Science Fiction Collector-- Page Twenty-Nine no connections with the fan world at the time, and upon meeting Ossie Train and Milt Rothman in October, 1933, we told them our plans, and they condescended to edit the magazine for us-- all we would have to do would be to print it! However, JVB and I began to get ideas of our own, and FANTASCIENCE DIGEST was projected with JVB and RAM as editors. This failed to materialize, too-- and Philadelphia's first fan magazine was the FANTASY FICTION TELEGRAM, published in 1936. However, FANTASCIENCE DIGEST finally did appear, although not in printed format as originally planned. Among the magazines to appear in the next FAPA mailing, due late in January, are Harry Warner's FAPA CORRESPONDENT, containing excerpts from Warner's correspondence; the entire IPO POLL, contributed by Olon F. Wiggins; and possibly another issue of H. Kong's READER AND COLLECTOR. However, this latter is not definite as Koenig is taking a trip south in a short while, and may not be able to publish it.... The FAPA is in one helluva fix. If something isn't done soon, I 'm afraid the organization will disappear entirely. The offices are all balled up; the Secretary-Treasurer doesn't have a thing to work with; and the official editor (Marconette) resigned and will positively not do anything until the club pays him the money due him. What to do? Somebody had better figure that out on the double quick! The second anniversary issue of FANTASCIENCE DIGEST should be out shortly after you read this. It will contain at least forty pages, with material by the leading professional and fan writers. As this issue is costing quite a bit to publish, it
