Besides the pleasure of contributing to this fine gesture of international fan friendship, for each dollar you donate, you get one chance at the Big Pond Prize. At present time this consists of a copy of The Fox Woman by A. Merritt, just published, and the first four books to be published by Fantasy Press. More prizes are to be added later. In the event the candidate can not come at the last minute and a desirable substitute can not be found, or insufficient funds are raised, all monies will be contributed to The Fantasy Foundation. England is also gathering contributions. All monies to The Big Pond Fund should be sent to F.J.Ackerman, 236-1/2 N New Hampshire, Hollywood 4, Calif. AND if you haven't joind the Philcon Society send $1.00 to Milton A Rothman, 2113 N Franklin St, Phila. 22,Pa. BAR THE DOORS, weird stories, selected by Alfred Hitchcock and A. Merritt's The Metal Monster, are now on the stands. 25c each. - JVT THE PSFS TURNS DOWN EASTERN CLUB ASSOCIATION IDEA ------------------ (Dec 16 via PSFS Bulletin) After much discussion, The Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, decided at their Dec. 8th meeting, by a vote of 17-3, to drop out of the proposed Eastern Club Association. The reason given was: "Most members felt that there was little-to gain in such an alliance, and felt that we (PSFS) would be better off by maintaining our (PSFS) individuality". The yet un-named Eastern Club Association is in its prelimenary stages, The Eastern Science Fiction Association has a committee working on a proposed constitution and the Queens SFL, at their last meeting (the report of which has been delayed by Xmas mail and will appear in the next issue) also voted a committee to work over the constitution. These two clubs and the PSFS were to have met (via club Officials) in the near future to compare rewritten constitutions and draw up a final draft for presentation to the three clubs. Fantasy-Times contacted the Officials of the QSFL and ESF and they stated that they would continue with their plans as before and have not given up hope that their sister club, the PSFS, would join them, in time. _____________________________________ N O T I C E Please renew your subscription as soon as your present one expires, as F-T is printing just enough copies to cover its mailing list. ______________________________________ THE LEADING FANTASY NEWSPAPER
