regarding the IFA, after reading the announcement on pages 12 and 13, write to Ted Dikty, Acting Director of the IFA, at 3136 Smith St., Ft. Wayne, Ind. We predict a roseate future for the IFA, if all you Ind. fans will get behind the movement. 

   Paper, paper and more paper; this issue is yet appearing on paper that is not to our liking. But the situation is going to be remedied very soon. (WE HOPE)

   A department that has been lauded to the sky, is the D.P.U.P.C.P.I. which was inaugurated in the last issue. Most of the fans are strong for the Dpupcpi, and have promised pages for it, but our own M. Spivis was forced to expound on his own pot idea for this issue. To parphrase one of our commenters, the dep't. promises to be bang up; so grab your typewriter and bang out an article soon. The more the better. 

   We're not fooling a bit when we say that the "Famous Jokes From Other Planets", is proving popular. This feature was developed for all of you. Shoot in your contrib of a "Famous Joke", and see it in print. 

   Our appeals for material have netted us many fine items. Keep the contributions pouring in - with the advent of many fans into our pages, we are now letting ourselves in for the complications which can ensure from articles containing personal mention of other fans. Our policy in all such articles or stories, are thus: theories, and opinions are those expressed by the authors, and in no way do they constitute the opinion of the staff of PLUTO. Any fan named in an article in our pages, can have a page or pages for repudiation for rebuttal to the article. All articles when personal statements are uttered must not contain utterances that will be constued as defamation of character. PLUTO will nor become involved in a fan fued. PLUTO is the Fan's own magazine - let us make it high class. (CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL YOU KNOW)

   Have you mailed your dime and name for inclusion in the CHICON convention booklet yet? Better mail it to Bob Tucker, Box 260, Bloomington, Ill., today.

   A worthy department beginning this month is "It's Been Proven" a science column, by Rajocz. The column shouls click and hope you enjoy it as we do.

   Two things stand out in recent happenings in the realm of Science-fiction publishing: Best being the appearing of the new Munsey mag, (famous) FANTASTIC NOVELS. Here is an innovation that positively will appeal to the hearts of the entire fantasy reading public. The second thing and positively the worst, is the reducing of the size of the Ziff Davis publication, FANTASTIC ADVENTURES. With the reduction of the size of this mag, and the subsequent discontinuing of the "Paul", back covers. The mag has now nothing left to make it a top-notcher, as its contents are notoriously commonplace. 

   Why not make your motto same as that adopted for the next three, months, by the L.S. & H. Club - AD CHICON CUM BELLS ON.
