Sept. 27th. 1945 ... Meeting started at 8:36... Fhil Bronson paid the Club a visit bringing the roll call to 24... Other guests were Bob Hoffman (on furlough), the Ashleys and daughter Darlene, Walt Liebscher and Jack Wiedenbeck (all appearing for the first time at LASFS - just arrived from Battle Creek, Mich.), Rusty Barron (Riverside, Calif.), Charles Burbee (who arrived late) and ((it says here)) a newcomer to the Bixel Street haven, luscious Laurel Lee McDonald. ... Perdue reported on a meeting with a group of LA amateur journalists who were considering coming in with the LASFS and sharing the rent. The plan fell through... Daugherty suggested that LASFS members search for books, write reviews on them (those concerning atomic power) and send to local newspapers for possible publicity. LASFS was to be mentioned casually in each report. Other possible publicity throughs ties to motion picture releases, etc. were discussed... A heated discussion as to the change of name for the Fourth World Science Fiction Convention was held... No decision was reached... Evans suggested that the next meeting be held at Clifton's Cafeteria to celebrate the birthday of Al Ashley...

Began at 9:20 with 19 present... Ken Bonnell came froward with a publicity idea in an attempt to outdo Daugherty's. He suggested that each male member selected a film lassie he would most enjoyed being marooned on the moon with. The idea was squelched when some farseeing member suggested that the originator might find himself in quite a predicament if such a thing were actually to happen. ... Meeting adjourned at 9:36 to hear a lecture (third and final) by Russell but it had to be postponed as Sam pleaded insufficient notes.. General discussions prevailed. Oct. 11th, 1945 meeting began at 8:20 with 19 fantasy enthusiasts present... Sgt. Oswald made a visit to Club (first in many years)..
