EDITORIAL By Yours Truly Comes the age old time when ye ed. pokes his nose into what usualy isn't any of his darned business, but no matter, it is the thing done by the best of them, why should I be an exception? Apoligies must be offered and gotten over with. I know that the mimeoing is bad, the typing is bad, and that I did a deplorable job of this first issue. I hated, after a look at the nearly completed product, to finish the dern thing. But further consideration convinced me, that in view of all the work I had done, I should go on and finish it. One disadvantage that I was working under was that my typer sticks. As a result, one letter tends to be superimposed upon another, and in spite of the vast amount of correction fluid used you can see this all through the mag. Now as to the policy of Jupiter as well as I'm able to give it. I hate to make to many comitments, as I intend to change the mag. to confirm with the ideas of you guys what do the reading. However, here, as well as I can are listed some of the policies of June. To begin with, June will be quarterly, and earing if possible on the 31st day of January, April, July, October, etc. I know that this issue is late, who the heck doesn't but it could not be helped. I threw the thing together in a month and in view of the fact that my time and experiance are limited, I think that I did pretty well. Nest, a three cent stamp and/or a letter of comment (preferable) will suffice to insure the next issue of June. appearing in your mail box. I may have to change the sub price in the future due to financial shortages but shall try my goldarndest to keep prices down to a bare minimum. The size, shall be kept below thirty pages except on special occasions, such as anniversary issues, etc. This issue is especially small due to lack of time, and material. Future issues however, may be expected to run about 25 pages. Unless I secure some good 20 lb. mimeo paper it shall also continue to appearon one side of the page only. Any material submitted should be in the way of either a serious minded, constructive article, and/or humorous shorts in the way of fiction. Except on exceptional occasions no straight fiction will be excepted. The reason for this is easily understood. There are already enough promags and fanzines carrying fiction. I see no reason to continue to publish stuff that no one wants any how. Poetry should be humorous, I don't want much serious stuff in that line as its usually passed by anyhow. (at least I don't like the darned stuff.) Artwork should should be uncomlicated, something that can be reproduced without to much effort on a mimeo but it certainly would be welcom, especialy a cover, and/or some one who would be so kind as to volunteer to illustrate and article, story, poem etc. The future issues of June, will of course carry a letter section consisting of about three pages. Serious constructive, criticism is especialy wanted, and will be received cordialy, and with great joy. Be sure and dash off your pet ideas on a card and send em my way. As to this issue which is now under your nose. Heading the list is the S.F. quiz contest. I realize of course that a lot of oldtimers would probably know most if not all of the answers. O.K. then send in your answers and get yourself a prize. Anyone may enter except of course the authur, who I've recruited as a judge. The judges decision will be positively final, and no duplicate prizes will be awarded unless absolutely necessary. If this little Quiz is liked I'll install it as a regular feature. I'm hunting for someone who would do some book reviews for me. Someone who has good contacts, and a lot of good books that can be reviewed. If you happen to be a person with this capacity drop me a line. Special acknowledgements must to to Walter Coslet, and the N.F.F.F. manuscript bureau for supplying some of the material for this issue. 3 RPM
