slick format about this time. And authors would be introducing the idea by writing yarns for the other mags of the slick class - yarns which feature this Conclusion." About this time the average fan will be thinking of the average rebuttal to all this presented by that smart Joe, but here's the sinker to the whole topic: "If you look this over, you'll begin to see why I think that this will eventually become fandom's purpose - whether we do anything about it or not! Considering the ternds of fandom for the past few years, and the subjects and controversies which have been introduced, it seems almost destined. "But this I wonder: how much quicker could it happen if fandom were aware of its possibilities?" That's what I wonder, Gibson, but I doubt if all of this will speed up events. Fandom contains too many dunderheads who won't accept a change as presented, who can't even admit to themselves that fandom is getting the needle of a new life right now. However, the shot in the arm for fandom has 'taken' with a few, such as James Kepner, Everett Evans, etc, down to such unmentionables as Joe Fortier. Oyeh, a customer complains that I haven't quoted one hunk of philosophy in a week or more, not even a Cohn crack. All right, chum, how about Tschaikowsky's historic remark: "To regret the past, to hope in the future, and never to be satisfied with the present - this is my life." Let's see Freddie Martin make something of that. ******************* Despite the fact that I'd love to kid along with Doc Daugherty some more, I wanted to reveal first-hand rocketry scoops, I wished to continue plugging Gibson's Post-War Fandom ideas I wished to continue firing Blue Blazes at that Mongo-id Flash Gordon Dickson, and I'd like to talk like this all fit for Of the Dope, By the Dope, and For the Fan, despite this and the fact that I'd like to keep on talking about myself in an entirely abstract manner, this is all I have to say--- "Fans are laying five to one odds that Fortier and/or Reitrod will write another column, and many more, service call or no service call - nay - never quite writing them. I'm for the underdog." Hell Fire was regular, whether timely or not, and now that it's gone, for second-best reading while 'm in the Aviation Cadets I'll pick "The Wright Idea" by that Ryt guy, as long as he can continue to keep dodging the draft. Now! get out and buy War Bonds & Stamos - II hate to take a back seat to such bums as Pvt Fortier - the MFS Bulletin's Honrary Efitor.
