mistake; he said, when answering question number seven, that Alexander M. Phillips is a pseudonym for Phillip Francis Nowlan. He was slightly confused, for he was thinking of Frank Phillips, which is a pseudonym for Nowlan. Other high ratings were attained by Sam Moskowitz and Ted Dikty, both of whom rated 80%.

   And now we come to Widner's questions. 

   1) What was the first John Carter tale?
   2) Who were the illustrators of the three "Skylark" yarns?
   3) What is the name of the spaceship on the SFL emblem?
   4) Everybody knows L. Ron Hubbard wrote "The Ultimate Adventure", but how many know of the other stf story with the identical title, who wrote it, and where it appeared?
   5) Name the magazine in which a well-known s-f illustrator had a story published, and also illustrated it, and of course, the author-artist.
   6) Name two s-f stories based on the American Revolution, their authors, and where they appeared.
   7) Who translated "Electropolis?"
   8) Name three stories in which the word "Utopia" appears. Thomas Moore's is not counted.
   9) Where is Isot?
   10) What big-time author writes all his stories in longhand before he types them?
   11) Name the first Buck Rogers story and its sequel. 
   12) Richard Grandon is a copy of what other s-f character?
   13) Who is SFL member no. 1?
   14) You've all probably read Nelson S. Bond's "Monster from Nowhere" but who wrote a much better story, with the same title, & where did it appear?
   15) What story was based on the whiteman's conquering of the American Indian?
   c16) Name three popular songs with s-f titles. 
   17) What well-known stf and fantasy writer had a very fantastic fantasy printed in ESQUIRE, and what was its title?
   18) In what issue of what publication did "The Vanguard to Neptune" appear?
   20) What story had the cover of the issue of AMAZING in which "The Colour Out of Space" was published?
   20) Who was editor of the SCIENCE FICTION CRITIC?

   I am not in need of any more questions at the present time, but as soon as the present supply runs low, you'll hear about it! Don't forget to send me your answers -- hereafter I intend to publish all of the results -- so you'll see your name in print -- chee! won't that be swell!
