6 FANFARE THE GREAT GODDESS LN-OR By Clark Ashton Ackyman It was the Sexcentenary Celebration of Independence Day in Girl-and. For a full twenty-four hours all men were muzzled as retroactive retribution for the silence in which they as dominators of the earth had kept womankind some 600 years ago--a time bfore which, the Federation of Femininia had proof, male had not permitted female even to speak ! It had been the almost legendary "Ln-Or" who had broken the inhuman bondage imposed on women at birth & defyed man's stern mandate that the female shoud ever silent be. What those historic words were none now nue; but preserved on durafilm was a foto made cica 2000 of a brittle yellow scrap of paper--torn from a newspaper* of the 1940s. Today emancipated women the wide world round woud view that sacred reproduction via televisor, when a closeup would be broadcast from the Shrine. *** Now the recital of Nozama approacht its climax--the presentation of the Proof. "& one woman at last had the great courage to test her tongue!" she cryd, "LN-OR! The brave Ln-Or, divine dawter of RoseVelt. Ladys, think of it She was the first woman who ever dared use voice! We noe that, gentlewomen. Men were so astounded they recorded it in their 'press'. Here we have the proof!" & the projector pann-up to the sacred piece of film, broadcasting an enlargement of the epic announcement. Millions of eyes--all the wise women of the world-- read: FIRST LADY TO SPEAK... * a daily dispenser of news printed on pulp in the Dark Ages bfor Technocracy LOOKING OVER THE FANMAGS by Art Widner, Jr. SPACEWAYS--As this goes to press I haven't completed it, but it looks good. Cover by Tom Wright, editor of 'The Comet' isn't too bad except that something is haywire with the man's eyes. Perhaps he is bug-eyed from trying to keep up with all the fan and pro magazines and get some sleep at the same time... The poetry is better than last issue, being of really promag quality, as it is by fans who are the acknowledged leaders in the rhyming business--Singleton, Youd, Vogenitz, and Warner. The Star-Treader continues the best all-around fan column being published, with three interesting pages...Tucker continues the second part of his witty AUTHOR'S AID, and Croutch reports some interesting news on the author John Russell Fearn... SaM counter-replies to John W. Campbell, and Walt Sulican gives a detailed account of his visit to the LASFL which is worth reading...A supposedly humorous feature is TALE OF THE TOR-TLETWITCH which Warner says will grow on the reader. Maybe I'm sterile ground, but I've failed notice any sign of sprouts on me. However it was good for a couple of snickers, so I reckon it served its purpose. Wally Marconette's (SCIENTI-SNAPS ed.) interior illustrations were well done, what there was of them....SPACEWAYS may be obtained from Harry Warner JR., 303 Bryan Place, Hagerstown Maryland.
