WRANGLINGS by Wentworth
Surprise! Surprise! Quick, don't walk, but run to your nearest copy of the December 16, 1942, issue of Fantasy Fiction Field Week-ly. And what have we here! Oh, you'll never guess! It's some-thing really wonder, something that Editor Ungor had to get down on bended knee and beg for, before the writer would condescend to bestow his precious words upon Triplo-F. Why certainly! It's that beloved of all columns, "The Time Stroam", be our old favorite himself, Sam Moskowitz! Among other excruciatingly-interesting items in this informative column, Sam informs us that the army was "in ocstasios(?) over his physique" (Ooooooh! Aahhhh!), that "JAMES V> TAURASI HAS ACTUALLY AND FINALLY BEEN INDUCTED AND HAS BEEN IN THE ARMED FORCES FOR OVER A MONTH!" (Migawd! Don't be so abrupt, Samyool--me weak heart, you know). Sam states that he has been "wandering around New York trying to find people to say goodbye to", as he's been accepted by the army. Don't look too hard, Sam. save some of that boundless energy for the army. Well, well, well, by all means let's have more of Moskowitz. For God's sake, we can't lose such a wonderful, modest personality to the army!

SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 1943: During the afternoon, Tech. Sergeant Shinn, long-distance member of the LASFS arrived at the new clubroom at 637 1/2 S. Bixel, finding only Bronson there.... (God! What a reception! Tillywish.) ((Tillywish, you're fired! PRB.)) Later on the as-yet empty clubroom at vacated in favor of a lunch pre-pared by Morojo's able hands. At the lunch-call, Bronson ran so fast that a new screen door will have to be installed. During the meal, Shinn entertained by recounting various anecdotes and describing an ancient grimoire in his possession which, upon examination, proved to be bound in human skin! Later in the af-ternoon Shinn and Morojo departed to visit Forry Ackerman, confined to bed, after suffering a relapse of his illness (he had previously been in the hospital for a considerable length of time). Freehafer and Yorko arrived in the evening and the trio left the hollow-sounding chamber in search of dinner. After satisfying the inner-man they paid a visit to Forry, who was still pretty ill. Following this, the three j-- ((Tillywish!)) --fans went to see "Forever and a Day" in Hollywood. 
---Randolph Tillywish.
