16  FOURTH ANNIVERSARY

FANFARE
Does it again!

With its eighth issue, FANFARE now offers three more of the best columns obtainable In fandom.

In addition to the already famous SLAN!DER, THEIR OWN PETARD, and THE GOATHERD, FANFARE brings back the proven stalwarts of
other times and surroundings - DETOURS, by Louis Russell Chauvenet, and FANTASY FOOTNOTES by Harry Warner Jr.

The  third is brand new and unusual. You won't want to miss the rollicking, cralatic humor, and pull-no-punches policy of THUD AND BLUNDER by Ritter
Conway.

Six  top-notch columns is a  lot, but that isn't all you get with FANFARE. You always get STRANGE INTERLUDES,    the biggest & most   interesting collection  of   letters In any fanzine outside of Vom.

Then  there  is DOTS, which tells of the activities of THE STRANGER CLUB; articles, poetry, and departments. Bob
Jones  Is the staff artist, and a much better one could not be found  in the fan field. All
covers will be llthographed    with Assorted Services mlmicrayon process, and perhaps back covers as well.
FANFARE will be mimeographed in two or more colors from now on. 

So--the next  time you have a spare dime or quarter to    invest in a fanzine, think of FANFARE, wi||  ya?    Thanx a  Iot. Yhos,

so this time I found myself avidly soaking up the various letters, and chuckling over the things said therein and groaning at core of what seemed to me childish things said and fought over in a minor key. Tigrina seems to have the boys all a-dither. They say the best way to interest the bachelors, yes and the married men too, for that matter, is to be mysterious, to tantalize them, to raise their curiosity, and what else is this poor li'l frustrated rich gal doing I think though that if she can't participate in what hobbies she likes just because her parents say no that she hasn't any backbone! Either that or she doesn't like fan activity as much as she pretends. Of course, I'll admit she may just be assuming this attitude to have fun with us all. As for anyone being frustrated in this day and age well, that is too decidedly Victorian for my brass-lined stomach to swallow and digest. But maybe she is. Maybe she needs a  little moon-light and lovin' up to right things.
If she does, judging by the letters, I'll bet there wouldn't be any trouble at all finding enough aspirants to help 'unfrustrate' her! 

The cartoons (in #18) were
jolly, especially the one dedicated to the Britishers. It's  just the way I feel at times about this lousy old earth of ours.

Paul Spencer at 259 Yale Sta, New Haven Conn: "While I'm very much in favor of nearly everything in VoM, I'm afraid I can't condone those nudes. Lacking a Petty, VoM's anatomical studies of not particularly high quality even in a field with such limited possibilities. More to the point, this passion for nudes seems to me to indicate a rather deplorable state of mind on the part of fandom. Tch, tch, boys!    

Have you heard that Rudolph Hess is a science fiction enthusiast? It's true, on the authority of no less a publication than the Hartford Courant. and the fact arouses curious speculations in my mind. Wot kind of chaps are these stfans? I wonder what sort of reading matter Hitler likes...
