PLUTO           WHO SAID THAT?                23
way, but there are only two trains going through Spencer, Ind, daily. One goes N. to Indianapolis at 9 am, ant other S. to Vincennes, about, 7 pm. I found this out at 8:55 am, and was appalled at the prospect of idling in Spencer the next ten hours. I sprinted furiously to make it to the train, which I just did. If the morning train had been going, to Vincennes, or If I had missed the Indianapolis train, you would still have seen me.
   Up to about 8:30 am, I still had hopes of getting my bike fixed, but on learning how much it would cost and how long it would take, I sold the bike for junk, & made it to the R.R. station. Then the amazing news about the train schedule, & the furious sprint. 
   Bright Stuff By Chillun, is a lovely department. I like "Who Said That" & Prof. Paul. "Gloobermory" is my nomination for the best in the issue. "And Behold" appeals also. DPUPCPI is good.
   "DETOURS" #3 will give you some competition in the color line Also will have HCKoenig's column, "Their Own Petard", as a regular feature from now on.
   Am planning another trip to meet some of the fans, next summer; already saving pennies for a motorcycle. With that I'll go out thru the west, to determine whether FJA is more impressive that the Grand Canyon, or vise versa. Will now doubt see you then if I make the trip.
                Amicably,
             Russell Chauvenet.

Russell got to Spencer,
   When his "bike" broke down.
He was darn near stranded
   In a "2 train" town.
But we'll see him next year
   If the "fates" don't "frown."

Dear Fellows,
   Confound it, wish I could take time to review completely this perfectly "knockoutish" number of PLUTO, (3d) but duty calls elsewheres. However, "money talks", they say, so you may take from the attached 50¢ for a half dozen extra of this ish that I'm sold on it being something to circulate. Frankly I prefer an amazingly mimeoed fan mag, like this than one professionally printed.
                          4 e
   P.S. Lykt Mrs Marvis Manning's article best in the ish.

                                 i
             Nice words from
             A co-editor of VOM.
                             i i 
   In case you're never read "The Voice", better send for it pal,
   Only 10¢, box 6475 Met Station, Los Angeles, Cal.

Hi Spivis & the Gang:
   Oh! Boy, what a mag, it's stupendous! I've never seen such beautiful mimeographing, especially the back cover. I'd sure like to do a cover in four colors like that, (counting the black) sometime. The only improvement you could possibly have made was to add more pages-and you did. 
   I liked "Hams & Pros" best with bright Stuff By Children", next.

Saving...
