among THE HAMS and PROS BY "THE COLUMBIA CAMP" JOSEPH GILBERT HARRY JENKINS, JR. LEE B. EASTMAN (Foreword: This, good friends and fellow dopes, is the popular feature of the late and lamented PLUTO transposed to FANTASITE. We offered to take it over after PLUTO went to the Valhalla of all good fanzines, and thereupon had a feature on our hands and no place to put said feature. So we said to Phil, we sez, sez-we, "Look here, Phil, old keed, do y'all want'all this'all tripe'all?" And he sez yeah, or words to that effect so here it is. The three of us shall attempt to review all the pros and fanzines every two months in reasonably comprehensive detail. If any fanzine publisher has a mag we don't get, we'd appreciate it if he'd send us his mag in exchange for the STAR, which contains forty pages, and for the second issue will carry material by Fischer, Chauvenet, Tillman, Perdue, Rothman, Saari, with a front and back cover by Jenkins, oodles of new departments and costs only a dime from Joe Gilbert, at 3600 Grand Street, Columbia, South Carolina. That's the trouble with us; always too subtle. Anyway-- The STAR will be reviewed by Phil, fer obvious reasons. Also FANFARE, because Gilbert says that Gilbert's column therein stinks, but thinks it more modest fer someone else to say so. And that's all, except that we sincerely hope you like this department, and would appreciate your suggestions and criticism. One word in conclusion: Harry will review the two Ziff-Davis mags, and Lee and Joe positively refuse to be responsible for anything favorable he might say about them!) PROS Astounding: Fair cover by Rogers. Heinlein good; Sturgeon and Thompson ditto. But "Putsch" helps a great deal to lower the average of a not particularly outstanding issue. Weird Tales: Buy the mag for the Lovecraft novel, which is superbly worked out and written. The cover is okey-dokey Bok; the rest of the magazine isn't worth your time. Stirring Science Stories: Good Bok cover. This mag is right up in the top ranks now, and printing some of the best stuff in the field. Everything in the stf section is excellent, save "Rebirth of Tomorrow," which ranks as so-so. This last also goes for "Black Flames" in the Fantasy section. Don't
