MORE NEWS FROM SHANGRI-LA..................................... LASFS FAILS TO RECOGNIZE PLANETS The serious end of this sacred Society has been considerably livened of late by some very interesting talks. Forrest J. Acketman gave a very interesting account of David H. Keller and Art Joquel outlined the different theorized, undiscovered and unrecognized planets. Both talks were very good and well received. LASFS MEMBERS GO BOWLING WITH BEETHOVEN AND BRAHMS. Most of the members have been spending a great number of thier evening at the Hollywood Bowl where the Symphonies Under the Stars have been in session. They have been listening in vain for the Los Angeles Apathetic Philharmonic to really break into a good performance. ANGELENIOS ARRESTED FOR SITRUBING THE BEACH OR THE BEACH COMBERS HIT A SNARL. On May 30, 1943, the annual beach party produced sixteen fans and fanettes -- Henry and Dorathy Hasse, Cpl. Bob Hoffman, Paul Freehager, Barbara Bovard, Randy Tillywish, beverly Ann Bronson, Mel Brown, Prc. Blaine Dunwire, 4e, Morojo, Helen Finn, Edd Chamberlain, Morrie Dollens, Sam D. Russell an Bronson. A very pleasant day ensued, although wartime beach restrictions prevented the group from convening after sundown. In lieu of the customary evening bonfire, et al, the party descended upon the Dollens-Russell home there to perpetrate on posterity such horrendous recordings as "the LASFS chorus" singing they're version of "Trees", complete with accompaniment, and to witness a showing of movies of the old MFS, taken by Morrie Dollens. LASFS PROVES TO BE PHONEY ---- SOME PHONE? EH KID? Yes, people, the LASFS has its own phone now, listen in both the yellow and white directorys as the Los Angeles Scence Fantasy Society MAdison 7038. Call us up sometime. If you do, be prepared for an odd greeting; for, in true LASFS tradition any fan who answers the phone invariable utters a wacky form of "Helly", e. g. "It's your nickle," "Annie Doesn't live here any more," "Pardon me, but you look just like Schnarje," "What's the latest, dope?", and so forth. In fact this practice has taken hold to such an extent that the person answering the phone is liable to be embarrassed. For instance, the time Yerke bestirred himself from his couch in the corner to answer: he uttered those two words, "wrong number" with such finality that he automatically convinced the calling party of the authentisity of the statement and he promptly hung up. Prize faux pas was accomplished by Phil Bronson. Late one evening the raucous jangle of the phone interupted a highly-interersting discussion. Bronson answered - like this: "Hello, this is God speaking; may I help you?" The reply: "This is the operator. I have a long distance call for you." Daugherty's girl, Tillie Jacobson, calls up ever-so-often just to hear any new answers that have been made up. Someone answered herewith an ordinary "Hello" on one call and she nearly passed out. Upon recovery she prompty said she was hanging up and would call back and that she would expect a better answer than that. GALACTIC ROAMER IN L A NO RUMOUR. Dalvin Coger, Galactic Roamer, now station at Camp haan dropped in for an hour at a recent meeting and promised to return again at an early date. -4-
