THE TIME HAS COME, THE WALRUS SAID..... by Milton A. Rothman The postman rang twice and deposited within my portal an item which is worth describing. It is the Scientific Forum, a printed journal of 32 pages for which Franklin Llewis of Los Angeles charges 50 cents. It can be distinguished from a science fiction fan magazine mainly by the fact that it costs fifty cents. No sf fan has yet had that much nerve. I shall take advantage of the little note on the copywrite line which says 'Permission is granted to quote brief extracts provided proper credit is given." We hereby give proper credit to Mr. Llewis. The purpose of the magazine is "designed to help its readers in solving some of their perplexing personal problems and to aid them in realizing the goals of health, happiness and success rightfully due them. Also, each issue presents facts about the constitution of the material world of special interest to physicists and top-ranking scientists, rather than the average layman, who is respectfully advised to skip them." One might think that this was some sort of amateur science magazine, so that the article bearing the title, "Management of Time" might pique one's curiosity. Alas, it is no more than a group of suggestions on how to order one's day so as to get the most out of life and not to waste any precious moments. We are next taught, in an article entitled, "Breath of Life" that, "when we breathe we take into our bodies the very spirit of life--we inhale a mystic substance that is the origin of life--the life current--the current of the universe--the spirit, indeed, of the current of the universe." Let us pass on hurriedly to "Psychometry--A Puzzle" by Max Freedom Long F.H.F. He explains that psychometry "...is an ability found in certain persons to divine the history of, or events connected with, a material object with which they may come in close contact." This includes a section on crystal gazing procedures. [[illustration text]] HI TEST 1 G SUPER LIFE FORCE CONTAINS 02 H5 OH NOT TO BE USED EXTERNALLY [[end illustration text]] (23)
