For the benefit of those fans that would like to belong to a science fiction club, but have not as yet had the opportunity to join, we wish to make an important announcement. Allen Glasser, former editor of The Time Traveller, had formed a club for his readers named "Fantasy Fan's Fraternity." Because of the discontinuance of The Time Traveller, the club became unorganized. We are happy to inform you, however, that Mr. Glasser wishes to re-organize this association with the readers of THE FANTASY FAN as members. There will be no dues in the new club. Every loyal fan should join. For particulars write direct to Mr. Allen Glasser at 1610 University Ave., New York City and we'll wager you will never regret it.

MY FAVORITE SCIENCE FICTION STORY

by Mortimer Weisinger

"The Second Deluge" by Garret P. Serviss has always had a hold on me. I have re-read it so many times that the characters in this tale seem to be real people. When Garret P. Serviss, a world famous scientist, couples his knowledge with vivid imagination, the result is sure to be something decidedly unique, and "The Second Deluge" was a truly amazing tale. The colorful descriptions and gripping action of this exciting narrative make it one that is not soon forgotten.
