               WHO SAID THAT?
Fans, 
   I have just received vol-1. #-3 of PLUTO. I ran though it smoothly until I ran into a small pink slip saying, "your subscription has expired---- (etcetera)". Now I knew that slip boded evil. I had no right in one of my favorite mags. In fact it bore a distinct resemblance to a rejection slip. All normal fans receive them. I hate rejection slips (Who doesn't?) Well, I turned it over, & it still said the same thing although I couldn't read it. Finally after puzzling over the thing---several hours, I decided to consult my Genie. I rubbed the magic MAZDA and he oozed out, "resubscribe!" he said, handing me twenty-seven cents in stamps. (Generous, wasn't he?)
   "No, No! I screamed, "Anything but that!" But after awhile, I came to my senses and decided, though horribly extravagant, it was my only course. So I am sending them to you. But you had better send me the next PLUTO, quick, because everytime my brain goes funny, when I think of it, and I want to go to you & get my stamps back.
                Yours truly,
               Jack Townsend.

It appears that PLUTO
   Tried to be an old meanie, 
But he couldn't slip one over
   On your faithful Genie!
