slightly above average bridge and Astaire-like dancing. I'm not kidding about the latter. I really enjoy tripping the terpischorean and have reason to believe I'm a prett smooth feller. My wife tells me so.
I'm not introverted. I'm not extroverted. I take the middle road and am very mercurial in disposition. Some people say it's temperament. My wife says its temper. I say I've never seen so many "I's" in my life as the number used in the last two paragraphs. But believe it or not, there's not much egotism in my makeup. All that has long since been jarred out of me. Every time I begin to think I'm smart I come up with the dumbest bit of brainwork. It's all very confusing, but just bear with me and remember that this "auto" was not MY idea!
THE END

Rebuttal to S. Ships and S. War. Concluded from page 28

non, and load it with grape shot or some other metal shot made just for that purpose. With a long barrel on your gun, there won't be too much divergence, but you still have a much better chance of hitting the target than you would have with a single shot. And if I were the enemy, there is nothing I should like less than to have my ship riddled with small holes. It would be deuced embarressing.
Your "shot" won't lose speed due to air resistance and you won't have any trajectories to plot. Did someone mention the gravitational effect of the ships themselves? Well ---
A 10,000-ton, 100-foot ship would have the tremendous pull of .00000265 g's at its surface. In other words, the maximum acceleration the gravity of such a ship could produce would be .0000085 ft. per sec. It would take an object 14 minutes to fall one foot in that gravity. Let's forget about trajectories!
THE END

The Telecaster. Concluded from page 18.

dering what the hell, and unable to find any semblence of a 3911 Park St. The ironic thing about the who business is that Gilbert moved just before he received her card, so that even if she had found the correct Park street, Gilbert would have been most conspicious by his absence. He's still trying to convince her that he exists.
Milty Rothman tells us that Lester Del Ray, the Astounding author, has at last cleaned his room. He sounded very awed and incredulous about it all, and having heard of the famous Del Ray room we can readily imagine why. Milty also tells us that Jack Speer has a new car, "The Spirit of Foo Foo". Both of them ran down to see Russell Chauvenet a while back, and Jack will probably drive the Spirit to the Denvention.
A note to  Jack Townsend, Al Maxwell, Joe Hudson, and you other southern fans -- howse about joining up, fellows? The dues are only fifty cents a year, you receive printed stationary -- the DIXIE FANTASY FEDERATION is the first American fan organization to offer free printed stationary to its members -- stickers, a printed membership card, voting priveleges, a two-bit cut on a year's sub to the STAR (the subscription price to No'th'nuhs is fifty cents to DFF members only a quarter) and members are welcome to join the Southern group trip to the Denvention. Dues may be paid to the DFF's Secretary, pro-tem, Joe Gilbert, at 3600 Grand St., Columbia, South Carolina. And don't forget, please, that we want to hear from all of you.
See you here again next issue. Cheerio, everyone.
