page 7. GUETO (Dec): It appears the Esperanto movement continues to gain recognition. GUTETO (Mar): Are there any comparitive figures showing just what growth has taken place in the movement as regards general acceptance? WALT'S WRAMBLINGS: Usual interesting bunch of book reviews. They certainly provide a handy guide for the book collector---especially one who gets around to reading but a small portion of the books he collects. FAN-TODS: Gardner's appraisal of World of A was really enjoyed. It ably expresses what I'd felt about the story, and is the first published approval of the tale I've seen. Fandom's generally adverse reaction to the story has puzzled and disappointed me considerably. General Theory Of Relativity was priceless. Yesterday's 10000 Years struck me as better than usual this time. You have some choice interlineations this time. You and Speer seem to run sorta neck and neck on this. But your reviews continue to be one of the best parts of an issue. They don't always inspire further comment by me, but they sure make enjoyable reading, and are one of the things I look forward to in a mailing. I'm afraid I don't quite "get" the cover. BEYOND: The Devil's Wife wasn't a bad story, but somehow the proper climax didn't appear at the end. It struck me as a swell idea that wasn't handled in quite the right way. The writing was very smooth and easy reading, but the ending not sufficiently dramatic. Sea Call, I liked very much. One of those comparitively few poems that strike a responsive chord within me. Also rather liked the back cover. EN GARDE (Fall): I'm afraid the account of the trip became more of an account of the flats than I'd intended. EN GARDE (Winter): At least I'm caught up again. Having maintained the mag regularly for so long, 'twould be a shame to break the record now. The ___ Thing: Judging by this first issue, TUT promises to become a, if not the, leading fapazine. While this might naturally be expected from two such experienced ajay members, it is something over which to glee, nevertheless. The general atmosphere of TUT is simply delightful. Remarks on the NFFF constitution were needed and welcome, and they point the way for action in a situation which has reached the point of being utterly ridiculous. Djovial Djinn was swell. If this represents the standard for the fiction the mag will feature, I can see where I shall commence reading some fan fiction. Helen, you promise to be a welcome addition to realm of fan artists. Yes, everything considered, I can see better days ahead for FAPA since Crane and Wesson have been admitted to membership. And a great many of the leading FAPA publishers will be compelled to look carefully to their laurels. SCIENCE-FICTION: Ah, Shaw again shows signs of life. Bloch story
