36            PRIZE CONTEST WINNERS 

                From Esmont, Virginia. 

   Russel--l Chauvenet wins first prize--since we don't want to part with our copy of DETOURS, we can't send it back, so therefore we are mailing 10¢ today-----Nyaahhhhh!!

   Dear Plutonians,
   I'm in a kindly mood today--I'll even forgive you for spelling my name with only one L--ordinarily a heinous crime indeed. (to the GHU FOO room with them!) In fact the only thing I'll do to you for that is enter your prize contest: "Why I think PLUTO, is the PUNKEST of all the SF-FANTASY mags."
   Because they spelled my name wrong on page 28 of their third issue, in the review of FANFARE,
   I'm sure to win 2nd prize: you can't give me first prize because I never sent you a dime---only DETOURS!
               Russel--l  Chauvenet.

              From Payette, Idaho.
   Paul Freehafer--wins second prize--one copy of PLUTO is here added, to your subscription. We're almost tempted to add 2 copies--but, NO!!!

   I might submit an entry in your $PRIZE$ Contest except that rule 3 eliminates all of my ideas. Of course if there are only 5 entries, I might win a prize by saying that PLUTO is a gem of the first water, a production without peer, but someone might accuse me of insincerity, so I won't.    
                   Paul Freehafer.

   Larry, gets the three issue sub---his entry is very SUB-tle, (meaning of course suttel--heh, heh!

   Dear Plutonians,
   "Why I think PLUTO, is the PUNKEST of all the Science & Fantasy Mags-----"
   In the first place, it's got a very gloomy title. Did that ever occur to you?
   Secondly, it features the sappiest humor I've yet seen in a readable fan mag. (The others were quite un-readable.)
   Thirdly, isn't it quite dog-gone.....?

   Joe Gilbert, your letteralmost ties with that of Mr. D.B. Thomson. But If a tie, according to rule 5, no prize would be given. You then, are winner of prize 4. A year subscription to PLUTO. Some fun, Eh Joe?

   Dear Editors PLUTO:
   The principal reason I think PLUTO is the punkest of the fan mags, is the fact that it stinks, stinks stinks, stinks stinks stinks---stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks, and also stinks.
   It also smells.
