26, NEW FANDOM STF. AND NONSENSE, Published by Dan McPhail, 10 large size, mimeographed, Vol I No. 2. This is the second time that S & N has arrived a day too later to be sold at the convention. I wonder if Dan plans to make that a regular procedure? Contents are interesting. Of particular note is Walter Sullivan's sizing up of "Queens SFL vs Futurians" which the inevitable favorable slant hied toward the world's greatest SFL chapter. A listing of fans nick-names by Jack Speer is also not to be overlooked. Other editorials, articles and art-work by Dan McPhail, James & Mary Rogers, Miles McPhail, Austin Roquemore and Louis Clark. FAN MAGS BEING PUBLISHED CURRENTLY;- Fantasy News; Fantascience Digest; Spaceways; Fantasy Digest; Ad Astra; Cosmic-Scienti-Tales (see below) Scienti-Snaps; The Science Fiction Collector; The Science Fiction Fan; (see below for both of above); Le Zombie; Fan-facts; Voice of Imagination; Makros; Futuria Fantasia; The Fantasy Amateur Press Association continues as usual; Fantaseer; Nova (see below) Escape (see below); PSFS News DISCONTINUATIONS AND SUSPENSIONS:- The Science-Fiction News-letter has been dropped after publishing 76 weekly editions.

Litz was dropped after [?] issues (see changes); My Time Annihilator published by Litz was dropped after one issue; Outre' published by Litz was combined after two issues (see changes); News from England informs that the only printed fanmag, "The Futurian" will be discontinued after almost two years of publication because of war conditions; there have been no definite statements but we assume the war will mean discontinuation or at least temporary suspension of the following British publications New Worlds, The Sattellite, The Fantast; and we assume the proposed weird fan mag Macabre will also share the same fate; Australian Fans Items, first Australian fan magazine discontinued publication after one unsuccessful issue; Nova, will be discontinued before or by its second issue, and with it The Science Fiction Times, The Science-Fantasy Advertiser, Science Fiction Esquire and D'Journal, which composed the hetregenious publication; CHANGES & INFORMATION: - The second anniversary issue of "Cosmic Tales" will be the last published by Kuslan.
