HORIZONS GLANCING BEHIND US The cover photos for FFM are so beautifully reproduced, when FFM uses them, and those for other magazines sometimes so sloppy. Agebite of Inwit: pp. 3 to 6. Doc should either use more muscle when entering stencils or invest in a bottle of type-cleaner. On white paper it would be more legible, but the faint mimeoing on the morbid semi-colored paper makes you save it for near the end of the mailing. Of course it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black in reverse; but it's so easy to mimeo decently. Open Letter to Anglofans: I still think Forry ought to put out a nice FAPA magazine regularly, of decent size. Interesting in this item is 43J's ambition to visit England after the war, and the way it brings to mind similar determination on the part of a number of other fans. Offhand, only Holmes and Levy come to mind as having stated their intent to visit America, but I'm sure there are others. The California Mercury: vol. 2, no. 4. News sheets through the FAPA usually pretty well antedated. A nice neat production job, though. A [illegible] of the Evans. Dunno whether this is going to be a regular appearing publication, but I sure hope so. It's a wonderful feeling to know that [illegible] Frans and Koenig will still be around regardless of how deep the draft reaches. The only problem, if the war is still going on ten years from now, is which one will be top fan, since only they two will be fans and both are much too modest to vote for themselves. Horizons: vol. 3, no. 2. The cover from Marconette never came. We're hoping for one for this issue. The poem was typed from a badly over-used carbon, and some of the last pages were just about unreadable. Trudy tells us that no one else realized she wasn't in dead earnest over her articles two mailings past. That made me, of course, very happy. Regarding the beer can business, Elmer Persons made in a letter dated Jan. 15, 1942: "Milty advises that he has a story the reprint Science Fiction Quarterly. Moreover, he advises that he inserted for [illegible] but to fill up space, & description of how to band up beer cans. On [illegible] would I be able to collect ten per cent from Milty because I was his [illegible] the gentle art?" Which should close up permanently the physical culture [illegible]. Stf Hash: vol. 1, no. 1. Harry makes us very happy when he refers to The Hermit of Hagerstown. I insist that I deserve that title, but some other U. S. fans, notably Larry Shaw, are calling themselves The Hermit of Schenectady and such. There are also several Hermits in England, but in the interests of international unity they may remain such until the war ends.) I shall argue the question with anyone who wishes. Most important, I've done no traveling around to visit fans in other towns, and several who have been giving themselves that title have. Further, The Hermit of Hagerstown is nice and alliterative: The Hermit of Schenectady sounds a little silly. Jenkins had no expecting another Casanova [illegible] said about Stf. Hash. And it's not at all bad. First page is better than the second, as others will certainly point out. [Illegible] no. 2. I can hardly believe that cover lettering was done without some sort of mechanical aid. If it isn't traced, Art should get a job as a painter; he's wasting his time cooking soap. '' The idea that war is a common way of thinning out mankind doesn't quite click. It seems as though Mother Earth would find a less complicated means of knocking off her children; it would be foolish to go to all the trouble of giving them brains and letting them fight out such things on the Sudetenland when a new sort of germ could do a much better or cheaper job. When too, wars don't kill off so terribly many people, perhaps the figures available, but would be willing to state with assurance that no more than two million people have been killed by wars over the past thirty years; that's only one person in every thousand [illegible] far toward reducing the population. That, of course, is the [illegible] of the question; other aspects we'd better not delve into. [Illegible] says he will step down, the "War never settled anything to the [illegible] of Mankind" statement in Phanny. We absolutely insist on an issue of Yhos each mailing. Phanny: vol. 1, no. 2. The format is interesting for its differentness, but has its drawbacks. For utilization of all of a stencil, full legal size is
