To The Members of the NFFF: The recent referendum has resulted in the overwhelming acceptance of the new constitution -- overwhelming that is in reference to the number of ballots cast. About three eights and over of the membership failed to vote and it resulted in barely gaining the requisite majority of the total membership in favor of adopting the new constitution. On the other hand, while there was a pronounced sentiment in favor of some change in the name of the organization even if it was only the removal of the work 'fan' there was a totally insufficient number of votes and voters. The name of the organization remains the same then. The National Fantasy Fan Federation. Have you decided to run for office this fall? Hurry, Hurry. Get your cards announcing your candidacy to me and Carlson and get your Platform in to Higgs. That's all that's necessary. No signers needed this year. Paul Spencer informs me there are added delays in production of the Hart book due to printer's and printer's estimates. But he's proving himself a real citizen of the organization in working hard on this job which at the present time is the most heart-braking one in the organization. We have not yet succeeded this year in getting fully set up the way we want to be but our efforts have resulted in increasing memberships and those can pave the way to projects next year. We need more state representatives. Lets get out the candidates: lets get out the vote in the coming election; next year we want to be able to say "we're doing fine in '49." Then too the convention next year is in Cincinnati and I'd like to see all of you members in attendance. There's hardly any excuse for any one in the Midwest failing to make it. It's a natural! the seventh world Science Fiction Convention in Cincinnati over the laber day week end. Spet. 3-4-5, 1949. Sincerely yours, Dale Tarr, pres. 1402 Scott Covington, Ky. _________________________ Since I'm running for president again for '49 I may as well use this space for campaigning. I am against any attempt at fan government; believe in persuasion rather than force as a means to legitimate ends; want to see that the NFFF is a functioning organization capable of, and giving much, to its members. While not radical in believing where and how the organization should stand, I am progressive and will listen to all ideas. Let's go ahead to a bigger and better organization in '49 and there's no better way to celebrate than by coming to The Cinvention next year.
