2. TO THE READERS: Well, here's QUANTA again, and with a new editor. You must not expect much of a change in policy, for QUANTA is an Official Organ of a Science-Fiction club, and as such should be a product of the club as a whole .. not of one person or one group within the club. Under such circumstances the editor must be little more than a coordinator. Many of you may be disappointed in the reversion to the size of paper used in the first issue. We know that most people said that the preferred the smaller size. However, the present editor handled the production of the second issue and is well-aquainted with the difficulties involved in using a non-standard size of paper. We find ourselves a bit pressed for time and feel that the saving of time plus the improvement of interior reproduction will more than compensate for the advantages found in a smaller size fanzine. QUANTA #3 should reach nearly everyone by the time of the Cinvention. We wish to thank in advance all the people who are running this convention for the fine time I know we will have there. If any of our readers have not yet signed up for the Cinvention, we urge them to do so immediately if there is still time. You cannot even guess what fun one of these conventions is until you have attended one for yourself. And don't forget that Washington will bid for1950 (See "CAPICON IN FIFTY" in this issue) If you think the material used in this issue is not as wonderful as it should be, I have but one answer: Write some yourself! We have used the best material available for this issue. Thus far we have used material only from members and former members of the Washington Science-Fiction Association, but we are quite willing to use outsiders' material, if it comes up to our standards. We hope to be with you for many issues yet to come. We would like to see a regular schedule for QUANTA -- either quarterly of bi-monthly -- as soon as possible. But it is up to you, members and friends of WSFA, to contribute what you can to this 'zine. If you cannot dig up an article or story, at least try to write us a letter giving your views. Our letter department is by no means filled up. So, until the next issue, good luck and happy reading. Sincerely, Franklin Kerkhof[[?]] Editor
