INTRODUCTORY: Yes, I have decided that this shall be, more or less, the for-mat of my FAPA enclosures henceforth--or until I decide to change my mind. I do not intend that it shall be the correct form that a magazine should have. I do not strive for mechanical perfection. I like to think of it more as an Open Letter to my many friends thru-out Fandom. I strive for only one thing -- to make it as interest-ing as I may. If I succeed in that, I shall be happy. As you know Ol' Man Evans loves evabody -- and wants evabody in turn to love him or it that asking too much. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ANNOUNCEMENT OF GREAT INTEREST TO PRACTICALLY NOBODY BUT ME: Old Julius Caesar said that "omnia Gallia est in partes tres divisa", or words to that effect. But if he had known Ol' Man Evans he would have left out the other two parts. All of which is by way of a prelude to the announcement that I am presenting myself to the United Fans as a candidate for the office of President of the NFFF. But let me hasten to add that, as much gall as I have, this was not originally my idea. It was suggested to me. In all honesty I can say that I had never even thought of such a thing. But I talked it over with a number of fans, and they convinced me that it was not a ridiculous idea, but had some worth. I really believe I can be of some value to Fandom in the position, and so am going to go ahead & make the run. If any of you can see your way clear to give me your votes and influence, it will really be greatly appreciated. I can assure you that I will give the position, if elected, all of my best energies and abilities. Ladies and Gentlemen -- I thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ QUESTIONS THAT HAVE ALWAYS PUZZLED ME: Would the baby of a Slan & a Slan-ette wear five-cornered pants?
