NEW FANDOM, 23 witz's hands, Sam proceeded to read it aloud to all, while Taurasi tore her hair & Sykora fumed, "Throw it in the gutter where it Belongs!" (the pamphlet, not Taurasi's hair.) A chaotic condition existed for about 15 minutes, during which time Host Weisenger excused himself as he had a hard cold. Finally the crowd broke up into various groups. That of which I was a member included Dale Hart, Morojo, Robt. A. Madle. "4e" Ackerman & Mark Reinsberg. While we went to a drugstore to find the phone number of Julius Unger, stf salesman, if he had one, I saw the J buy several books: "Green Mansions & Topper". Unger apparently had no phone but it was decided to take a chance (it was nearing 9 o'clock) & go anyway, out to his house which was clear out Coney Island way. After an eventful trip 'twas found Unger was out, but his sweet little sister-in-law admitted us to his sanctorum, where his closeted stock of imaginative items was interestedly inspected & a selection set aside with inquiry re prizes. We left around 11. Upon the request of earnest new fan Mark Reinsberg of Chicago old-timer (yoo-hoo Tucker! ED) Ackerman shouted a history of his early activities in stf all along the subway to Penn Sta., where he (the J) & Morojo departed. Dale had transferred a little earlier, Madle & Reinsberg got off at the same stop as the Pacific Coast pair, retracing a portion of their route. What [became?] of me? That's a rather difficult question to answer since I never have been quite able to remember who I am...

NEW FANDOM, 605 S, 11th, Newark, N.J., is the bi-monthly organ of The New Fandom Club, which concerns itself with science-fiction subjects. Sam Moskowitz, the editor, says "New Fandom" is not a professional magazine. It is an amateur endeavor. Therefore, though there are few publications in the country more open to beginning writers, we do not pay for material (except in the case of non-members of New Fandom where payment is merely a copy of the issue containing their material)." FANTASY NEWS, 137-07 32nd Ave., Flushing, New York, is a pseudo--scientific fan magazine appearing weekly, and edited by James V. Taurasi. It uses news of fantasy and pseudo-scientific interest, occasional very short stories and articles of fantastic nature. There is a length limit of 600 words and no payment beyond a copy of the magazine in which contribution appears."
