HELL FIRE JOHN REITROF "I guess that our minds don't operate on the same tradk." That's what I wrote to Welt Daugherty. That's the year's masterpiece of understatement in fandom. What I wrote about him back in 1941, within the pages of Fantasite at the initial start of this colym I still maintain to be ranking bits of understatement for that year. And what I say here may someday be rated as minor works of genius in that gramatical underworld in fandom. What I say now hold to he truths, evident facts. The ax is buried. It's not in anyone's neck, it's buries in the dirt that passed between Daugherty and I. Fandom knows it, I certainly know it, but does Walt? "The next thing you do, "writes Walt in a recent letter explaining my many faults, "is send me an article that only an assinine ((sic - spelling)) fool would print in his own magazine." I could choose plenty of other things to upload what I'm now putting across, I believe, but this statement will do. If Daugherty gets around to publishing another issue of Fandomania for the Fapa, please read my article there in, "Why I Hate Walt Daugherty". It's a beutiful bit of satirical splendor, using myself as the goat. The irnoy of it all, however, is that Walt bit the tin to become indignant over what he mistakenly apprehended as seriousness. Ah, the ax is buried, and if you, dear fans, can laugh at and with the article as I expect, then you will understand why Walt does not know the feud to be at an end; that you will understand when you realize fully that he took the satire with a Puritan's turn - or twist - but that is another story to tell another time, the story of a Puritan's Twist. Hell, Walt, I have to pick a new feud every three months to keep this colyum's kettle boiling over. You spoiled the first feud, you wouldn't fight back and I had to start a new attack the very next installment. That makes work out my verbal by-play. You'd think fans hated each other when they beef around a bit. ayway, our beef is over, and well it is, for meat is scarce these days. A UNITED PRESS FOR A UNITED FANDOM Please read Joe Fortier's special plan in the next issue of Nova - read it with care. Last issue a call went out for all femme fans to come to the rescue of fandom by forming a news service. Joe has gone one better by creating a perfectly feasible plan for a news syndicate to help pave the way toward a new United Fandom, another step forward in the dream of the NFFF. It'll gain favor, Joe thinks. You'll more than like it, for instance. I think you'll love it. Without that item to follow in Nova's next issue, what I'm going to illuminate here would prove ridiculous. With the item I believe that it will prove nothing short of sensational. No, let's say inspirational for a change, for that's what it should be. Imagine it, picture
