Months and  months ago (if my records are correct) I subscribed for three issues of a magazine called Cosmic Tales, the coin being sent to one Richard Crain. For that two bits I received a single  issue of one of the poorest and most carelessly prepared fan magazines it had been my misfortune to read. After that ---nothing. Not even a card from Editor Crain explaining or apologizing for the non-
appearance of his magazine --- Months and months ago (if my records are correct) I
renewed my subscription to a magazine which was once called New Fandom, the check
being sent to one Sam Moskowitz. For that buck I  received absolutely nothing.
Not even a card from Editor Moskowitz explaining or apologizing for the non-appearance of his magazine---- A recent  issue of lingers' weekly, "Fantasy-Fiction Field
had a little item which proved  interesting, to say the least.    To wit---- "New Fandom will combine with Cosmic Tales---"     Based on previous experience I suspect that during the next few months I will receive a double dose of nothing---I'm
seriously thinking of turning  in both of these guys to the Postal Authorities or somethin'. Better let me have some action pretty soon, boys.    I'm getting damn tired of being on so many sucker lists.
