5A "Iodine my duty as I see it," Ben answered modestly, "but I must leave now as Iodate with Ethyl." As Long Ben approached the home of the Butyl school-teacher, she ran from the house and threw herself into his strong arms. "Iodide if anything happened to you!" she sobbed in relief. "Amide have got hurt," Ben admitted, "but Hybride into greater danger than that for you. Ethyl, my own, will you be my Boride?" Ethylene closer to Ben and whispered, "Alum you!" "Osmate tomorrow," pleaded Ben. Ethyl agreed "Fine!" Long Ben cried. "We'll go to Egypt for our honeymoon. I've always longed to see the Pyridines!" SARGEANT SATURN DEPT: "Unendurable ridiculousness indefinitely prolonged!" -Erle Korhak after thumbing thru the Margulies' books. MOOM PITCHERS DEPT: From a motion picture trade paper we are pleased herewish to reprint a review of a short subject made by Vitagraph last year. Titled "Miracle Makers", we quote: Imagine enough power in a pound of salt to keep an airplane aloft, nonstop, for a year. It can be done, this reel says, thru the energy contained in atoms. The subject gives some interesting highlights in the progress of science, winding up with shots of a cyclatron, an atom-busting machine for which high hopes are held. However, there is no pictorial proof of these purported claims and the mounting suspense goes unrewarded. (end of quote.) Dosn't that just break your heart, dear readers. All because some old fogey scientist didn't pour a pound of salt in a plane's gas tank and send it aloft for a year (for benefit of the camera), the movie moguls have doomed atomic power for another century. We weep. THE SCIENCE-FICTION-CONSCIOUS PUBLIC DEPT: The other day on a street corner we happened to overhear the following. Mother and young son, aged about 7 (the son) were standing there awaiting a bus. Proceeding brazenly along the sidewalk came an overlarge roach. Sonny investigated same with proper scientific curiosity. "Mommy," inquired the brat, "what would happen if that bug got as big as me?" Answer Censored. HIGH COST OF FANNING DEPT: Sun Trails, in its Winter 1941 issue (Vol. 1, #1) brought forth an article accounting the bast sums spent on the prozines each year. It costs, they said, $24.60 per year to buy 'em all. Therefore, after due consideration of that sum (and wondering how many people did spend such), we began to wonder how much a fan would spend on fanzines, if he purchased them all? We were in the dark for a long...long...time. Untill there came the day when we completed the 1941 Fanzine Yearbook. Tongue in cheek, one eye on the prozine figures, we went to work. And we have arrived at the stupendous conclusion that you, Joe Fann, could have purchased every 1941 fanzine for $18.25. That makes a grand total of $42.85 for pro and fan publications. Our figure was arrived at by using the single copy price in every instance except those of foreign origin, where it is customery to send U 7 for 20[cents], or some such figure. Of course, by subscribing to three or so at a time, you save a nickle. But, $18.25 should have completed your collection one hundred percent. Now: who has spent such a sum?????????
