Fragments (Editorial) Since democracy is the greatest hope of the world and is the basis of our government, it must be made flawless. This can be cone by ceaseless ephor on a man's part to better himself. He should think not so much in terms of material possessions, as in terms of spiritual and mental possessions. Then, elevated to a higher plane, and free from idleness and procrastination, he will urge himself on to utopian achievement. The danger that lies before man is war. Man may overcome this; he must, if he doesn't want to ruin. Man must resist that atmosphere from which slowly gathering about his mind leads him to chaotic and purposeless war. Whether the ultimate end will be a dying, war torn world or not, no one knows. However, if a man masters himself and keeps his science from going made, there is a possibility that he will survive and that his democracy will not crumble to dust. Let us arise from these realms of futility, and through intense laboring and striving reach broader heights from which we will look down with shame at that narrow rut (of blind materialism) to which our thoughts were bound. (Larry B. Farsaci, in "The Incandescent," 1938) "I guess you never get happy except by thinking more about other people...People's faces are so handsome when they're happy." (Christopher Morley, in "Kitty Foyle") Art should nourish the mind, not drown it." (F. Marion Crawford, in "With the Immortals") "It's all in your mind...nothing else counts much." (John D. Swain, in the "Lucifer") STARS is A Golden Atom Publication published occasionally. This, first issue, is a supplement to the ninth issues of Golden Atom, which will be out in a few months. "Stars" is being mailed to all regular readers of "Golden Atom," and is also an FAPA publication with hired-for revival of that organization. Address; Stars, 48 Lewis Street, Rochester, New York. Currently in Fanstaci Novels is "The people of the Golden Atom," the second complete book length story following "The Blind Spot." Rya Cumming's Argosy autobiography is nicely brought up to date. There are three short stories including, "Spawn of the Infinitude," and A. Merritt's first story, "Through the Dragon Glass," illustrated by Finlay. The one poem in the issue is Robert Lowndes, "To Edgar Allen Poe," which is ta prurient from the March-April, 1937, issue of the Phantagrapgh of Wollegeim's earlier publication. Coming features in the Golden Atom include "Hidden Treasure Found in Magazines," by Melvin Korshak, and the "Golden Dawn." Watch for these!
