From the Dual Controls SOUTHERN STAR Page 2 on which we would like very much to have your opinion. The demand for the space shit in the STAR's artwork has led us to begin a trilogy in our next issue, the SOUTHERN STAR trilogy. Each issue an interior picture of a space ship in action will be presented. Two of those pics will be lithographed by the Los Angeles Mimicrayon process; the third will be in five colors. Each picture will be on one side of the page, on 28 pound bond paper, suitable for framing. The trilogy will be done by Harry Jenkins, and having seen them all, we vouch whole hearted for the excellence of the drawings. Watch for the first in the series in our next issue. Like the five colors this time? They'll be a regular part of the mag from now on. If, by the way, you run into any bad mimeoing this issue, blame it on the $45 mimeo the Camp bought, wasted three reams of paper and two cans of ink in, and did some very bad mimeoing on before we were forced to accept the fact that it wouldn't run, and went back to our lovely little Sears-Roebuck model. The second group trip fizzled out again with a dismal hissing sound, on the Denvention trip. Transportation trouble. Next year we'll declare solemnly that there will not be a Southern group trip and see if we can get to Los Angeles for the next Convention then. Sorta sneak up on it, you know. And of course we're putting in our bid for the next Jenkins and Gilbert will, after the downfall of civilization, be standing in the ruins, trying with pathetic grimness to print "Dixiecon" stickers with the remains of a dime store printing set, for the benefit of the one other person left alive. In the meantime, on to California and Los Angeles in 1942! In two more weeks Jenkins and The Great Gilbert will buy, borrow or hitch a ride to Washington, run up to Hagerstown to see Warner, after leering at Speer and Rothman, then come on down to Esmont to pester Russell Chauvenet. During this trip details of the DFF will be settled. The election results and other details will then be mailed out to all members. Harry Jenkins will write up the trip in the next TELECASTER department (crowded out this time; back next issue). Read the gory results of the trip then that is, if you can stomach the Necronomicon. We want to welcome heartily new DFF members, W.H. Houston, Theron Raines, and particularly Dan McPhail and Robert Moore Williams. Dan, will be remembered by every veteran fan as one of the leading lights in the old OSA (which may soon be combined with the DFF), and Williams as the author of such modern classics as "The City In The Far Off Sky", hope very much to have one of his very fine little stories for the STAR one of those heah days. Dan has also semi-promised an article on the OSA that we're looking forward to seeing. In addition to which, we have recently, very recently, received the very, very welcome news that a fan you all know and like is moving to Louisiana, D.B. Thompson. Don promises to join the DFF as soon as he has an opportunity. Next issue we are proud to present a very long article on the Denvention by Milton A. Rothman. This will probably be illustrated with photos taken at the Convention by Milty. It will be an item you cannot afford to miss, so if your subscription expires this time, better renew it in a hurry. Art Sehnert's "And this is the tale of Atzor-" will appear in this number, too. This article is one of the most unusual we have ever seen. There will be an excellent short story by Harry Jenkins the beginning of the SOUTHERN STAR Trilogy, and we hope to obtain ano (concluded on page 33)
