Number Four . . . . March, 1944 . . . . F A P A
Published by FANDOM HOUSE, Curfew Pubs Division
Editor: Larry Shaw . . . Associate: Len Marlow
1301 State Street, Schenectady 4, New York

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a new BANSHEE, which will hereafter be my chief FAPA mag. Material in the future issues will all be by "outsiders," with nothing by Shaw except brief (but very) editorials. Contributions of a type ordinarily seen in subscription mags are wanted from everyone. I have quite a bit of material of that nature left from the defunct LEP and will use it as rapidly as possible. Another type of material is wanted from certain ones of you: Those who do not have a fanpub, those who choose to devote their pub to one definite subject all the time, and anyone who thinks he can fit into the general scheme. Material referred to: columns--regular, irregular, and one-shot--and letters of comment. In short, a general FAPA Forum, such as Gilbert began in SOUND OFF! The main subject of these items shold be Fapa, but others are not excluded. Catch on? Okay, shoot!
That's Len's mistake on the cover. This is really Number Four, of course. . . .
