THE ROCKET NEWS LETTER to attract more members to the Society; and to transform, to the extent that our limited resources and effort can succeed, the public acceptance of rocketry into public demand for a flight to the moon at the earliest possible moment. Our publicity material should now begin to stress that the day of the conquest of space is at hand -- is practically here -- and that the SOCIETY offers everyone interested in taking part in the accomplishment of this ages-old dream, opportunity to participate. In other words, let's sell tickets to the bandwagon. And, at the same time, by emphasizing the imminence of space flight, we can fan the desire of the public for speedier progress. The objectives of SOCIETY publicity should be: 1) to interest people in joining by showing them that they can help conquer space through activity in the Society, and 2) to fan the acceptance of space flight into demand for its early accomplishment. This is a far cry from Grant's conviction that the Society concentrate on selling the potentialities of rocketry. (to be continued) SOCIETY ANNOUNCEMENTS: Changing of future monthly meeting nights from the third to the first Friday was decreed effective 5 January 1951 following the meet scheduled in November. Place: Roosevelt College, Chicago, Illinois Room 518. THE OCTOBER MEETING: Preceding a discussion of production work and financial aspects of the Society, our blackboard was host to a graphic and interesting account on the subject of "Micro Rockets," showing in theory how these small rockets may well be receptors of information, if so directed, in the area on and about the moon. This apt account given by Wayne Proell. Destination Moon was judged a picture worth seeing on space flight. A committee of J. Grant and R. Friberg was directed to further the controversy on the Chicago-Detroit Rocket Society merger. PERSONALS: We welcome into the Society, Richard Stultz as associate member from California. ATLANTIS: Scheduled January publication by Sprague de Camp is the 100,000 word opus magnus on the enigmatic subject -- Atlantis -- INTERESTED IN MATHEMATICAL ELECTRONICS? A postcard to Condor Radio, 6501 West 83rd St. Los Angeles 45, California will get you a monthly (easily read and understandable) newsletter on various phases of electronic computers, scalers, programmers, etc. Mention the journal of space flight. The material appears to be of general application to spaceship design. MAGAZINE "GALAXY": The editors have received publicity press releases and the first issue of the new magazine "Galaxy," and in review find the aging "Astounding Stories" has met a first rate match. However we don't understand how the "Galaxy" press releases, describe what the public reaction was to an event which hasn't happened. rocket fuel.
