What a motley crew! What nefarious jobs, we wonder, do those people who neglected to return the cards hold? Our personal bit of data to the above list is as follows: age, 27; occupation, movie projectionist.

Many have wondered why we took the poll; searched fro some con game behind it. So we shall bare all! The above list is but one of the many items to be dovetailed into The Great Plan of 1946. And what is this great plan? Ah! In 1946 LeZ intends to launch the first space ship!

Within a few days after this issue appears, the draftsman, the service order planner, the laboratory technician, the machinist, the construction worker, the welder, the assembler, and the carpenter will be sought out by the two messengers and told to report to Bloomington. There they will be given orders and rough plans for the space ship, and in an empty lot, set about constructing it. They will be finished by 1946.

All fandom will be invited to make the journey, for a nominal fee. The cashier-bookeeper will have charge of collecting same, and the accountant will double-check to make sure Tucker isn't gypped. The banker will act as purser and store all marbles and penknives the passengers fear to leave in their cabins. There will be, in the ship, small offices for the cobbler, the dentist and the photographer for those passengers who wish to avail themselves of their services. Students wishing to observe extra-terrestrial flora and fauna will be granted reduced fares. (over)
