Comments from Centauri --by The Editor-- Barring some sort of major catastrophe, or perhaps a combination of minor ones such as those which so inexcusably delayed this issue, the third number of Centauri shall appear early in April. As a cover for this, Ronald Clyne has done a lithograph which, incidentally, has a very interesting story behind it; Tom Daniel has sent in an article of fan interest plus, called "Fanwise"; Keith Buchanan has managed another on his ideas of the immediate future of rocketry, and both Francis Laney and Frank Wilimczyk are reported at work on still others. There will be columns by Harry Warner and myself, of course, as well as a new one on stf movies by Charles McNutt. If those of you who read this can also write, by any strange quirk of fate, I may even be able to have a nice, huge letter section. To cap all of this off, Centauri will not be shipped folded or rolled or otherwise mangled starting with the next issue, but will come to you in flat mailing envelopes. Naturally enough, things like those envelopes and lithographs cost a lot of money. I don't begrudge Centauri any of these things, but it's possible that, running short of finances, I may have to cut out some of those costly improvements and perhaps even cut the size of the magazine. My circulation this issue numbers two hundred, but an awful lot of those are sample copies. If you are receiving one of these, or if your subscription has expired, you'll find a small gold star to the left of this. If there is one, and you want to get that super third issue I was thinking about, it's quite in order to send a quarter right away. You'd be surprised how those quarters add up to form dollars and help pay for this darn magazine. --Concluded on Page 14--
