26 WHO SAID THAT? PLUTO ened here. I'm not sure just what his reactions were this time on seeing it happen. Most enjoyable thing in the issue were the letters, outside of the reproduction and different color inks. Also Ackerman & Reinsberg, Sienkiwicz, the prize contest, and many other things pleased. Another thing I'm glad to see that you aren't making PLUTO all the nuttiness articles like the one on the Indiana Fantasy Association, & Rajocz's Science column, help break the monotony of fan humor, that sometimes doesn't click. Rarely do I grow enthusiastic about a fan magazine. Here's one case though, where I do! Sincerely, Harry Warner, Jr. Ladiez & gents, in this corner-r-r-r, ORKIDS, from friend, HARRY WARNER. ********************************************************* From Chicago, Ill. PLUTO, Lit, Sci & Hpb., Club. Gang: PLUTO leads the mimeoed fan mag field! With it's classic third issue, PLUTO mounts a pedestal bedide IMAGINATION! and other fan mag immortals. The profuse use of multi-color mimeo ink is effective, beyond the wildest hopes of we poor mortals. The stories articles and fan dope are superlative. Don't change PLUTO. It's utter uniqueness placed it in a class by itself; its quality will keep it there. Seriously though, we of the midwest are proud of PLUTO, not only because of its sky-rocket to fame, but because it represents the most challenging effort ever to come out of the midwest. And because the group behind it, lost no time from rising from obscurity, to the position of one of the most active circles in fandom, and is an integral part of the midwest scheme of things. In a manner speaking, PLUTO heralds the approach of the era when a unified midwest fandom will lead the field. Plutonically, Mark Reinsberg. If our hearts were as cold and un-movable as an iceberg, We'd still succumb to this sincere flattery of Mark Reinsberg. ********************************************************* From Columbia, South Carolina. Dear Gents- On #3 PLUTO: The cover was good. don't like the cover arrangement, for some reason tho. But that's a personal reaction. "Business Is Verse", just crazy enough to be funny as hell." Spontaneous Generation is interesting; my conception of life is entirely different, tho. Knight's unpronouncable was overdone a bit. "Uncivilized" was fair. I don't quite like the idea of a science column in a fan mag, but that's another personal reaction. Stuley's bit was OK. "----And Behold" a nice bit of satire. "Who Said That?" & Bright Stuff are your finest features. Mrs Manning's revelation of what STF did to her household, was okay, too. I disagree with too many of your selections of the "PFO to like it, but the HAMS part is OK. For one thing I disagree most emphatically with the selection of Page's stinko in UNKNOWN, "Space Liner" in Unknown, & Space Liner X-87" in PLANET STORIES. "Famous Jokes", good clean fun. It'll be a slaughterhouse for Forrie Ackerman
