furnish the paper "free of charge", and thanks to many who have accepted, and many more say they will.The offer is STILL open, and what about you other members having a zine in the Album. It's not just for me - but for NFFF - as profits from the sales go to NFFF. I kept all my promises of last year, and will do the same this year -if- elected. - Ray C. Higgs This letter will announce ny candidacy for re-election to the Directorate of NFFF. Without attempting to explain, justify, apologize for, condone or excuse the apparent lack of action in the past year, I feel that more should have been done than has been. No one official, nor all of us, is entirely at fault. We have tried, most of the time against almost hopeless inertia, to get something done. Invariably through lack of funds or some other equally harrowing contingency, we were unable to accomplish much of anything. My policy, if elecyed again, is much the same as before. This time, under the spur of previous frustrations, I hope that more can and will be accomplished: First, in the completion of long-delayed projects, most of which were left over from the previous administrations. Second, to further, so far as in my power, the inauguration of new projects, such as the fan census proposed by Rick Sneary and Len Moffatt, the directory of top fans (if somebody can be found reckless enough to decide who are the top fans), and to support enthusiastically any further publishing projects for which funds can be raised (short of gun and mask methods): Third, by any means possible, to increase the prestige of NFFF to such an extent that any and all fans (not just the new and innocent can be lured into membership, and can be proud of the standing of their organization. This sounds as noble and possibly unconvincing as any other batch of campaign promises. Frankly, if anything can be done at all, it will be uphill work. If anyone has a spare bomb handy, it could be used to blast all of this year's officials (myself included) out of our obvious stupor. All I can say is that we'll try. -Stanley Mullen I wish to announce my candidacy for office of the Directorate in thevcoming election. If elected as an officer, I will perform my duties to the best of my ability, supporting every worthwhile project, taking part in all official business, backing NFFF to the fullest extent - in fact, do what every official should do if he were elected. Thus I will appreciate your vote this election. - Sam McCoy BOOKCOM REPORT Production of our first book, David H. Keller's fine "off-trial" novel THE SIGN OF THE BURNING HART, has been repeatedly delayed by unforeseen difficulties. The most recent of these was the bankruptcy of our original printers, which caused suspension of the project while new printers were found. Now, however, we're "over the hump". A new printer has been engaged, and the book is now in production. It is being lithoprinted (8)
