FROM THE CONTROL ROOM Terribly sorry, chilluns, about the lateness of this issue. Your humble servant and the flu, laryngitis, le grippe, or maybe some sort of combination of all three had a tussle, and you can easily guess who came out second best. So - the first late issue in about a year. Maybe we'll be able to make it up in the future by telescoping some issuance dates until the two weeks are taken care of. As might be expected, we fell pretty far back on correspondence and such. So this is a good place to acknowledge receipt of letter and postals from Eugene Calowaert, Harry Gehmarje, Chris E. Mulrain, Jr., Paul Vogenitz, and Walt Daugherty, to which we'll not find time for an answer. But on to better tidings. After many weary moons, enough material to fill the contact issue of Spaceways has arrived; so, next issue will contain all the material sent for that issue. This probably isn't the very first fan contest to be carried through to its conclusion, but successful ones are extremely few and far between. There's been some pretty good stuff submitted for it, and next issue should be particularly interesting for that reason. Address-change department: when last heard from, Dale Tarr was reachable at 529 Elm, Cincinnati, Ohio. He probably won't have moved more than once by the time this comes out, so you'll doubtless be able to catch him there. (He's now employed at the splendidly gruesome task of helping manufacture coffins!) Walter Sullivan has gone to 220 S. Yale Ave. Albuquerque, N. M., and Joseph Gilbert now hangs out at 3600 Grand, Columbia, South Carolina. It might not be amiss to rantion also that Cott's Press, which supplies the brilliant stickers fans love to show off with, is now in Waverly, Kansas. More world-shaking news: damon demon knight is now at 679 n. cottage st., salem, oregon. (He, incidentally, is in the market for nos. 17 and 18 of Spaceways; if you're willing to sell at any reasonable price, will you let us know where Jim Blish is? He has done a disappearing set as thorough as Richard Kraft, whom also we've been unable to locate. Trivia: Donald A. Wollheim reports that Edward Shanks, whose article was the subject of Walter Sullivan's "Fantasy - 1919 Style" last issue, published in 1920 a book entitled "The People of the Ruins"....Here's one of those things that worry us, though it really doesn't make any difference: We claimed that only the Wright biography was reprint, when ballyhooing the Second Anniversary S and everything else new. That's where we was gypped. Larry Farsaci pointed out that "The Nightmare Lake" of HPL had appeared in Fantasy Magazine long ago. The source whence we obtained the poem said it was new to fan mags, and since we lack files of FM, we didn't know. If someone wishes to donate his set of the magazine to
