VOICE OF THE VOICE

Greetings friend & Welcome Stranger! Broadcasting station V-O-M is on the ether again...as an independent unit! Under our new setup U can expect some really radical changes. Some evident this issue; we've other surprises pland for next.

U may've noticed the Table of Contents? This is presented purely as a gag but is the result of a poison pan letter we rcvd too late to include in this issue but which we nonetheless acted on (& the letter will be publisht in its entirety next number).

Also, this ish, we have acted on the wish of an "outer-circle" fan (we hear so much about the "inner", these days) & tryd to make matters more comprehensible for the uninitiate. We see the newcomer easily coud be baffled by the special scientifictionalanguage that includes such an outre array of words, symbols, references & such, as sttan, Nycon, Philco, Chicon, fonepole, O, FuFa, Mokowitz, &c, & so we have included a number of explanations. 

It is the policy of VOICE OF THE IMAGI-NATION, in case U do not noe, to present letters in the order rcvd by the coeds, & in strictly sic style; i.e., we in no way alter the authors' original spelling, punctuation, spacing or any other eccentricity or characteristic. Which incidently makes VOM one the closest proofreading jobs conceivable (to preserve meticulously all those peculiaritys) -- once thruout the dummy & 2dly on each stencil.

Our profound appreciation to GLENN TAYLOR of Kansas City Mo., who wrote: "I regret that I was one of those parsimonious souls who took SS at its word and sent you a measly three center for a copy of VOICE, and I hope the $ bill I inclose for a sub to as far in the indefinite future as it will reach will restore me to your good graces." Glenn, U restore our faith in fankind!

Our Motto: Vom for all & all for Vom!!
