The Fifth Convention---It's Highlights.   Page 8
Science fiction, said David A. Kyle, "develops creative imagination." Creative imagination, according to Kyle, is "that thing which stimulates progress."

Sykora stated that no motions were permitted on the floor of the Convention.

The "Science fiction" auction took two nights to complete.

The second day of the Convention was officially opened at 3:00 PM and was officially closed at the Auction.

There were no more than 55 people at the highest point of the second day of the Convention.

THE WAY SCIENCE IS PROGRESSING!  Moskowitz showed us how fan mags will be prepared in the future.  "You think into a machine," he said, "and your thoughts are recorded by a print process."  To get an illustration, he stated, all you have to do is think into your machine, and presto---there's your illustration.

Jupiter has eleven moons, according to Ruroy Sibley.

Ruroy Sibley made some comments on the Moon, the SUn, the Milky Way, the planets, Spiral Nebula, and Comets; motion picture that accompanied his talk, explained what he meant.

Bradbury had difficulty keeping awake.

T he title of Ruroy's motion picture was "Seeing the Universe through the World's Largest Telescopes."

Sykora looked over Rubinson's "stfan," examined its pages very carefully to see what was written in it, told Rubinson he was sorry he (Bill) could not trust him (Rubinson), finally stated that he (Bill) should not be "too bullheaded about it" and signed the "stfan."

Sykora refused to let Kenneth Sterling's resolution on the floor of the Convention on the grounds that everybody agreed with it, and that, therefore, bringing it up on the floor of the Convention was unnecessary.  If Sykora agreed with the resolution, then why should he have objected to permitting it on the floor of the Convention?
