Tale of the 'Evans, v. 4, issue 1, January, 1946

Page 12

the old pump couldn't possibly stand the take-off acceleration. I'll have to wait for one of the type of ships our writers have described where there is no feeling of movement in 'em....Your descriptions of your journeyings are most, most enjoyable. Wish I were with you. Hope you're home soon, I long to see you again.

WALT's WRAMBLINGS .  .  It was a good party, wasn't it, Walt?  You make a beautiful ballet-dancer, no kidding....Book reviews interesting as always...Poetry funny, as always also.

FAN-DANGO .  .  Glad to see you back, Fran.  I didn't really think you'd quit publishing for PAPA....I'll second your motion to put the membership list up to 75, but I'll balk at the proposals to raise it to 100, as that would be altogether too unweildy....JAZZ DEPT.  Thanks for not calling it "Music Debt".  As you know, I'm strictly long-hair (even if I do wear my hair shorter than anyone else in fandom that HAS any hair.) And don't laugh, because I ahve two albums of Beatrice May -- that gal really sends me!

FANTASY JACKPOT . . a noble effort, containing some good stuff, and some grand pics. Hope it was enough to keep all you boys in good attending, but more of the old-line regular stuff hereafter, pliz.

SUS-PRO .  .  Your challenge to balance one man's hunches against another's that do not come true, wouldn't solve the problem at all, Jack, any more than one man's ability to quicly solve math problems against another's dullness would give a mean-level of mathematical ability in the human race.  I do like your phrase "instantaneous sub-conscious evaluation of all the available data", and maybe you have something there. I'm still groping, but I DO still believe that there is SOMETHING in hunches, but what or how much I don't know....Bacover hilarious.

FA  .  .. OK about Ashley handling the Surplus stock, and thanks are due Al for being willing to undertake the onerous job....I am not in favor of eliminating the official Critics, but think they ought to be made to criticize, not merely list...

MAILING AS A WHOLE  .  .  Excellent, although still burned up that it was so late.  Still the best value for your money in Fandom -- am willing to put the dues up to $2.00 per year, and still think it would be a bargain as well as helping solve the financial problem.

Also, a hearty welcome to new members Marlow, Thomas, Wykora, Sehnert, Baker and Blish.  Shall be looking forward to your initial efforts.

Goom-bye, now!  And a happy New Year of joyful fanning.
