22 PLUTO WHO SAID THAT? Continued from page 20 have planned will be the real McCoy if they can put it over the way they want to. Hope they can get enough support to put it through. By the way how about a little personal dope on the members of the Lit & Sci, Fan Club. My curiosity has been aroused as to how there can be so many fans in one small town when it is all that Evansville can do to turn out one and Indianapolis has none. Of course freak fans like me can turn up once in a while, but for five or six to turn up in one small town is too much for me. And in case you are even remotely interested as to what sort of a heel I am I will set down a few pertinent (?) facts about myself. I am past 18, medium height, and fairly well upholstered. Have been reading the STF magazines since August 1935, that issue of WONDER being my first. I have not missed any issue of Fantastic since that time, altho I didn't start reading Weird until early 1936. I started buying backnumbers in two months, since three magazines didn't satisfy me. I now have a complete set of Wonder monthly, and will have complete sets of Astounding and Amazing in a couple of weeks or so. My first fan mag was Fantasy Magazine, January, 1936. My collection now contains complete sets of that mag as well as Fantasy Fan, and other rare mags. I have 120 odd books and several score excerpts as well as clippings, etc. Altogether my collection fills one end of our attic, the only place in the house available for housing it. My favorite authors are: Williamson and Del Ray; favorite hates are Kummer Jr. and Hack Hamilton, the world saver. Favorite mags are ASTOUNDING, UNKNOWN, FAMOUS FANTASTIC MYSTERIES, WEIRD, and ASTONISHING, with it's companion, SUPER SCIENCE. Worst mags in my opinion are AMAZING and FANTASTIC ADVENTURES. Lately I have been indexing my collection into volumes similar to Tucker's YEARBOOK. It is some job beleive me. So far I have complete three way indexes of all the fantastic mags published in 1933 and since. Once had the ambition to make a card index of every story of fantastic nature ever published. However upon realization that it would take about twenty thousand cards to do it the way I wished, I dropped the idea----and quickly. Before I forget it I had better enclose a quarter for the next three Plutos, if I can dig up the cash. Cash around me has been about as scarce as good stories in AMAZING for the last few months. Know anything about old, forgotten Pirate Treasures in these parts? I just looked at the time and have decided that I'd better bring this to a close before someone brains me for typing all night. This types makes a noise like a wornout model T bouncing down a railroad track at twenty per. ------Sincerely, Mel Schmidt. ********************************************************* From Mountain Home, Idaho Have received and read with much enjoyment that copy of your Club's magazine Pluto which you sent me. And thank you for making it complimentary. With so many fan mags being published, a line simply, must be drawn somewhere. But Pluto's good brand of humor and four color mimeographing places it on my "must" list of fan mags. Of # 2's contents, the articles and cartoons on things astronomicl pleased me the most for one of my hobbies is astronomy with it's study of the heavens. I notice an inquiry about the moons of Jupiter-----the planet Jupiter has 11 moons at least. X and XI (they gave no names as far as I know) were discovered in 1938 and are only about 15 miles in diameter. Yours truly, Emrys Evans.
