who can be counted upon to get things done in a efficient and business like manner. I would be very pleased to work with him in the coming year. - Rick Sneary Hear ye! Hear ye! Let it be known to all NFFF members that I am seeking office. I want to be elected to the Board of Directors. I am running on the "Sneary Ticket". I have a few ideas...ideas which I think will make the NFFF a really active fan club and not just a list of names.... Which brings us to another reason why I decided to stick my skinny neck into "fan politics". I may live to rue the day but I'm a curious cuss. There is something I want to find out. That something is: What strange lethargy attacks a fan as soon as he becomes an officer in the NFFF???? Snear has managed to ward off this..this,,this Thing that puts NFFF officers into a do-less trance. So I'm running with him..just to see what will happen. And while I'm vigilently guarding this lethargy I will be making suggestions, answer official NFFF correspondence regulary, do every thing I can to keep activities rolling. One of the ideas I will plug to the limit is a Census of fandom.Not a poll, mind you. A Census, with your cooperation, can result in the most up-to-date, most complete Fan Directory ever published... as well as Report of the general information gleaned from the answers to the Census questions. Questions that will be so worded as to be simple and easy to answer with no strain on the brain. If we--Sneary and I--are elected watch for more talk and action on this proposed project. I'll say no more. If I'm elected, if Rick is re-elected and if the other three Directors--whoever they may be--are as good a man as the sage of South Gate then the NFFF should not fold in '49 but transform itself into a really active club for stfantasy hobbyists. Thank you for your attention (kind or otherwise) to this statement of my platform. - Len J. Moffatt I hereby announce my candidacy for the Board of Directors of the NFFF. I have no revolutionary ideas to put into effect if elected. I'm fairly well satisfied with NFFF progress during the past year .HOWEVER, I believe that more effort and energy on the part of your Directorate would make the NFFF even bigger, even better. This is my first hat-toss into the national ring. I've been an active fanzine publisher and in state and local fanclub work, I've demonstrated my ability to get things done. When no one else wanted the job, I took over the N3F Manuscript Bureau and turned it into an active part of the Federation's program. I keep plugging away at the job until it's thru, which in the long run gets more done than starting with a great burst of enthusiam and then losing interest halfway along. There are worthwhile projects for the NFFF to tackle in 1949. It's up to you, the members, to suggest them. If elected, I promise to do all in my power to (6)
