editor: JOHN L GERGEN honorary editor: JOE FORTIER ________________________________________ Amsterdam, Ohio Manse Brackney has all you fellows who asked for Br-r-rack! down for the 2d issue. There was only a limited number of the 1st issue printed, and the demand somewhat exceeded the supply. Copies of issue #2 may be had from Manson Brackney, 152 Arthur ave SE - Mpls, Minn. --jlg A few new fanzines received here recently. A copy of Paradox arrived quite awhile ago, The Rogue's Gallery arrived a few days ago, and Imagi-Music early in the week. I definitely liked the first one - it's a very neat item, and one which should be gotten by all fans. Frank Wilimczyk, Jr, is the editor - 3 Lewis st - Westfield, Mass, and the price is 10¢ per, 3/25¢. ' The Rogue's Gallery was quite a disappointment, tho. I liked the idea of the thing quite a lot, but the presentation wasn't any too good. Suddsy tried to inject bits of humor in the whole thing, and got it in places where it didn't belong. I'd like to see this done again, with new biographic, and mimeod on better paper than 2d sheets. A L Schwartz, 229 Washington st - Dorchester, Mass; 10¢ per copy. Imagi-Music was a vast improvement over the 1st ish. There is a fine sketch of Johannes Brahms on the cover, and several articles and musical descriptions to make a well-balanced magazine. The duplication is on firm, white paper, and well mimeod, and the cover is a litho. Henry Ackermann is editor and publisher - 5200 Maple ave "Pimlico" - Baltimore, Maryland. --jlg Sherm Schultz, MFS member, and writer, illustrator, reported to his draft board last Tuesday, and learned that he'd been put in 4F. Sherm had applied for voluntary enlistment, but will probably try to find work in the cities here. --jlg The MFS has finally gotten down to earth! Plans for the club stationery were discussed at the Jan 24th meeting, and Art Osterlund is working on the design right now. As soon as he gets this finished, the job will be sent to New York to be litho'd, or else one of the local firms will do it. At any rate, we will probably have it done very soon. ' Art Osterlund brought around the third Tycho's cover, and it's really excellent. He's been doing quite a lot of illustrating recently for the MFS pubs, and much of his stuff will show up soon. You correspondence fiends might like to get in touch iwith a coupla new fans, too. Art Saha, 2828 1/2 3rd ave E - Hibbing, Minnesota, and Charles Albertson, 3740 3rd ave S - Mpls, Minn, would probably appreciate any letters you fellows might like to send. Art has been getting really active lately, and Charlie wants to. The MFS will probably have a few more of their members in the Fapa pretty soon, too, if those members can help it. Gordy Dickson, Charlie Albertson, and Manse Brackney have been giving the idea some thought for quite some time, and might decide to do something about it soon.... Looks like this next Fapa mailing will be quite all right. Walt Liebscher says he'll have Walt's Wramblings in every mailing, Bronson will have to have some contribution in, and the other members seem to have contributed well. And, fans, don't forget to send in those little doings. I haven't received a single postal since the last one more than two weeks ago by Laney. Just jot the item down on a postal and send it to 22,1 etc. With co-operation, the Bulletin can get around much sooner - so help! --jlg
