the intelligent fan's bible 5¢ a copy LE ZOMBIE every other month from box 260, bloomington, illinois Bob Tucker & E E Evans No. 53 - Concerning a Short Beer - A short beer cost but a nickle, the twentieth part of a dollar.. An insignificant sum in itself, but when piled one on atop the other,...a sizeable pile ... and sum. We know from experience how soothing even a short beer can be, trickling merrily down a parched throat. On the other hand, see any LeZ Letter department for how soothing and appreciated even a short LeZ can be. You guessed it. We're after money. Can't say we didn't warn you --- we've hinted this was coming two or three times before. It all came about because in a burst of generosity (along about the beginning of the war) we started giving Zombie free to soldiers. The practice rapidly grew out of hand. As our subscribers slowly drifted off to the Services, some allowed their credit to lapse and some did not. Regardless of whether or not the subscribers remitted a cent, LeZ followed them. Our trouble now is that fans who never, in their civilian days, bothered to subscribe to or read LeZ, now expect it free of charge. All because we announced, over a year ago, that such would be the case. We see our error. And we herewith retract the offer. The free-list has become too heavy. Instead, we'll put it this way: All fans who in civilian life subscribed, may have it free in Service. Those who did not subscribe before are asked to do so now if they want to continue receiving the fanzine after this issue. We're sorry if you feel put out about it, but we have to do something about it. We ask you to give up but one short beer every two months -- and send the nickle to LeZ. If you are one of those whom we are asking to remit, you'll find a sticker at the bottom of the page. And thank you. A short note in connection with the above: because of the army's "reluctance" to send thrid class mail overseas, LeZ goes to fans over there by first class mail-- six or nine cents per copy. We pay this. Six copies of this issue are going thus. You can see that we make no money at anyone's expense in this glorious racket, Any and all soldiers subscriptions are more than welcome. Elsewhere in this issue (see Dept. of the Interior) we promised to mention a certain fan's name. To wit: Frances Robinson. Read on, and find out why. Still nothing new on our draft status as this is written. However further publication of LeZ is, as usual, subject to termination with-out notice. Let us point with open-mouthed wonder at the size of the War Dept this issue. By leaps and bounds it is growing. Pip pip-- BT
