PAGE 17 -- MIDWEST FANOTES -- Steps have gone forward on the organization of an MFS fanmag library recently, after much consideration and little action. Since the inception of the MFS BULLETIN, and trades of that with other fanzines, the library has grown. To date, LEZ, LEP, NEBULA, SPACEWAYS, POLARIS, FE&P, and VOM have agreed to trade every issue for every ish of the BULLETIN. It is a worthy project, and will help many of the MFS members who are at present inactive to get started. The MFS has been trying for a year or so to get some club stationery printed, but nothing has ever actually been done about it. However, if nothing is done about it, Phil, Morrie, and Gergen plan to do something sometime soon. "Fantasia" has returned here and Gergen plans definitely to see it, having missed it the 1st time it got around. The next BULLETIN should be out about the time this is. TYCHO should be out within a couple of weeks. Sam Russell has become one of the associate editors of THE FANTASITE, the mag that changes its staff with each issue. He is also planning to join the FAPA, already having published a one-sheeter he calls SCIENCE FICTION GOO which is to be distributed with the coming issue of THE FANTASITE. FROM THE FAN NEWSHOUNDS--- Nick Kenealy is a staff sergeant with MacArthur's forces. . . . .Graph Waldeyer is with the Volunteers. . . .Several letters have reported that Ackerman was drafted recently, but no confirmation from Los Angeles has arrived as yet. . . . .Your editor has noticed that two of the toll-takers on the Delaware River Bridge between Philadelphia and Camden have the names Fantazzia and Ackerman. . . .Since he joined the Marines, LeRoy Tackett has become disgusted. He went in hoping to see quick service and found that he like the training. So he catches cot-fever (bronchial pneumonia) and is in the hospital. He spent over three days in bed, & when they let him up last Sunday, was put on duty in the ward. He's found one good thing about hospital life, though. Unlike in training camp, they let him have mags. . . . .Milty Rothman is the latest to leave the PSFS via the Army. He was called for this last Wednesday morning, thus missing the rained-out meeting of Thursday which he had expected would be his last. . . . .Bob Madle, who had long since given up corresponding, has found himself so lonely at camp that he has started again. His address is Q M C, U S Army, Co F, 7th Q M T R at Camp Lee, Virginia. . . .Le Roy Tackett, though in the Marines, is still getting his mail from Fountain, via forwarding. UNDER SURVEILLANCE... THE FANTASITE for May and June has been out for quite a while, but it is worth reviewing. Although the back cover should have been put on the front, even at cost of leaving the bare back, the inside of it is full of good stuff. "Hellfire" and Smith's "Fantasiana" fight it out for top spot, presenting opposite slides of a current argument, and a fair set of reviews is presented. John Chapman has an assortment of oddities called "Forgotten Mysteries" which might make you wonder a little about the "if" of stf, and Yerke pulls a satire obviously directed at van Houten and his latest "SAYS". THRILLING WONDER STORIES--October. Although this starts off with one of the regular blood-and-thunder cover jobs, it is a fair issue. A honey of a short-short is done by Joe Gilbert, and Bond has a rollicking novelet about a robot. A new amateur contest winner gets in with "Time (hop back over to p 16)
