HELL * FIRE JOHN REITROF Comes a right idea. You've heard a lot of talk about the Freudurians, and some from the Triumvirate with headquarters in Flushing Flats, about their Brooklyns, dere Joiseys, an' da slums. The bums even write poetry - retchingly titled Pastels and suchstuffery - about what they nostalgically love (and without doubt the tears flow freely into the beer, which flows equally free). They say the joint is grammatically related to a game of craps, but they say it is the nuts at the same time. So you're a little jealous. You've got just such a rotten gang in your own back yard, and you love the bunch just the same. This, at the risk of being condemned for once more forsaking stfables as colyum material, you can tell 'em about it - you quote from your favorite columnist--- NO WHITE-FEATHER RACKETEER As to the actual problem at hand? This colyum doesn't go in for white-feathering and it never will. Y'see, I don't get any fan mail anymore. I can't answer it personally, but if you have something to express about fandom or some certain fan - the Mac in question now, for instance - I'll be willing to extract portions and make interesting byplay for this colyum. Just slip a postcard or letter of comment to Yours Truly in care of the Bulletin (221 Melbourne - Mpls, Minn - ed) and the entire thing will be forwarded to me. Speaking of casual notes, here's one from Windy Thompson, citing an example happening to all of us in these Weary War Daze: "It is astonishing how much of my time is no longer free for fanstuff; a careful check of recent astronomical observations shows conclusively that there has been no serious case of solar trepidation, with consequent shortening of the time between 6 PM and 10:30 PM; but for some reason, there seems to be less time. Maybe golf, pinpong, and an occasional show are responsible." And maybe Hirohito, eh? OF THE DOPE, BY THE DOPE, AND FOR THE FAN "Glad to see that you're back in fandom.....going to do any publishing? Need any material? What?" Now where the hell has this Jerk [illegible] been, anyway? "The following items should be carefully filled in: marital status, dependents, etc, and telephone numbers." Nosey, these board members. Anant this Lab for Youth. Yeh, you've heard. "Who among you is brave --- continued on page 5
