Dear Art: I just got on this ship and it looks easier than the last one I was on. It's a hand firing job, but that makes less work for the coal passer. The fire-hold is entirely different from that of the Stone ((the ship Bill worked on last summer)). I'll let you know later where to reach me. I'm sorry to have left you with the mimeoing to do, but once you get used to that machine it'll work like a charm without some of the annoyances that bother you at first. Yours, BILL GROOVER (aboard the S.S.CaptainYoung HERE LIETH HORROR by Genevieve K. Stephens Where lieth horror ? A corpse -- White bones -- Dim headsones In the night ? Here lieth horror, A room enfolded In the winter dusk Sans light Sans laughter And sans sound Except the beating Of the heart. "The other day, I wrote in to Joe Kennedy, praising the suggestion of Francis T. Laney, who in his article advocated the establishment of a new bureau, by the NFFF, whose purpose would be to help fans in procuring fanmags. It also would help the new editor as far as finances go. The editor would send a batch of zines into the bureau and the bureau would save them, sending them out when requested. The establishing of this new office would be a boon to fans. Not only would it give more fans more zines to read, but it would encourage the publishing of more fanzines. "To do this we probably would need the aid and resources of the NFFF. The only way we can have this service is to demand it. Right now the NFFF is a sluggish organization. The only way to get the things we want, is to demand them!" --Ben Singer, in THE MUTANT, Vol I, No. 2 ((Now that the N3F has revived somewhat, perhaps this suggestion should receive some serious consideration. What do YOU think?)) 23
