executive seeks employer Sir, 1 have no wish to enter Into a public controversy with Dr Peach, but I feel that some of the assertions in his letter of February 9 must not go unanswered. Dr Peach accuses me of cynically claiming virtuous intentions and goes on to say The facts are that the land offered to the club is well away from the roads and far from doing anything to keep it there ihe club had no option." This statement fs quite untrue. Negotiations for land in the neighbourhood have been in progress for upwards of twelve months and the club has been offered numerous fields by several different landowners, many of them bordering on public roads. The site it is proposed to acquire has a considerable border on a public road, but the club intends to keep the flying area well awav from this boundary. The original objection to the airstrip by Dr Peach and others was mainly on the grounds of noise.

Having now realised (no doubt partly as a result of the demonstration on January 31 which, incidentally, was organised at the request of tha Peak Park Planning Board) that, in his own words, the noise is inconsiderable," he has shifted his ground to that of nuisance caused by the public. His sweeping condemnation of city dwellers and contemptuous references to British crowds are unworthy of hiin and scarcely to be taken seriously. However, it is worth recording that in 25 years of dealing with spectators at Camphill (less than a mile away) no public nuisance has ever been caused. On the subject of crowds Dr Peach's letter is completely contradictory. He suggests a large car park with free and well sign-posted access." Surely this can only attract and encourage crowds, and yet later he complains bitterly about crowds, their behaviour, the mobile coffee bars, the icecream carts, the fish and chip stalls, and all the other amenities sic demanded by the British crowds." Incidentally there has never been any suggestion of such amenities appearing at Camphii), so why at Stanley Moor Fears of large crowds gathering at the new site are quite unfounded.

Aero-towed launching is less spectacular to watch than the winch or catapult launching at Camphill, and the scale of activity at the new site will be about one tenth of that at Camphill. Activity will in any case only take place when weather conditions warrant it, which will almost certainly be on less than half the weekends in the year. For the remainder of the time the land will be in agricultural occupation. Dr Peach has not shown any interest in the club or even visited it for over twenty years, but perhaps he might care to demonstrate his lack of enmity by donating another L. du Garde Peach trophy to be awarded for the best flight from the new site Yours faithfully, J.

London SW 18. Secondly, your report might well One outstanding fact made the managing director choose The Observer for his appointments advertisement: a uniquely large percentage of the highly-qualified, highly-trained men and women who read The Observer are mature, yet under 40. Although space in The Observer costs considerably less than in the other main serious Sunday, The Observer actually has more readers in the all-important 25-34 age-group. Right across the younger age-groups, all the way from 16 to 44, The Observer reaches people at less cost. That's the theory.

In practice, he is delighted with the volume of response to his advertisement. And the quality. Cadet Forces Historic buildings This young executive, as it happens, had read The Observer regularly for some time before he thought of looking for a better paid and more responsible post. When he had made his decision, he watched the appointments columns of The Observer keenly. The opportunity he was looking for came soon.

Not surprisingly, for The Observer carries many more column inches of appointments advertisements than any other Sunday newspaper, and has led in this field for years. The jobs advertised in The Observer are, over the whole field of industry, engineering, commerce and thepro-fessions, at or very near the top. Sir, A recent correspondent called Sir, The Minister of Town and for the abolition of the Combined Country Planning recently declared Cadet Forces in our schools on the himself well satisfied with the existing grounds that they are a time-wasting machinery for preserving buildings element."
