2. THERE WAS A TIME  an editorial

There was a time, before this mailing when we hoped to have twenty full pages in this issue. But, alack and alas, we were only dreaming. We are having to rush through the stenciling and mimeographing of these eight pages.
Material that was crowded out of this issue: an interesting article on aart by tophan, Forrie Ackerman; an offtrail story by Johnny Michel that has been shifted to #2 POLARIS; Raymong Washington's rip-roaring little saga, "The Fan Who Knew Joseph Gilbert", which is, of course, a take-off on Joe's first-published professional story, "The Man Who Knew Roger Stanley"; Raym's column, which we, regretfully, haven't room for; another of Fred W. Fischer's extremely humorous little articles, plus other items of interest. All of these will definitely appear in our next issue.
Koncerning Koenig: the attack is not over; we'll be slamming back every other issue.
Taking a look at the material that we have in this issue; cover by Phil Schumann is the simple type of symbolical cover that we will use on JINX.
If the facts in "Ethos of Amateur Publishing" are correct (and we have no reason whatsoever to doubt them), then -- it would be well to keep an eye on Bill Groveman.
"Symbolism in Fanart" was scheduled for #3 FANART, which, as you know, was tossed down the drain pipe. We thought it good enough to print in JINX.
We consider ourself particularly fortunate to secure "Beacon Light" for this issue. Mind you, this might be the only time that it will appear, but -- we welcome him back with open arms any time he wants to reappear. We can't agree with all of his comments, but there are many which echoed our sentiments exactly. Especially the comment on Gottesman.
Phil Schumann's article is a thought-provoking one, which should set the ball rolling for a little controversial writing in the next mailing. Eh?
"Her Name" by Paul Wynburn is not fantasy; nor is it s-f, but -- in keeping with the new FAPA trend to discuss topics of general interest, we are printing poetry and verse that we particularly like. We liked this one ver' much, not only because we consider it poetry, but -- it echoes our sentiments about a certain someone whose name is none o' your business, thankee.
There was a time when we were certain that JINX would appear in every mailing, but: "them days are gone forever". With the coming of September, we go back to college.
At that time we will concentrate on two things: studying and working on our writing. Then we hope to take up spare evenings with her.
"In the spring, a young man's fancy.."
But on to other subjects -- I'll be writing more pages of verse if this keeps up.
Right now we can't think of what was in the last mailing, but we do remember that we liked: Censored, Angenbite of Inwit, all of the Phantagraphs, En Garde-; we did NOT like Mr. Martin's contribution and would have appreciated it if Russell would have left it out of our envelope.
We might not be in the next mailing, which will make Koenig very very glad. In times to come, we'll try to make as many of the mailings as possible, but we are making no promises.
Until we do come again: Au 'voir.
-- SONG FOR THE AGES
"Love me, or I'll never be happy."
"You will forget --"
"Love me, or I'll never love another."
"Go away, and forget."
"Love me, or I'll kill myself."
"I'm sorry."
"Love me, or I'll go to another woman I know, who is more beautiful than you."
"Ah! stay with me!"
-- Paul Beach Wynburn
[V symbol] We are at war. I won't get melodramatic and jingoistic but -- are you doing your part?

JINX is an amateur publication, issued free to members of the Fantasy Amateur Press Association; quarterly. This is volume one, number three, whole number 3, June, 42.
