THEIR OWN RETARD by H. C. Koenig ROM "This and That" in The Alchemist, Volume 1, Number 2. "For you rabid (or morbid) collectors, Five Novels is featuring a science fiction story in the March number called "Vandals of the Sky" by John Murray Reynolds. It looks pretty fair though I haven't read it as yet."
     (I'll bet you just love picture books, don't you Lew? You should get in touch with the secretary of the Los Angeles Chapter, SFL. He's quiet an expert in reviewing stories - - by looks without reading.)
     From "City Desk" in Science Fiction Weekly, Volume 1, Number 6. "D. B. Thompson of Lincoln, Neb. writes: "Do you know of any fans interested in, and conversant with, the sythetic language called Latino Sine Flexions or Interlingua? I spent a few hours studying a book on Interlingua and then wrote a letter in that language to another fan (Mrs Beasley of Lyndon, Kansas.) She had never heard of the language, yet she read the letter without difficulty."
     (I wish, D. B. T., that you had never heard of that language (?) either. For the love of Allah, please confine your writing to Mrs Beasley. Right now, I have enough worries on my hands with Esperanto. I don't want to have trouble with you.
     And, Mr Editor, may the curses of Cthulhu, Yog-Setheth and at least 7 of the Elder Gods fall upon you for publishing that letter. I hope that every contribution you get from now on will be written in Interlingua. So help me.)

     YOUR FANMAG REVIEWER SAYS:
     Now is the time to get:
     Voice of the Imagi-Nation (now bi-monthly), April, 1940, Morojo, Box 6475 Metropolitan Station, Los Angeles, Cal., (10 [cents sign]). For a nifty line-up of commentary letters, both serious and whimsical from all over the fan-world. Particularly interesting is a reprint from an FAPA magazine put out by Milton A. Rothman: "Science Fiction is Escape Literature." Positively a "must."
     Scienti-Snaps, April 1940, Walter E. Marconette, 2709 East 2d Street, Dayton, Ohio, (10[cent sign]). For "The Chestnut Mare" by David H. Keller, "Introducing L. Sprague de Camp" by that person in collaboration with associate editor Miske, and "Men & the Universe" by A. Merritt. Particularly best mimeographing and good layout.
     MSA Bulletin, April 1940, Jerry Leader, 49 Washington Street, Rumford, Maine (5 [cents sign]_. For news and comment of by, and about the Maine Scientifiction things and stf. A lively and interesting bulletin.
     Fantasy-News (Letter to Dick Wilson from W. S. Sykera: "Dear Dick: Sam Moskowitz sent me 20 [cents sign] in coin for a subscription to Fantasy-News for you. Unfortunately, I cannot accept this money from you for a sub to FN. As you know, Jimmy had been refusing to issue subs to you Futurians, and part of my agreement with him when I took over the reigns was to adhere to this policy. So you see, I am forced to return your money. //I believe you would be wise to tip the other fellows off as regards this, so that they would not waste their time or money tryin to subscribe.") So, you see, readers we just can't review Fantasy-News.
