May 1947 VARIANT Page 20 Jones is going to write an article for publication in the VARIANT about his activities. He has four Professor Jameson stories remaining unpublished. Twelve were printed in Amazing, four in Astonishing, and the remaining four complete this series. Donald B. Day recently organized The Portland Science Fantasy Society; they have held two meetings to date, both of which have been rather successful, having an average of ten present, all of whom are mature readers and collectors. They intend to purchase a full page ad in the Philcon program...David H. Keller, M.D., will visit the PSFS early in June and will be the principal speaker. Let's have a good turnout to welcome Dr. Keller -- fans form nearby localities are urged to attend. George O. Smith will also speak at a future meeting on "Pedantry in Writing". The first out-of-state fan has arrived for the Philcon. Yes, we admit it is rather early, but John P. Christman, of Chicago, pulled in the other day, and stated his intentions of staying until after the Philcon. New fan publications: Don Grant's Space Trails, a neatly printed journal consisting of one story reprinted from Planet Stories, "Prison Planet" by Bob Tucker. Dream Quest is announced by Don Wilson, of Banning, California. Notice: Due to a sad mistake, notices are going around that The Big Pond Fund has been given up as a bad job. This is not true. Chances on the big prize are still being taken and it is firmly expected that Ted Carnell will be here for the Philcon. However, in the event that insufficient funds are collected, or that Carnell is unable to attend, the money will be turned over to the next Convention Committee to be used for the same purpose next year. Well, be seeing you next issue.
