4 there? (Say, 2 people r going to resent that: Bradbury & Bloch!) Dr. Acula had better soon find some better radio programs to review, or there isn't going to be much left of him after I finish with him---and there's plenty that he could work on. For example, First Nighter a few weeks ago had a very good little fantasy on, but not a word from the good doctor. Somehow, the Grafologyarns don't seem to belong here, though I guess that I can stand them if others can too. How to Be a Successful Stf. Ed started off pretty corny, but wound up in a blaze of glory. In the Voice I was very much surprised, and just as pleased, to see our old fridn Gerty represented, for I had feared for a time that whe might have existed only in the minds of ye Eds of WT Shucks----just when I had positively identified Azygours (no, I won't say who I thought he was) Richie Wilson spoils everything by confessing... ~~ ...you're at liberty to use the above paragraph in the Voice, but not this part, please... ~~ Clear ether," TED "SCIENCE-FICTION SERVICE" CARNELL of 17 Burwash Rd, Plumstead, London SE18, England writes: "4Eyes Jack Amen 236 and one haff N New Hampshire LA Cal you say. ~~ Mon ami:It is mit ze variy mixed feelings zat I pen this missle mit you, ain't it?

Can't u manage an ish once a year even! That would be better than O. An' here's I with the best fan article I've every written--and no Madge to send it to! An article written specially for Madge, with a title so near & dear to her double-barrelled phrases. ART! I CHOKE. A Carnell-pit explosion in one stanza.

She's been the best American girl-friend we've yet had. Bear up...even tho U do feel like poisoning the Government. ~~ WHILE I REMEMBER....I wish to make an additional prize to the winner of Madge's literary comp (excluding myself, should I score top marks). To the top American I will send direct a bound copy of WORLD WITHOUT TIME, a British serial by W.J. Passhingham, which ran for about 10 weeks in the PASSING SHOW recently. While the yarn isn't exactly tops, nor the binding brilliant (it was only in a paper magazine), the yarn is certainly a rare collectors piece for USA. I doubt if there is a copy in the whole of the 48 States. (There is in Califorrynia!) ...That means it has to go to Nancy, Bob or Jack. Oke? Copy is work about $1.00 to purchase ~~ My best wishes to all the LA crowd..." RAM writes: "Best of the four manuscripts; Jack Speer's 'After 1939 -- What?' Perhaps Juffus is a little off in spots, but not nec-essarily enough to detract from the interest of the article. Second place goes to Bob Tucker's weird revelation, 'The Book of the Dead.' It's news to me. I was under the impression that HPL's NECRONOMICON and the others were purely imaginary, having no basis for their existance whatsoever. Apparently I was wrong. I did not care for the remaining two submissions at all. Carnel is all wet in his philosophy -- at least in my case. This little fan reads every word of every article or story he commences to read; skipping nothing. Not so good, Mr. Carnell. 'The Jabberwock' ; hmmmmmm. Biggest laugh of the year; the ad below the one for Shep's shop. 'He-men' -- hee, hee, hee!" (RAM is, ofcourse, Robt A Madle, prominent Philly fan of 222 E Belgrade St.) From Nell's pop DICK WILSON, 86-10 -- 117 st, Richond Hill NY, to Madge's co-ed Morojo: 'Madge's Prize Mss.' received. I should award first prise to Jack Speer for his 'After 1939--What?' It is well thought out, interesting and showed signs of exhaustive research and deep cogitation (Hear! Hear!). Second best I think is Ted Carnell's 'Fans Panned.' Bob Tucker's entry is excellent, but gives one the perhaps erroneous impression of having been paraphrased from an encyclopedia. Fluffy Featherstone's parody wasn't bad, but it lacked the touch of genius which made Carroll's ''Twas brillig...' immortal. I still think Kuttner's tops when it comes to writing odd-to-
