5 be prohibitive. ~~ I have an Edi-phone in the family with some partially used recording rolls, so I could furnish the original experimental roll. Also willing to send the first message. There is the whole thing in a VOM shell. Now, who wants to try it? (This is quite an Edi-fying idea. Dicta-tors espeshly shoud take to it! VOICE of the Imagi-nation..!) ~~ Ex-LA fan George Tullis (hi, Tully!), now residing here in Chicago and attending CCSFL meetings, traded me, among many other fan mags...some MADGE's my files lacked... #1 MADGE... So, with IMAGINATION finally complete after all this time, I'm content. ~~ Mite rite again for #5 VOM, if you'll have me. ~~ T'is 1 A.M. & I'm pretty bleary. Hope this letter is coherent. Happy '40's to U!!" (Have U? We want U, Marky! Your letters always welcome. --Morojo & Forry) [signature] Joseph [illegible] [/signature] of 3805 1/2 Pk, Columbia, S Car, devoted a portion of New Yr's Day to adresing the Imagi-nation, having this to say: "My opinion, stand, and final statement on the so-called exclusion act. ~~ If, the behavior of the scapbox boys had been merely within the bounds of decency, then any exclusion because of differences of opinion, personal dislike, or anything of that sort, would not have happened. The entire thing was was entirely unpremeditated, where the New Fandom lads are concerned, I sincerely believe. But the behavior of the futuries was obvious deliberately designed towards sabotage. They were out to stir up trouble, and they were going to stir up trouble, whether they permitted to enter or not. They've stirred up enough outside now, what they would have done inside is a matter of conjecture. It wouldn't have been pleasant I know. There isn't anything subtle about the above, but the time has long gone by for subtlety. If anyone has any doubts lefts as to the intentions of the futuries, then I invite their attention to the Philly Con. ~~ Then too, while all this childish uproar over fair play, was going on, what behaloed guardian, of the righteous, thought to ask Sam for his side of the affair? Not one damn person. That was a beautiful example of fair-mindedness, wasn't it? No wonder Sam was so mad in that piece in the Collector (39 Aug). One of the bluntest, most stinging articles I have ever read. It wasn't entirely unjustified either. No more unjustified than this entire affair has been. ~~ Well--- here's I940, with prosperity still gamboling somewhere around that famous corner, and war walloping the stuffings loose from the boys accros the delightfully broad ocean. We are in the midst of the things Wells said would come. If we don't forget silly, petty, unjustified, matters like this in fandom, then there may not be any fandom to forget in, soon. Let's call this thing even, and forget it, gents, and make a resolution that there will be fewer things like it in this shining new year. What say, eh? ~~ I don't, contrary to the accusation of gibberish in me last letter have any objection to Ackermaneese. What I do object to is Trudy's unholy mixture of Ackermaneese, deliberately-rotten grammer, and (Ouch!) dialect. But then I think that Bob Hope is lousy, and Cantor stinks. Perhaps, some like that sort of thing. I am not one. ~~ On the other hand, Ackermaneese is an expression of an evolving, growing language. As Esperanto may someday be the language of the entire world; Ackermaneese may eventually become, in a modified form, the language of all America. Forry, old boy, you're making history! ~~ Did you notice that in my last letter I said that I read TWS every month, and that at that time it had't gone monthly? Well, it did so one month later. Maybe I should be a prophet, but then I hear there no prophet in it. (That rustling sound you hear, is Mr. Joseph Miller rotating in his grave.) ~~
