Does ping-pong have officials?

Some years ago I was working as an editor of a small-town weekly paper and I liked to take news items from years past and see how far the town had come. In one of these older issues there was a letter to the editor complaining that the youth of the day were whiners. They did not know the meaning of work, were afraid to commit themselves and were being coddled by over-protective parents who didn't want their kids to have to break a sweat over anything. the letter writer was afraid for the future, given the condition of the youth at the time.
The letter was written in 1938. I think the youth of the time acquitted themselves well over the next 7 years.
