THE EDITORS SALLY FORTH.... THE STAFF still more changes Yes - - still they come. Though we hope that this time they will be permanent. The last issue - - featuring 'booze, babes, and bear meat' - - was fairly popular, but the amount of aclaim it received does not warrent the continuation of that particular policy. So it's a new policy. Or at least an about face. Our original idea - - that of a 'poor fan's Esquire' - - has again been dragged from the gutter and tacked onto the contents page. We hope - - please God - - it will remain there. Also - - this phrase has become almost traditional - - you will notice another change in format. The other two we can pass off as experiments that flopped. Therefore, this issue presents a format that will remain indefinitely, until something better strikes our noggins. And that 'something better' will. But anyway, we hope you like the change We believe it's a decided improvement. (All this has gone before.) As yet our publishing periodicity is quite indefinite, tho we do promise you at least three issues a year. However, even tho we do have an obscure publishing date, subscriptions remain fifteen cents a year, little matter how many issues we publish. Price per copy remains five cents, so you can see you're bound to save money by subscribing by the year. The number of copies we run has also been changed from 150 to 55 copies, starting with this issue. Our subscribers do not even number than many, but we suppose we should retain some duplicate. material wanted Speaking of non-existent items, which we weren't, but now are - - we have not one bloody shred of material for future issues, unless we turn to our typer and bat it all out ourselves, which isn't - - you must admit - - too pleasant a prospect. So we proceed to voice another plea: We need articles, fiction, satires, drawings. Also letters, but we expect them regardless. Ha ha. You need have no fear of censorship or blue pencil insertions on our part, so please feel quite free to bellow or cuss or apple-polish all you want to, provided you're interesting, and appeal in some way to masculine tastes, though we cannot afford to be too strict on that point. All material will receive our closest attention, or we can at least promise to look it over. If it does not suit our requirements, we offer to return it to the writer, as he or she may choose. Particularly needed for the next number are ideas for pictorials and interior drawings, such as our frontspiece. We would like to see some examples of your own drawing too, though we will not accept lithograph illustrations. A good lino cut which permits the use of color is far more valuable, we believe.
