THE EMBLEM DID WE GET THE EMBLEM? There are many new members in NFF who dont know how and when. Here is Bob Tucker, Acting President in 1945, reporting in Oct TNFF of that year. K. Martin Carlson has suggested the NFFF acquire an emblem for us on stationary and like purpose. And suggests that the artists and others among us be invited to send in their sketches "In 1946 the final report was made, Jack Slaen of Canada, Chairman of the Emblem Committee sent along the finished drawing. Al Betts also on the committee, was in the Service at the time. Jack Slean reports; "Azure, blue the colour of the sky seemed the most appropriate tincture of all, for our field; on a chevron argent three crosses bottony gules, a cross symbolized leadership which quality has always been thout of as a very definite part of the fan character, here however, three red crosses "bottonny" or budded at the tips symbolize both leadership and growth, things proper to both a club and its members; in chief two esoiles, or two gold stars appealed as the aptest way in which to recognie the scientifictional element in N.F.F.F In the base a skull silver, completes the Blazon with an easily understood representation of the fantests and weirdists belonging to the club." "At the side of the shield is a smaller copy of it including for the purpose of indicating the emblems apperance when reduced to monochrome. An even smaller reproduction will be possible when printing. At the base of the secondary shield is a scroll left blank, to be used for the name of the organiation or whatever motto may be decided upon." Jack Slaen, Chairman of the Emblem Committee My poor artist work on stnecil will give you an idea how it looked, actual size. Walter Dunkelberger, President in 1946, had it made into four printing cuts, later condensed to three, for cheaper printing. So the stars are yellow tingue, crosses are red, and the shield and scroll are blue. Do some of you older fans remember the first run we sent out to you? It cost us plenty. Now we have had smaller cuts made up to use only on stationary and letterheads, etc. The large size will be used only on some special occasion. As I have a small printing press, I have been able to give the club very special rates on all printed material. Membership cards and many post card mailings have been printed free. As long as I am an active member of the NFFF, I will try and give printing jobs cheap to the club. Very soon you will be able to order small emblem stickers from me. Just a card will do the trick. No money necessary. Stationarary is also free, and you can order at any time. There may be a short delay in case I am out of stock at the moment. I keep your letter or card on file, until I print up a new bunch, then I ship it to you. Use your stationary and stickers when you write to a fan pal. He may be interested to join us, thus being able to get some for himself and also we will gain another member. Send all inquires to: K. Martin Carlson, Sec-Treas, 1028 - 3rd Ave, South, Moorhead, Minn
