[Illegible] By Harry Jenkins, Jr. The Columbia Camp is a bare thing of the past. No longer do the Capitol City cops scowl with distaste as a green '41 Plymouth meanders slowly down Main Street at 1 a.m., with the three occupants bawling "Figaro" at the tops of their voices. No longer do the counter-jerks at The Double-Dip curse loudly as the three Camp members barge into the joint just as the jerks prepare to close the joint. Lee Eastman now is practicing tree surgery in Philadelphia, having himself quite a glorious time cutting up--- trees. His poetry is now beginning to satisfy his own strict standards of excellence, and you may soon be seeing some of it in Jinx. Joe Gilbert, after successfully crashing his way into the pulps, is now in Merchant Marine training at St. Petersburg, Florida. His fan activities are restricted, naturally, but he'll be around since he has his Royal with 'im. After Burton Blassingame just succeeded in selling Joe's collaboration with Fred Fischer, "An Adventure For Mr. Adam", it is to be expected that Joe will finish the long detective novelette he had 2/3 completed before he left Columbia. W. B. "Mac" McQueen is working hard at Fort Jackson on a government job, and consequently, his activities are restricted. Your columnist will soon return to school, where he will be a Sophmore in the School of Journalism. Despite the time required for an outside job, we will have almost as much time to spare as before. This means, consequently, that you may soon be expecting The Fantasy Annual, Polaris, Fan Editor and Publisher, and The Southern Start to start rolling again. ((But where are the snows of yesteryear?)) FANCY THOUGHTS IN PASSING By Larry Shaw The fact that I am suddenly engaged in grinding out a second installment of this column is a great surprise to me. Not that I expected to be knifed in the back after I had fired my opening gun as a columnist (it was just those persistent old bill-collectors that I was hiding from, of course), but somehow or other I hain't never known that said opening gun was fired at all. As I type this I still haven't seen the third issue of Scientifun. I imagine it appeared, else why would chum Washington be postaling so desperately for another hunk, but I really wouldn't mind knowing exactly what it looked like in print. I assume that it was called "Fancy Thoughts in Passing", since that is what Raym asked for this time. That ain't what I called
