Temper! The Family Magazine Vanguard Vanities The Vanguard Prospectus was full of admirable resolution to make this new organization something more than 'just another APA.' We who were charter members of Vanguard knew, rather hazily perhaps, that we wanted something better, something on a more adult level, something, say, more serious in nature, than we could find in any of the existing organizations. So we formed Vanguard. And we all went frantically to work, turning out 'something for the first mailing.' And with one or two exceptions we all turned out exactly the sort of material that we had been (or in the case of non-FAPA members, would have been) submitting to FAPA. Now I personally have small criticism to make of FAPA. Within the limits of its objectives, it is a sound and wholesome organization. But Vanguard started out with what we thought as broader, more literate, and more mature principles. It can hardly be said that we applied them in our publications. Lowndes was a notable exception. His Vanguard issue of Agenbite seemed to me to be on an entirely different level from those he had previously submitted to FAPA. But Vanguard was after all largely his baby, and it was to be expected of him. (continued on page 2) TEMPER!, Vol I, No.1; published at Parallax, 787 Washington St., NYC 14, by Judy Zissman and, insofarasheisable, Dan Zissman EM3/C, USNR. May 1945
