Volume One An MFS Publication Number Six .......................................................................................................... MFS TO Publish ENCYCLOPEDIA At the Michiconfence the MFS agreed to publish a dictionary of fan terms for the NFFF. Inasmuch as Dale Tarr and Jack Speer are already planning to compile a fan dictionary and a fan encyclopedia respectively, our project has been combine with these; Speer and Tarr will write the publications, with the MFS handling the duplication and final revision. Speer is planning a 50 to 100 page encyclopedia, so we may be sure that it will be a comprehensive and permanent work. Tarr's fan dictionary, which we hope to publish soon, is designed primarily to acquaint prospective fans with obscure fan terminology and various other factors about which they might be in doubt. It will be distributed to fantasy readers contacted by the NFFF Welcoming Committee. E. E. Evans is working on plans for financing these two publications. SDR. ________________________________________________ Next meeting: Friday, October 30th, at 3949 Yosemite Ave,, St. Louis Pk. ________________________________________________ The meeting of October 4th was held at the apartment of Fran Blomstrand, at 400 Pierce St., in St. Paul.

After that the discussion of future plans for Fantasite prevailed. The next three issues and the 3nd Annish were hashed over, and from all indications the annish will definitely be something worth waiting for. After Fran served ice-cream and cookies, the gathering broke up at 12:15 a.m., and we all dashed madly for the nearest beer-joint. We split up at 1:00 a.m., but all arrived home intact.
