 LOCAL LEAGUE LIFE

Nite of Halloween the Paramount theatre found itself besieged with members of the S.F.L. when 4SJ, Morojo, Pogo, Bradbury, Corvais, Rogers, Amory, Eldred and others met there to enjoy special preview of Bob Hope film CAT AND CANARY. Bradbury took along weird mask fashioned by Harryhausen and, in spookiest part of film, scared hell out of innocent blonde sitting 'longside. Her scream was heard over in Pomona. Chandeliers rocked. Bradbury then took off mask and laffed and the girl fainted.

One month ago Bradbury stenciled and printed the editorial to this second issue of FuFa, only to be delayed by various troubles, mostly typewriter and stencil scourges, until now. In the meantime the December Weird had come out and FuFa's artist Bok had a cover on it. We'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Bok on his splendid work and wish him luck.

Yerke, in one of his britest moments, growled, "The little man who wasn't there, certainly didn't take up lots of air, but just think of the air he wouldn't take up if he were twins!

Henry Hasse, now a regular writer for Weird again, according to late reports, has one coming up in a short while. Hopes to have it illustrated by Bok.

Last moment arrival of material from various authors thrust the Technocracy article out of this issue. We suggest that all those interested in Technocracy go to your nearest Section in your city and save us the trouble of converting you. We will, tho, in the Winter Edition, give you a few facts and predictions made by Technocracy.
