TT isn't *often you come across a real *■ dinkum ping-pong expert m the flesh, but Ronald Keith Wylie was runner-up for the Auckland championships last year. But that's starting at the -wrong end of the story, because with "R.K.W." work comes first. He's secretary of N.Z. Perpet ual Forests, Ltd. Born m Hong Kong, he went over Home m the very tender years of childhood and later came out here. After two years down ori the farm, during which time he roughed it out rabbit poisoning, R.K.vv. decided that accountancy offered the I s right prospects for him. Later he went to the U.S., landed an auditing job m a lumber camp just outside Seattle, and thus first learned about timber. Until a season or two ago, he played cricket for Grafton senior,' and m pre-war days used to punt the leather about for the V.M.C.A. Soccer team.
