British fandom may be considered dead today, Australian fandom well on its way out, and, of course, budding French fandom was nipped by the outbreak of war. If we are tricked into the fracas across t h e water, American fandom will doubtlessly go the same way . . . and Tucker wants to know what relevancy the war situation has to the Chioon. /"Mutation or Death" can be obtained at this address @ .05 per copy. W e advise any fans interested to send in at once as the supply is low./ APOLOGY WE REALLY DO FEEL BLUE about having left out the Chicon couplet last issue, thus ruining the record we intended to make. However, here is the missing jingle. When vacations arrive, don't be dumb; Come to Chicago by scooter or thumb. - - - Joe Gilbert page two
