PAGE EIGHT THE SYDNEY FUTURIAN CORRESPONDENCE-- continued. two of our present members are of French Canadian origin although speaking English now, and 1st Vice President Cecil de Bretigny is of French origin -- about 300 years ago. "One of our newer members, David Jenkins, is from Australia. What, another one! Seems to me at times that more people leave Australia than stay here.-- G.S. He still has what we call quite an accent; though that is purely a matter of opinion. From Associate Member 23, Moe Diner, comes the welcome news of the formation of a national fan body in Canada -- the Canadian Science Fiction Association. "The set-up is that the Association is run by one of the three organised clubs.(Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal) To start with, neither Toronto nor we in Montreal could take the job,so -- Hamilton, smallest and least experienced of the three, is doing it. "Probably to start with, this year at least, there will be little of consequence done, but we hope to do a few worthwhile things next year." In which you have our support and congratulations. "We in Montreal are virtually prostrated by the fact that it is exam. time from now till May at the University (affecting most of our members and almost all of our executives) and also by the fact that we are trying to get out the first issue of CENSORED. We are not exactly hyperactive, right now." We can sympathise with you there, Moe -- a number of our members are University students, whose stfnal activities are periodically so interrupted. Arthur Haddon writes from Tokyo: "...As I predicted, and anticipated, comments were mostly contra, in regards my article. I hope the fact wasn't overlooked that I said my views as expressed did not detract from my enthusiasm. Then again, the article was originally written some weeks before I came to Japan.
