EN GARDE! A FAPA PUBLICATION WHOLE NUMBER II. Perpetrated by that unholy duo, Al and Abby Lu Ashley of 86 Upton Avenue, Battle Creek, Michigan. ".....where credit is due." THE COVER of this issue of EN GARDE was drawn by, and the airbrush mask cut by Jack Wiedenbeck. of Battle Creek, the Art Editor of NOVA, It was sprayed by Al Ashley, assisted by E. Everett Evans, who also was responsible for the idea protrayed on the cover picture. EN GARDE is a product of NOVA PRESS. TRIPLE PLAY DEPARTMENT Joe Fortier wrote to Ol' Man Evans, asking him to write up a certain article for his (Evans') forthcoming FAPAzine, as he (Fortier) had already finished his. But the Ol' Foo also had HIS FAPAzine all stenciled, so he passed it along to us. (Comes the article) Suppose some Fanzine has made a mistake. It is something that is incorrect in principle, and it IS a mistake, not just a blast-off from a desire to appear smart, or to pick a feud with someone. Why write to the editor of some OTHER mag, giving the first editor the devil for making the mistake? WHY NOT WRITE TO THE OFFENDING EDITOR, AND LET HIM MAKE THE CORRECTION OR RETRACTION??? Ninety-nine times out of a hundred he would be more than willing to do this. having believed he knew what he was talking about when he made the statement in question, he would be only too glad to make the correction. Elementary rules of fair play entitle him to at least the first chance to correct the error. Would not this procedure make for better feeling all around? Would it not go a long way toward keeping Fandom "one big, happy family", as we all really want it? Joe thought this would be a good idea. Ol' Man Evans seconded the motion. Us, the Ashleys, we are all in favor of it. Ergo, the motion is passed. N'est-ce pas?
