been one of speculation -- speculation as to how soon he would succub so that we might reciprocate? And the Curse of Ghu be on him for foiling us!))

READER AND COLLECTOR: We can hardly wait until the time when it is possible to meet Koenig in person,and whisper sweet strings of soft sibilants into his sensitive ears. This mag is a never-failing source of entertainment though. As to that "bar-room game called poker-dice", we have a set of them and would be only too happy to teach our hissterical fellow fan how to use "such things" --- that is, providing he has any money.

THE FANTASY AMATEUR: Lousy mimeo job, but very pleased to find ourselves NUMBER TWO on the FAPA Membership List. Heh.

CENSORED: This came as a complete surprise. We never dreamed that anything of this quality was to be expected from Canada. Somewhere we gathered the idea that Fandom didn't amount to much in Canada. We were certainly happy to have our illusions shattered in this pleasant manner. Keep it up boys and gals.

SATYRIC: Fans may be ERRATIC, true. But, mayhap 'tis better we keep the "O's" out of the spelling. We do not subscribe to the frequently made statement that "it must be science fiction" to appear in a fan publication. We have no quarrel with pornography as such, but feel that it has nothing to offer the field of fan literature. And may we add that we find a world of difference between nude art and any sort of pornographic literature.

GUTETO: Xaeiouqvp zyxwvu ku quoo, sprfsk! Ach Ptooe bhor, "Nuz nomurra fgkoui. Ich schtenke? Yahk, yahk, yahk."

MILTY'S MAG: This is always interesting. Just tried that stunt of chinning one's self with only the tips of six fingers for support. Then we tried it with only four fingers -- and succeeded. We're two up on you Milty -- and we don't play the piano either -- just drive a hack.

SARDONYX: Plenty of interest, with lots of variation. Cover very intriguing. Milty's "friend" appears familiar. Seems as though we met said friend in a local restaurant recently. She looks a little younger in the photo, so we can't be certain.

HORIZONS: To misquote the quotation from the Book of Job, "Would that mine friend had used a mimeo." Why don't you break down and forget the tradition you have built, Harry? The tradition has broken down. We have thoroughly enjoyed the small bits we have been able to decipher, but they have ever been both few and small. Cover was excellent, however.

SCIENCE FICTION HASH: We liked the Unknown Index and assure you it was quite welcome. Pray continue such praiseworthy endeavors. As a suggestion, why not print then sans other and irrelevant material that they may be detached from HASH and bound together for future reference. Stuff like Stuff & Stuff is great stuff. We go for that sort of stuff. Stuff us some more. The little poems also make very good filler. Keep it up, Jenkins ol' things.
