ssues are on a par with those in the first, the
success of the magazine is assured.

By the way, your editorial explanation of Astounding Stories was a
gem. So many of us take our marvelous modern inventions for granted
that we never consider how miraculous they would seem to our
forebears. As you say, the only real difference between the
Astounding and the Commonplace is Time. A magazine such as
Astounding Stories enables us to anticipate the wonders of
To-morrow. Through its pages we can peer into the vistas of the
future and behold the world that is to be. Truly, you have given us
a rare treat--Allen Glasser, 931 Forest Ave., New York, N. Y.

_The Science Correspondence Club Broadcasts_

Dear Editor:

The other day I came upon Astounding Stories on our local
newsstand. I immediately procured a copy because Science Fiction
is my favorite pastime, so to speak. I was very much overjoyed that
another good Science Fiction magazine should come out, and a
Clayton Magazine too, which enhances its splendid value still
further. I have read various members of the Clayton family and I
found each of them entertaining.

After finishing the first issue, I decided to write in and express
my feelings. The stories were all good with the exception of "The
Stolen Mind." Just keep printing stories by Cape, Meek, Ray
Cummings, Murray Leinster, C. V. Tench, Harl Vincent and R. F.
Starzl and I can predict now that your new venture will be a huge
success.

The main reason of this letter is to ask your help in putting over
Science Fiction Week. This will take place in the early part of
February, the week of the 5th or after. We want your co-operation
in making this a big success. You can help by running the attached
article upon the Science Correspondence Club in your "Readers'
Corner." It will be a big aid.

I am sure, because you are the Editor of Astounding Stories, that
you will be pleased to help us in this venture. Science Fiction is
our common meeting ground and our common ideal.

I hope to have a Big Science Fiction Week with your help.--Conrad
H. Ruppert, 113 North Superior Street, Angola, Indiana.

To the Readers of Astounding Stories:

At the present there exists in the United States an organization

Fiction, the Science Correspondence Club. I am writing this to
