LEZ LETTERZ Comment in double brackets (( thus )) are the Editor's CANADA'S TOP FAN (in part): "Thank you for those appreciative words. Strange they must come at this time, for soon the May number of Light will be on it's way to you -- the last for some time, as I have been forced, due to lack of time, to suspend it indefinitely. There may be a rare copy out now and then but if there is it will be of a vastly different nature than the monthly one. Lets Swap takes its place just to keep alive the swapping tradition with which I have been connected for a long long time -- before, even, I ever got into anything approaching fandom." -Les Croutch, Box 121, Parry Sound, Ontario. ((The Croutch fanzine, Light, has seen more than 120 issues, was a 5c monthly fanzine. Thus vanishes what we suspect is Canada's last fmz)) FROM OUR OWN NEW YORK CORRESPONDENT: "Your commentary upon the New Yorker article was quite amusing, but not as funny as the article itself. I treasure it. This will probably make you faint, but the DAW, JBM and I found the NY account of the Nycon entirely and eminently satisfactory. Now the FSNY's a legend -- and who cares if a few details are all wet. Beside which, it's much more exciting to be given the heav-o from a convention than simply to be excluded therefrom. Sooo... posterity will know that the Futurians were tossed out on their ears, no doubt for fiery vermillion [sic] activities in the Nycon. Yippee! Remember the Beer Hall Putsch?" ((Yeah, but Doc, did you "quietly straggle off down 59th street toward the subway, presumably to return to your home and the lastest issues" of Thrilling Wonders magazine? --And Doc, it would give you a merry buzz if you knew the number of fans who accuse you (and/or DAW) of writing that article! But here's the remainder of your letter:)) "Walter Kubilius working, not for Standard, but for the nEw York Sun. Marie Antoinette Park, shortly to be Mrs R.W. Lowndes, edits the love magazines at ColumbiaPublications. Science Fiction Stories suspended for the duartion, final issue dated July 1943. ((and now on sale)) J.B. Michel is now an editorial assistant on Ace Magazines' Flying Aces. Engagement of Don Wollheim and Elsie Balter recently announced in the New York Times. Miss Balter chauffered the famous and fateful Futurian Expedition to the Chicon in 1940. ((see page 8, October 1940 Spaceways.)) They are to be wed June 26th and will live in Forest Hills after a honeymoon in Canada. "Damon Knight contributes poems to various of Popular's love magazines. He also does the "Nosedive Ginsberg" and "Sideslip Jones" columns in Popular's air magazines
