A TALE OF THE 'EVANS My gosh, how Tempus does Fidgit! Here is the beginning of another year of FAPA for the perpetrator of this little Journal, who has sometimes been called "Th' Ol' Foo", otherwise E. EVERETT EVANS, residing now at 628 South Bixel Street, in the City of Los Angels, in Sunny (it says here) California. This, then is VOL, IV, No, I. WHEREIN I DO A LITTLE "SOUNDING OFF" The lamentable and absolutely unnecessary lateness of the recent mailing has forced me to do something I seldom do -- get quite peeved in my writings. While admitting that the Secretary had a right to be late with his report, seeing the mess the records were in when he received them, that certainly was no reason for holding up the entire mailing. It could have been included in the next Official Organ, or could have been mailed out separately when ready. It seems to this observer that there is and has grown to be, entirely too much willingness to be late with entries for these FAPA mailings. Some of the contributors seem to have got into the habit of making a fetch of being late always. It cannot be the force of circumstances every time. For simple instance, I made the move out here to California during the middle of last Summer, and had a lot of packing to do, and many, many details to attend to, yet i got out both the Summer and Fall issues of BOTH of my magazines. In additoon, for this last mailing, I had 12 pages and cover of A TALE OF THE 'EVANS; 30 pages and a cover of THE TIME-BENDER, and 12 pages and the cover of Michael Roenblum's BROWSING, and yet I got them finished and in the hands of the Official Editor BEFORE THE DEAD-LINE! Certainly the other contributors could have done so, IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO. I think, in fairness to all, that publisher should be more careful and considerate, and get their mags into the hands of the Official Editor before the dead-line. And I certainly think that the OE should send out the Mailings ON THE DAY SPECIFIED, whether all the mags experienced are in his hands or not. Maybe if these dilatory publishers had to pay the costs of post-mailings a few times, they would be a bit more prompt thereafter. Selah, I have spoke! A VERY HAPPY CIVILIAN NEW YEARS TO ALL OUR SERVIFEN FAPA MEMBERS
