4 Hi-Lites of LOCAL LEAG LIFE, told by Tobojo. From secretarial notes & other sources... At the first Sept meeting all those present noticed a newcomer seated at one the tables. He was an elderly man, rather tall & stocky, with black-rimmed glasses. We were all curious to know who he was, for a fan of the apparent age 45-55 is a thing quite rare, n'est-çe pas? The while, our go-getter Forry U-know-who circulated in our circle with a lite of knowledge in his eyes. When the meeting was calld to order, & after the regular business was attended to, our Secretary got up & introduced---"Posi & Nega"'s Poppa! Jos Wm Skidmore! He talkt on the topic: "Color Chemistry"... Our 2d Sept meeting was attended by 13. As if in vibration with that mystic number, our eminent illustrator member Mooney (of Weird Tales) had brot macabre masks, fashiond by himself, one a frightening face of FRANKENSTEIN... Morojo extended invitation to all to come to her Apt. for special 5th Thurs Sept meeting. Copys of the first IMAGINATION! were distributed to the dozen guests. Pleasure was taken to welcome Paul Freehafer, fan from Idaho. Delicious donuts, & coffee & rootbeer, were servd. Feature stunt of the evening was the consumption of 7 donuts by YE ED YERKE, much to his own amazement & to that of all present. It just seems that he kept eating & talking & it all was so interesting that--- Several glasses of rootbeer were added to this extraordinary feat... 19 at our Club, 6 Oct. 2d IMAGINATION! plans formulated. Meeting of the mems of Oversea Chapt 1, SCIENCE-FICTION ASSN (of England) held; communications from HQs read by Hodgkins... On Columbus Day nite, 7 localites are known to have enjoyd a special revival program of 4 foren phantasy films at the Filmarte Theater in H'wood., Unprecedentd program included "Paris Qui Doit" ("Paris Asleep") & a short surrealism subject Francaise. The Imagi-natives who went were: M'sieu Forêt (a little pun at Esperanpest Ackerman's expense: "Forêt" is Française for "a forest!"!), Fritz Lieber Jr, Henry Kuttner, Harold Clark, "Anny" Anshutz, Pogo, & Morojo... "HanKuttner", just returned from visit to wellknown Northern Califantasyarnists (EHoffmann Price, CASmith), promises report at our next meeting,which info in turn'll be pub't in following number... FANTASCIENCE FLASHES! by Ev. Reware. B o r n! To our Hon Mem author BOB OLSEN, 13 Sept, bouncing 9 lb 2 oz boy--Kenneth! TWS Mgr, Mr Margulies, issues first of Bulletins given gratis to the more prominent fanmags.
