very solemn and sorrowful toward Margie, end hope that she has no further unhappy experiences. But efter all, she probably brought it on herself. Fan-Tods--Is there any scientific or cultural reason why the United States apparently does not have a really blue blue mimograph ink? All that I've seen has a definite greenish cast, even unto that contained in Efty-Seven. In Australia, where blue seems to be an issue of Effty--out, superfluous f! --containing nothing but Norm writing in the vain of this issue's By-Ways; could do? The continuing sound and fury on a decimal system for fiction awes me more and more: to think that I started all this! My copy of "The Island of Captain Sparrow" has virtually no foreward; was one omitted from later editions? Milty's Mag--I think you'll find brown-nose as a verb in Studs Lonigan, though if memory serves, Farrell doesn't hyphenate. Fan-dango--Word reaches me that Degler's expulsion resolution passed, so there's nothing to be said about the lead article in this issue, except that I'll have the faint satisfaction of being able to say I told you so, if the things that may result from setting up this precedent do result. I suggest that the simplest and more accurate method of estimating activity per mailing would be by weighing each mailing; while that wouldn't give any indication of quality of content, it would be more accurate in than judging by titles, which method will be wrecked by the Degler contribution to the June mailing. The argument for liquor would hold up if only people who think this is a "hideous and hateful" world used it. Unfortunately, others do too. However, don't number me as a reformer, please! "I try to dispose the tall ones (-books-) on a high shelf immediately beneath the low ones on a lower shelf." I'll believe it when I see it; fourth dimensional rotation, apparently! So Saari--Most promising newcomer to a mailing since Langley Searles' one-shot beauty. I pretty much agree with Ollie throughout except when it comes to temponautics--it is a little long, but has an entirely different use from California, but the initial or initials at the putting out a general sort of publication are along the right line, for such are badly needed in the FAPA, but it's going to be a tough job after the material he has on hand is exhausted. I don't agree with Bill Ryder on the matter of write space, but second his motion for smaller and more frequent issues, am neutral on the cover question, and fear the small and more frequent issues, am neutral on the cover question, and gear the small size format is too much work for the benefits resultant, though folded legal paper makes the ideal sized fanzine. "Alien" has never meant the appearance of a thing to me, but rather its origin or history regardless of what it looks like. Heck, a jar of Martian water will be alien, but not noticeably diffenrent from Mississippi juice unless it happens to be full of some kind of adulterating element that colors it. "Robot's Soliloquy" mom I nominate as the best fan poem of 1944. Investigation in Newcastle: Wish I'd had the courage to publish it myself. The Stump--I'm stumped for comment, since returns on the elections haven't reached me. The Reader and Collector--One, of the very finest issues yet. Hodgson's works, however, are entirely unknown to me, and unavailable locally, so I'm at a loss to comment. Let's have more issus devoted to a single author. Eccentric's Orbit--My, what a brain trust there's be in Washington now, if Speer hadn't gone to Africa! I like immensely they habit of most FAPA fans' introducing themselves briefly when they first become active; Fern, Kepner, and Brown were just three names to me for a long while, but I'm gradually learning to tell them apart. Now that the NFFF is taking over part of the Fancy clopedia responsibility, it's the logical group to do the work of keeping it up to date. I think the best plan would be appointment of one fan as coordinator, charged with bringing together necessary data from a half-donan others who are authorities on different aspects of the fan front. Eddie Clinton's analoysis was more enjoyable than the story itself, as I remember said story. The Phantagraph--well, we can't accuse this prose, if I may judge from the very small amount I've read of the two.
