FANFARE 9 BEAT IT--HAMLING from Los Angeles to Boston--who spent five or six days doing their best to make the convention the success it was--before, during, and after the official meetings. But did Hamling participate in these activities? He did not! Hamling spent about four or five hours at the convention--this during the height of the business meeting of the second day; most of this time was spent with Smith, Miske, Brazier, and me. There were a good many well known fans who didn't even see Hamling, let alone meet him. Yet Hamling wasn't missing the convention because he is shy (he isn't):--he didn't like the way it was being run, he didn't have time, he was busy...Busy at what? You may believe his version of the Chicon Booklet thing if you wish to; there are other stories floating about...if they were entirely false, they wouldn't have gotten started. All of this proves nothing about Stardust; and, in consequence, neither do Hamling's famous last words; "I AM A FAN, I AM A FAN..." Beat it, Hamling. * ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **** *** *THE SOUTHERN STAR* *** THE FIRST SOUTHERN FAN MAGAZINE! * * * * COMING SOON! Contents include: FROM THE STAR PORT by the one and only Fred W. Fischer, who incidentally is advisory editor. 'Nuff said. THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL. Are you a "type fifteen" fan? Is your worst enemy? Your best friend? In this column, every issue, will be analyses of the handwriting of all the most prominent fans. Don't miss this unexcelled opportunity to read the ghastly truth about your fan associates. In the first issue; Tucker and Lowndes! THE MUNSEY MASTERPIECES by the country's leading authority on Munsey fiction. A collector's column that is genuinely entertaining and unusual. THE PASSENGER LIST. A biographical department of Southern fans. THE TELECASTOR. Southern fan news. PLUS -- A swap column, Mutant articles of a type never before seen in fanmags, a round robin dept. of new type, and a new artist, whom we predict will be the biggest sensation of 1941--Harry Jenkins. All this in addition to a well balanced, and excellent assortment of articles, verse, fiction, and special departments by Southern fans of known writing ability, besides famous fans like Ramsey, Mc--Queen, Hinote, and Buelow, whom no other fanmag has ever been able to obtain. THE SOUTHERN STAR will be obtainable at one thin dime per copy; three issues for a quarter. Send a subscription now for a truly DIFFERENT fanmag.
