page 9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- thin we may need a Code formulated for Fandom...Story clever; the poems soso...A really good 'zine. FAN SLANTS: Wollheim's "Origin of Fandom" exceedingly interesting and informative......"Blow-Ups Happen" also interesting as another slant on the recent unhappiness at LA, now apparently healed. Covers and interior pics veddy swell. MEMOIRS OF A SUPERFLUOUS FAN: Yorke can write interestingly when he wants to do so; shame he doesn't oftener. This one was. FAN DANGO: Sooo sorry, Friend Lonoy, that you found my remarks so up-setting. It is evident, however, that I did not express myself any too clearly, as I am not as "reform-y" as you seemed to think I am from the items you mention. I'm not against anyone who se desires from doing all the drinking they wish. Until the Doc forbade it, I did my share, and could relate some gory details. What I was trying to show was how an educational campaign nearly succeeded in the face of intense opposition, as against such a totaleducational system as that used by the Nazis... As to paying the piper, I have sat in on those poker games that lasted until the next morning, myself, on occassions when I did not have to go to work. I was trying, in my feeble way, to write a little but of humor, and only that.....As to pronouncing "Fwqnkio" -- it is reakky very easy and simple. You pronownce it "Fwqnkio" -- thass all.... "Gutless Wonders" again stresses the need for a Code of Ethics for Fandom...I'm ratehr surprised at you, Fran, for letting one person's sarcastic scribble change you from using a word you had thought worth using. A careful re-reading and study of Yorke's statement shows it merely a hyper-sophisticated bunch of loudly sounded words, signifying absolutely nothing whatsoever. MILT'YS MAG: It's certainly good to keep hearing from one of my very favorite fans. Do write us that Space Ship, dope (oops, I didn't mean that comma, I meant "that Space Ship dope"). VENUS-CON: Cover good; another side had words on it....Got the biggest kick out of the caption on the front "An Outsider Publication (published at the LASFS Clubroom). Hah!! INVESTIGATION AT NEWCASTLE: A painstaking and costly effort. CALIBAN: So Shaw is running for office. Trying also to dictate to us poor Fen whom we should vote for and against. Hey, thought I was the guy they called Fandom's Dictator! Trying to muscle in, hoy? TAKE-OFF: Strip tease it give us now in FAPA, huh? Nice going Raym....Poetry quite good, although I didn't care too much for the subject matter. Sorry, guess I still prefer Gypsy Rose Lee. EMERGENCY FLARE: Thanks for the vote of confirdence. I'm trying my level best to live up to all the nice things Fen are saying about me; and to profit by those criticisms which come my way.
