[IMAGE] Here's Looking at you! This is the new ORB. Admittedly, there have been better [vol's ?] than this, but it would hurt my kittenish pride to say so. I'm very proud of this. It has taken many many hours of work on the parts of Ella and me...and Ella certainly speeded up the process. If she hadn't helped as much, we would have been even later. Admittedly, ORB has a new policy, new layout, better material, etc. But the thing you needed least has not been gotten rid of. Ummhmm. The editor. I try - honestly I do, to be a staid and sober edds, but I fail miserably. It's not my nature. I bubble.... About our authors: Emil Petaja has been doing writing for Weird Tales and Fantastic Adventures. I hope you like his work in this issue. Ralph Brady has never done fanzine work, and this is purely a chance manuscript. Agatha Grey Southern, is one of our poetesses, and is a great-grandmother, 70-plus years young! I think you'll recognize her tour-de-force, as a very brilliant satire on the bem-femme-lem interplanetary love and mush saga. A few mistakes were made in the typing of the poem that were for some reason not read through in the proofs. I just noticed 'em. One in particular: where it says on the second page..."if he's any" it's supposed to be "if he'd any." Cover next issue: Ralph Rayburn Phillips. Stories: Carol Lowrey, Betsy Curtis, and perhaps another. Subscriptions from the people who are receiving this issue of ORB free of charge will be thankfully (sob) appreciated. This issue cost about $90 to run, and that's an awful deep hole to fall in! Especially since my job at the Credit Bureau went the way of all things human. They needed full-time help, and I just helped out on Satdys and after school, thus no job since they finally got someone to work full time. --Never fear, ORB will come out close to schedule somehow, probably though courtesy of R. Wright's "Little Press"....cross my bridges when I come to 'em..... The next issue will appear in Early February of '51, so I'll take the opportunity [?] wish you all THE HAPPIES OF HOLIDAYS! 'Bye now, Bob
