---- ACLHEMIST ---- 3 AS THE ALCHEMIST SEES IT HAIL AND FAREWELL! Charles Ford Hansen Perhaps that is a bit trite, but under the circumstances perhaps we may be forgiven. Yep, this, tho it hurts like hell to have to say it, is the last issue of The Alchemist. Or the last at least, until Fall. We like to think that we will resume publication in the late Autumn, but the chances are rather remote. So I will try to say everything necessary on these two pages and bid our adieus to all you fans who have supported us so loyally. With more work piling up all the time on the Denvention, Lew will have no time to devote to Al, Roy is now very busy, and in a few days I will be back at work on the coast again. Therefore, Al must close the books at least temporarily. We had some grand plans for a January issue, followed by a big, gala, annissue this month, but you no doubt remember what Robert Burns said about "The best laid plans of mice and men..." Well Bobbie was right and ours did just that. Sickness on the part of the editors, and likewise with the typewriter spiked our guns very effectively. Those of you who have balances on your subscriptions, and there are many of you, will receive your money in a few days. To you fellows we all want to say: Thanks a lot for your support, it helped us over the rough spots. Had it not been for you Al might have folded earlier and less gracefully. To you other fan editors, our exchanges to say: We will be missing you - some of you that is - and it will seem strange not having you coming in as of yore. We will subscribe to as many of you as possible, but, alas, we cannot subscribe to all. Some we must do without and you will be missed. We hope
