For some time various individuals have been attacking the NFFF Constitution through the FAPA and through fan magazines generally circulated. Oddly enough approximately half of the attacks we have seen have been made by non-members whose interest we fail to understand. NFFF business can hardly be of interest to those not in the organization. To the others who are NFFF members I would like to call their attention to Art. VIII of the Constitution as to the proper procedure for entering their complaints. Ed Counts was our troubleshooter and no one made any complaints to him. Dale Tarr has taken over the handling of any complaints and, so far, nothing has been brought to his attention other than things brought up in Directorial official correspondence. The Constitution was voted in by the members and the present officials were elected by the members to serve under the constitution. It is not the position of the elected officials to find fault and change that instrument regardless of any personal feelings they may hold concerning its adequacy. Any minor difficulties encountered that hamper efficient procedure will, of course, be noted and corrections suggested. But it is the duty of each elected officer to uphold, if not the letter, the spirit of the Constitution. If you attend the Pacificon do not fail to attend the NFFF meeting scheduled during that Convention. E.E. Evans, who is in charge, has informed us that interesting talks and a discussion program has been set. See your Pacificon program for time and place of meeting. The NFFF will have an ad in the Pacificon Bulletin (Full Page) and also an ad will appear in the INTERNATIONAL AMATEUR (published in England) in the summer issue for world wide distribution. A writeup for the organization will appear in the INTERNATIONAL AMATEUR WHO'S WHO (also published in England). Fraternally yours /Dunk/ Walter Dunkelberger EDITOR'S MESSAGE Such irregularity in appearance of the official organ as we have just seen naturally creates the impression that the NFFF is tottering on its last legs, and that it is not performing sufficient of its functions to warrant its existence as a club. This unfortunate condition has been caused by the unforseeable illness of Charles Tanner, and it is my function, as the new editor, to bring the organ back to regularity by producing a vigorous 2
