LEZ LETTERS (Continued)

Leonard Moffatt: "Am happy to say that I belong to the distinguished 25%, tho not even an excerpt of one of my missles has appeared in LeZ Letters. Aren't my comments as interesting as others or must we be a famous fan before one has a letter printed in LeZ? Altho it seems doubtful at present as to whether Uranus will ever appear, I still am becoming an active fan. It seems that one of our club members is behind in his dues and --- hmmm --- wonder if the O.K. Smith Co. could help us out?

Comment on Aug. LeZ Dept: Editorial -- you tell 'em Tucker! Denvention Dope -- had already knew most of the stuff (due to Unger's FFF) but Evan's account was more detailed and interesting. Romance of the Elements-- very very punny, how do you get such brainstorms Ticker? Visiting Firemen Dept -- interesting but was surprised to learn that you didn't know about Super Science's new editor. Don't you read FFF? Let-Ettes-- unique as usual; I hope that first one didn't pertain to Uranus. If so, how do you know it stinks? It isn't out yet. O.K. Smith-- hope this is a regular dept for awhile. It's very good! You should write for a living Tucker. (Or do you?)

Have just finished rewriting "My Dream Den" and am inclosing it, in the hopes that it will appear soon in LeZ.

LeZ sez: A lot of things should be cleared up here, so let's go thru Moffatt's letter point by point. First, one doesn't have to be a "famous fan" to get printed in LeZ. All one has to be is a reader, and be able to make words into sentences. Letters published are selected by reason of interest and length, alone, to fill our one or two pages of letters each issue. Second, under the rules as we see them, Moffatt, you are an active fan. You become one when you start writing to or for fanzines. Or so we hold. Third we did not write Romance of the Elements, and thanks to all the readers who thought we did. Kindly notice the 3 names signed to that article, and then turn back to the June issue and find them in the state of Michigan. Fourth, we did not know about the new editor and change of name for Super Science, altho we do subscribe to FFF. For some unexplained reason, six consecutive issues of the newspaper failed to reach our box. Just a few days ago Unger sent us the six missing copies, and we found out about a lot of things for the first time. Fifth, Art Widner contributed the LeZ-Ette about "new fan - new fanzine - phew!" That is Art's pet peeve you know. Sixth, (and this may be a surprise) we have not been writing the O.K. Smith pages. Mark Reinsberg has. They have been so well received that we are asking him to continue them indefinitely. Seventh, we accept "Dream Den", and it will most likely appear in our Third Anniversary Issue, coming up at the end of the year. Thank you all so much.

Ackerman: "Just a note from one of the usually silent 75%. I yama contented customer. I say Bob, let heem publish LeZ with policy like he damn please. LeZ been plenty popular always with me. The new feature-- Lez-Ettes -- I like like grape suzettes. And I hope OK Smith's Asserted Services becomes a permanent back-page advertisement. In the Aug ash, "Romance of the Elements" reacted on my system like a whiff of nitrous oxide. It sure was chemical!

WE DENY IT DEPT: There is no truth to the rumor that (because of the defense movement) the Government has notified overall manufacturers henceforth they must use molyb-denum in making the garments.

Stick around and watch for our 3rd Anniversary. We have something hot!

Saving...
