10......THE FANTASITE

amateur, etc., "would sell to any third grade grammar book writer between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Why'd we have to lose you to the army, Joe? We're not kidding; we really are sorry to see you fade. You'e the fly in the soup; the worm in the salad, the reason apartment owners don't like their renters to have dogs running loose around the halls, and fandom is going to miss you. Look at that same Hell Fire (MFS Bulletin, No. 14)--"Personally, I retch to think Bronson didn't approve of my last installment for his mag..." Now try to imagine anyone but Fortier retching all over the Bulletin. It can't be done, because Joe, in his own warped way, is unique. Now don't get all hot and worried, thinking we don't hate you, Joe, because we really do, in a fatherly sort of way. It's just that we're a little nostalgic, the way a farmer feels about his old Sears-Roebuck catalogs when modern plumbing comes into the household. Tell you what you do, Joe; why don't you write a little book containing your opinion on each and every fan and organ of fandom, so that our grandchildren will have something to remember you by, long after your letters and colyums have gone into a school paper sale in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six? It's something to think about, anyhow.

THE BELLS ARE RINGING for the tenth issue of - LYLDA!
(For) GOLDEN ATOM is on its way again! THE VERY YOUNG MAN proudly presents the Winter, 1942 issue of GOLDEN ATOM (with Cummings, Lovecraft, Howard, Weinbaum, etc.--40 pages of surprises!) on his first furlough home! G.A. #10 also includes letters re the last issue of SPACEWAYS, last notes by H.P.L., and last unpublished bit by S. G. Weinbaum, "Th Last Martian"!

EUREKA! WE'VE FOUND IT! In searching through a batch of old material, books, and magazines the other day, we came across some items which we had hitherto believed nonexistent: outdated, back copies from Vol. One of Fantasite. Here are the numbers and the prices: Volume One, Number Four (only one copy, with slightly off-register cover, otherwise complete and in good condition)--35c; Volume One, Number 6 (two copies available, in reasonably good condition)--20c each. First come first served!!
