VOMUTTERINGS OUR (UN)COVER this month, another Vomaiden, by Mooney. Original, done in multi-color pastel, has been given a rather good reproduction, we feel, by Adele. Next month we'll bring U a "Tomaiden" ; ie, a Vomaiden by Tom Wright. This really is a superlative piece of fantasy art & no expense will be spared in its reproduction, which will be fotolithio. All who have seen the original praise it as Tom's nearest approach to Finlay. The figure, incidently, is clothed. But we have a promise of a Bronsonude (we understand Phil is the only fanartist to sport a model--his sister Beverly!); & we'll have an original lithicrayon lovely by Grace Talbert of Hollywood in the not-too-distant future. ' ' Meanwhile, if your acceptance is ryt, we plan to interpserse a greater proportion of cartoons in our correspondence. All fans with funtasy ideas & an ability with pen & ink invited to draw'em up & submit. There is a possibility for next no. of one from Guy Gifford who has apeard in AmS & enjoys some local fame as a cartoonist; probabilitys of Bradbury, Elder & a new doodle by Hoffman; while definite is a dilly by Danny (AmS Oct) Daimwood... ASSORTED ACKERMAN, AT YOUR SERVICE! (Unless called into Service!) Adele is retiring from repro/ing & henceforth the mimicrayon process & all other services of A.S. will be handled by 40. Delder will not noe--til he reads this here--that his beloved Marsian was not a genuine Repro/Adele but the first (historical!) Repro/Erman! (And at no xtra cost, either.) The original artist was delited, declaring "I think the repro improved my picture"; & Adele herself stated she could have doneno better, so we feel our reputation as a repoartist practicly is establisht. VOM REMAINS VERDANT due to 2-to1 preference on voters' parts. The Black Boys: Harry Warner, Phil Bronson, Dale Hart, Doc Lowndes, Bob Madle, Tom Wright, Allen Class, Russ Hodgkins. The Indifferents: Don Thompson, Art Widner, Jno Millard, Elmer Perdue. The Greenys: EEEvans, Walt Daugherty, Erle Korshak, damon knight, Roy Hunt, Don Wollheim, Walt Liebscher, Paul Freehafer, Julie Unger, Milty, Bill Deutsch, N. Willmorth, Graph Waldeyer, Lou Goldstone, Grady McMurtry, Jos Kenealy, Olon F Wiggins. PERTAINING TO PERIODICITY Vom forsakes monthly publication "for the duration". The duration refering to the Pacificon Preparations. FJA's position as Publicity Directorof the coming convention & Morojo's as Mimeografer-in-Chief, plus the biwkly meetings of the Convention Socy, cut too much time out of available hrs to permit the continued apearance every 4 wks of the Voice. Temporarily we shall try Spaceways' policy of every 6 wks; tho we can guarantee nothing, conceivably should have to revert to 8. Cause for even greater concern is the possible conscription (but imminently!) of 4e, who has had his medical date with the Draft Board, but has not (as of Aug 17) rcvd notification of classification. Funny...if I shoud attend Nycon, Chicon & Denvention, then not be able to be present at Pacificon! But I have hopes, since the Naval Intelligence turned me down the other day (& not for mental reasons, scums!), that the Army physical requirements will be as astringent. However, if it comes to "the worst" & I go from puns to guns, I'll try to educate the army. This will be no mean task & probly will leave me very lil time for actual drills * that sort of thing. Why, I can jest see it now: We'll replace the boogie-woogie bugler for Company B with the Science Fiction Bugle of Co. 4e. The slogan of the first army fanmag will be: "It's the taps!" (Despite the apparent levity, I appreciate the gravity of the situation; & presume most of U can pretty well imagine I wouldnt relish service as a soldier & the automatic curtailment of my stf activitys. I presume U'll get the "story" in FFF if any bad news breaks bfor next Vom. I am attempting not to burn any bridges behind me bfor I cross them but if I am sent off C.O.D. (Conscripted on Draft) every effort will be made to colaborate with the lil lady at home & keep a Vom of some sorts coming.)
