to follow the requirements of constitution strictly, as far as credentials are concerned. Please read Article 3 before talking someone into joining; I feel very uneasy when I have to refuse anyone. Anyway, here's the revised list: 2. Jules Lazar; 3. Andy Anderson, 4. Ray Karden; 5. Graph Waldeyer (I'm not too sure that Waldeyer's credentials are good enuf, but I think he had a few items published in fanzines within a year prior to his application which was dated Dec 43); 6. Chas McNutt; 7. Beak Taylor; 8. T B Yerke; 9. Harold Wakefield(I'm not too sure here, but i think he might have had something in Light in 1943. Could you verify this, LAC?); 10. Frqnk Robinson; 11. Russ Wilsey; 12. Walt Bunkelberger; 13. Ken Bulmer; 14. Ron Lane (Will Mike Rosenblum verify his credentials? I haven't even got a letter from Lane in the Sec Treas' files.); 15 Len Marlow. Maybe if the proposed amendment tightening activity requirements is passed most of the waiting list will be real, honest-to-god members by 1946. Who can remember 'way 'way back when FAPA didn't have enuf members?

Money: We ain't got hardly no treasury so will all you guys who got DUES or EXPIRED after your names kick in NOW so that FAPA can run fairly smoothly. 34 guys, more than half the active membership, gotta renews this mailing ((One did already. --LTS)) and $34 will be a big help to the treasury. Lookit the financial report if you don't believe me.

IN     OUT     BALANCE

Cash on hand 5/25/44     18.35
Postage for June mailing     14.62     3.73
Paper and ink for June FA     2.71     1.02
Dues rec'd by NFS to 8/4/44     5.75     6.77
Surplostock sales to 8/4/44     .70     7.47

Deep and wholehearted thanks to Ackerman, Bronson, Chauvenet, Fortier, and Stanley who donated 25[[cent symbol]] each to the treasury. Also many thanks to those of you who donated money in the past. Without your help this page would have had to be mimeod in red. Is there anyone now, after looking at the financial report, who would vote No if he were asked to raise the dues to $1?

That ends the sec treas' report for this mailing. Many thanks to all you nice guys who voted for me and, so help me foofoo I'll pay you guys as soon as I can embezzle something from the treasury.

and Ass Critic's comments
on the 28th Mailing

AC: Bob Tucker

THE FANTASY AMATEUR
CC: Youd's letter is an interesting innovation. Thanks Swisher for thinking of it. Reprinting the ballot for permanent record is also thoughtful. O.K.
AC: Elegant, adequate.

FAN SLANTS
CC: Abominable stencil cutting almost ruined excellent contents.
AC: Again Kepner's long article, this time on LA affairs, is of permanent interest. Filthy misprint on page 21
