Page Seven M S A BULLETIN April 1940 SUGGESTION NO. 1 That all members who have unsual stf books or magazines allow others to read them. FREE?????? Certainly not! It is, or should be, a well known fact that our Association is struggling along under financial difficulties, which is to be understood considering its youthful infancy. Members wishing to read these books or magazines to pay pestage and a nickel reading fee, said fee to be turned over to the sec- retary. I am offering The New Adam, Back to the Stone Age by E. R. Burroughs, the latest of this Pellucidar series, The Mem- bers of Satan, a little known, put very good book, also Switch On The Light, an English book of weird stories. What have you to offer? Let's have more suggestions for this column. Anything you think will help the MSA or the fan world in general. gwm--ed....... - - - - - - - - Jim Avery recently acquired a new copy of Ray Cumming's famous book, "Tarrano the Con- queror", for 19c from the Var- lety Shop in Skow. Your editor picked up the same item at the Waperville shop for 17c. Wool- worth's has "When Worlds Col lide" for 39c, well worth get- ting, which the Secundus also did. Van Onlooker Says: The supply of these things is terrific and huge quantities can be turned put in practically no time at all. Present plans call for one a day and two on Sundays. Maybe at the end of the year, 400 of them can be gathered in- to an omnibus and distributed gratis to my friends a la SaM. Needless to say "present plans" mentioned above have not mat- erialized and Editor Secundus may not get more than a dozen! We understand that some of the authors who write for WEIRD TALES are forming a boycott, not to seel WEIRD any more of their stories until Farnsworth Wright has been reinstated at his old desk. We also understand that Wright doesn't want to be reinstated. You can take this info for what it may be worth; we have heard the rrumor; and where there's heat there should be a fire. PRO MAGS H. Bedford-Jones who wrote for WEIRD TALES a few years ago, has written a series of Adven- tures of a Professional Corpse. The first, "The Artificial Honeymoon" will appear in the July issue of WEIRD. . . . . . . . Margaret Brundage who doesn't remember her lovely and much - discussed nudes?) has done the cover of the July WEIRD, illus- trating the Bedford-Jones story. Other authors to appear in the July number are Gans T. Fields, Seabury Quinn, and Helen Wein- baum. . . . . . . . . ARGOSY: The magazine which is featuring some of the finest stf. and fantasy published to- day; the magazine from which F. F. M. gets its popular and acclaimed masterpieces: There have been nine stf. and fantasy stories featured so far this year. "Thunder To morrow" another in the popular series by Arthur Leo Zagat ... There have also been two ser- rials; the Green Flame by Eric North; the other a sequel to the "classic of tomorrow" Min ions of the Moon by Wm. Gray Beyer; Minions of Mars, the further adentures of Mark and Omega. . . . . . . . . . . Send in your news items, art- icles, or ideas today. gwm.
