Anent the cover: In case U hadn't heard, most the amateur artists of the imagi-nation were invited by us to enter an "artisticompetition", submitting their conceptions of Mage- "the fan of the future", our pick of the most pleasing pic to constitute cover of this issue. Specifications were: Head & shoulders, only, required, inclosed in a rectangle 6" hi by 4" across. Madge to face left at 3-quarters (i.e., her head 1/2-way between full-front & profile), her eyes regarding the reader. In color; hair red, eyes green. Infectiousmile, air of unconventionality, aura of intelligence, aspect of dauntlessness, tang of tomorrow-- First response came from Walter Earl Marconette, famous for his females. Baltadonis, Dollens, Mooney, Rogers Team et al were contacted. Even Catherine Moore, Wm E Dold Jr Lyes, Elliott!). Nancy Featherstone try her hand, Ray Bradbury's Aunt Nova, & no less than 3 different entrys were dcvd from anonymiss "Miss Tree". (Y, even Weaver Wright "executed" an attempt. But it was not a wow._ But our silkscreen process prospect fell thru, and we've not yet been satisfyd, anyhoo, that we've really found Madge. Not finally content to accept merely the best bet submitted so far, we wait til "the rite fire comes along." The competition is still on. We'll give the winer one dozen reproductions. At such a time as we "locate" they lady of our choice, we plan to publish her picture as a momento & provide it free to all readers of at least 3-issues' standing... Nancy Featherstone recently has taken up residence in LA, joind our chapter. A 5th Thursday falling in Sept, the gang's been invited to the Featherstone flat for extra meeting of the month. Nancy, a competent stencilist, eagerly oferd her services to assist with this Ann Ish but it developt her machine would not function properly for stenciling & she could not come to Morojo's to use hers. Moroko was under the weather. "Anny" Anshutz, an excellent & ever-willing substitute when times get tough, wasnt feeling well either. Pogo, who has stencild before in pinches, no longer sojourning with her cousin Morojo. Instead, Pogo's bro Jogo saying with Morojo's son Vodoso; Jogo a good typist-- in the making. In the end, the major stencil stint devolved on Forry-- who never intended to become so involved in the operations of IMAGINATION! in the first place. Readers who've been with us all the way may know the name IMAGINATION! & slogan were evolved by Forry, oferd Roy Yest for his proposed fanmag. When in July '37 after considerable printing the first, "pyrotechnic" number had to be abandond, & I was anxious for our roster to express itself in some material manner, Forry suggested we carry on with "Th Fanmag of th Future--with a Future!". Eyewitness Acky writes: "Ah, the hectic hectodaze & nites-- yes, they, too, were frights-- at Morojos's old Apt. at Shatto Pl., where Madge was born on a gelatin pad!
