After leaning on our elbows for hours in a very futile attempt to think up an appropriate opening paragraph for this department we (without the benefit of an Emil Ludwig introduction.)

Mr. EARLE BARR HANSON

Hanson is one of the older fans active in fandom, having attained the age of thirty-eight. If he had been born one month later he could have celebrated his birthdate the time we all celebrate the birthdate of our first president. Birthplaces, though, are not so correlative, Hanson having been born in New Haven, Conn,; Washington somewhere in Virginia.

Having graduated from Yale in 1924, Hanson moved to Miami, Florida in 1926, the year of the first great hurricane. And we suspect a large percent of that hurricane was Hanson taking over Miami. Hanson tells us he started collecting books, fantasy preferably, about 1916, consequently he has by this time, as he so aptly terms it, a rather decent classical and modern library. Started on stf and fantasy magazines only a couple of years ago. Lays claim to the feat of having read every fantasy and scientifiction mag from their beginning, with the exception of Argosy. Became interested in fans and fandom shortly after beginning his collection of fantasy and scientifiction magazines. 

Hanson is president of the Miami Local, American Federation of Radio Artists; Vice-President Miami Federation of Musicians; Treasurer of Advisory Council -- John B. Orr Chapter, Order of De Molay. He is a member of Shrine, Masons, Elks, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Jesters, Indiana Fantasy Association, and Dixie Fantasy Federation. Earle says "As soon as I can get up enuf ambition, will send 50¢ to Denver and join another fine organization -- and help another fine cause." 

Hanson, we forgot to say, is acting president of the DFF, which accounts for our comparing him with Washington. While we can't compare the DFF with the United States, Hanson and Washington were firsts in their respective offices, and look how long the United States has lasted -- MAY THE COMPARISON BECOME A SYNONYMOUS CORRELATION.
