Crawford & Shepherd have combined with an aim to issuing the newsstand Marvel Tales, all typ for which is said to have been already set up.



WOW - This engrossing talk, lasting some 2 hrs, was accompanyd by specimens grown in these chemical solutions. ~~ The Council on Controversy decided its first case, rejecting 2 too-political papers by T. Bruce Yerke: "& the Bull Got Up & Walkt Away" & "Father Forgive Them". Yerke, mem the council, was himself convinced the subjects were not suitable for our pub. Canceld after already having been stencild was Fred Shroyer's column on "God-Busting", considerd too hot to handle. A few copys the rejected pg 8 were run off, tho, a dozen as "collector's item". Sheet may be obtaind for a 3c stamp c/o IMAGINATION!
The membership roster was raised at the July 21 meeting when Mr & Mrs Ellsworth--requesting to be calld Mike & Corrine--were welcomed into the Chapter. Stf readers of several yrs standing, they only recently heard about us, & upon doing so made haste to join. Welcome back after a long absence was Emil Petaja, well known fanwriter. Someone had just wonderd audibly what part the country Kuttner was in at the moment when the door flew open with a crash & in tript HK in the flesh. After the babble had died down & he had regaind the use of his mangled rite hand, Hank launcht into an account of his trip to the East & of the personages he had seen. The luridetails we plan to present in the form of a feature next issue.
A couple Sundays ago when Forry arrived at the "office" to devote the day to composition & stenciling on "Madge", Morojo was out & he found this note in her machine: "There is nothing rong with this typwriter xcepting the little hard-rubber rollers have in some mysterious manner been softened & swollen. No doubt a visitor from Alpha Centauri, or some chemical used in the composition of the stencils is responsible for this failure. If a visitor, we shoud know our friendly disposition by harming him, or it, as little as possible in repairing the machine but if the stencils caused the trouble I think we should sue--" It develops that the waxy consistency of the stencils does act to deteriorate the rubber rollers; about 250 stencils is the life of a "guide"--then goofooey! & a nice stiff replacement charge (for the same price you could buy a Quarterly apiece for each of the quintuplets). Yea, bo, that's where our money goes....................
