Horizons, v. 7, issue 4, whole 27, June 1946

Page 1

No one would have guessed that this publication is Horizons, issued over three months at 505 Bryan Place, Hagerstown, Maryland, by Harry Warner, Jr., for the indoctrination of members of the EAPA. This issue may also go out through the VAPA; I wouldn't know about that yet. This here publication is stenciled on Macbeth, and mimeographed on the Doubledoubletoilandtrouble Mimeograph. In addition, is volume 7, number 4, EAPA number 21, whole number 27, maybe VAPA number 1, and may be considered as dated June, 1946 - I'm still not reconciled to the new-fangled July mailing date!
Memories from Manila
The Voice: Nope, Les, raising the membership limit wouldn't help the treasury. It would work just the other way, unless everyone slackened off his activity. The more members, the more magazines, and the more magazines, the more it costs for postage. The only EAPA expenditure I can think of which doesn't increase as membership increases is the price of the stencils or mastersets used to publish The Fantasy Amateur.  That cellophane-covered stencil you speculate on can be purchased in the United States, but the saving in trouble is hardly worth the big increase in cost. Les makes one nice point in his SPO article: those who are so sure everything is going to end pretty still are making plans for the indefinitely distant future.  Oops, I don't think he does make that point after all, but he at least implies it. Even HGWells isn't letting the copyrights on his books lapse, although there is no earthly reason why he should want royalties if he really believes what he writes. I hope you don't mean "better a belief, regardless of how sloppy and ill-founded it is, than none at all", Les.
