OVERSEAS SECTION PEN PAL I have been reading your periodical for some time now, and I think it’s excellent (both fiction and scientific accounts) and, like the many other readers, I find the covers extremely original and artistically done. I hope you do not mind if I present a few suggestions relating to the articles in your magazine. If possible you should introduce a series of articles about atomic physics in a more or less elementary form (so that it would interest both the layman and scientist). Also more material about astronomy (which is part of the main basis of S.F.) I will be very glad to correspond with anyone who is_ scientifically-minded, a student of preference. R. A. Javitch, 1589 McGregor St., Montreal 25, Quebec, Canada. The series on atomic physics will be starting soon, Mr. Javitch. Thanks for the idea. And what do you mean by “astronomy’’? It’s a big subject you know. ACTIFANS Here in Toronto we have the most active group in Canada, and it is entirely possible to say that we have the most active group in North America. Dean Grennel himself said that we have one of the most prominent clubs in North America. Proof of this is listed on the left-hand margin of this letter- head. You will see there a list of eight different fanmags, being produced in Toronto alone. Fan- dom in the remainder of Canada seems to be more or less static. Les Crouch is still publishing LIGHT for Fapa, as he has been doing for years. Harry Calnek is still publish- ing FIE, and we are now waiting for the third issue of this mag. Dutch (Georgina) Ellis is still supposedly publishing MIMI, but I haven’t seen a second issue, and I haven’t heard from her for months, but that could be because I owe her two letters. Gerald A. Steward, 166 McRoberts Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for taking the trouble to write to us, Gerald. Keep on doing 137 comiclooks.comn
