Bradbury - editor - - - - -GREETINGS! AT LONG LAST--FUTURIA FANTASIA! - - -The best laid plans of men, it seems, are destined for detours or -permanent and disappointing annihilation upon the road to -accomplishment. It was this way with Futuria Fantasia, planned for -publication last summer. Piles of archaic tomes towered on all sides of -the editorial desk. When the door to the office was opened unexpectedly -a white gusher of manuscripts and relatives spewed out. More than once -Ye Editor was suffocated unto death by the musty volumes that poured in -from all over Los Angeles. And then--someone turned off the financial -faucet--leaving us all soaped up, but with no water! And so, into an -inforced hibernation went FuFa. The manuscripts became intimate -acquaintances with all of the spiders in the family vaults--even the -writers could be seen lounging around in their caskets waiting for -Technocracy and their thirty doubloons every Thursday to come rolling -in. - -But recently, awakening from the profound inactivity of spring fever, -your editor became interested in Technocracy. The more he heard about -it, the more he wanted everyone else to hear. So, turning the revolving -door on his crypt, he reached over and shook T. B. Yerke out of his -stupor and begged him to write an article, The Revolt Of The Scientists, -which appears herein. Not content with this he engaged Ron Reynolds, new -fan author who first appeared in Tucker's D'JOURNAL, to whip up a story -about the Technate and its effect upon the hack writer in the coming -decades. And Ackerman is here! Science Fiction's finest fan and friend -has turned in an interesting yarn that he wrote at the gentle age of -sixteen, some few years past. But best of all--there is nothing humorous -in the issue by the editor himself--which should cause huge, grateful -sighs of relief from Maine to Miske and back! Bradbury just has a poem, -and a serious one at that. - -And so--here it is, for ten cents, out every other decade or so--Futuria -Fantasia--... hypoed into Life mainly because of the crying need for -more staunch Technocrats, mainly because of the New York Convention, -(with which it doesn't deal at all in subject matter ... but does so -whole-heartedly in spirit and thought), and mainly because it's been a -helluva long time since a large size mag came from our LASFL way, where -the natives are all sitting around and dreaming of the New York Canyon -Kiddies and praying, atheistically of course, that in the near future -they may wind up in Manhatten behind the pool-ball-perisphere--and I -don't mean the one numbered _eight_. None of the expectant tripsters -have ever seen New Yawk before and have already chewed their fingernails -down to the shoulder in exstatic anticipation. - -I hope you like this brain-child, spawned from the womb of a year long -inanimation. If you do like it, how about a letter sent to the editorial -offices of F.F., at 1841 South Manhatten Place, Los Angeles, California? -Appoint yourself as A-l mourner and critic and pound away at the mag. It -will be appreciated. And if you have a dime in your pocket that hasn't -had a breath of air in a few days just drop that in, too. This is only -the first issue of FuFa ... if it succeeds there will be more, better -issues coming up. And your co-operation is needed. - -GOOD LUCK TO THE NEW YORK SCIENTI-FAN CONVENTION--!! - -I'LL MEET YOU IN MANHATTEN--! - -Ray D. Bradbury, - -editor - - - - -THE REVOLT OF THE SCIENTISTS - -By Technocrat Bruce Yerke - - -The editor of this magazine has asked me to prepare an article about a -certain subject that has hitherto been totally lacking from the pages of -all the scientifictional magazines, and which, with an article in a -special LASFL publication, burst a bombshell on the science-fictional -field, and at the same moment punched an irreparable hole in the -Wollheim-Michel gas bag. Being recognized as the _science-fiction -Technocrat_, I was asked to do this by Mr. Bradbury, who is himself a -new recruit to OUR ranks. Since many of the readers of this magazine -have all read the article in the first _MIKROS_, I feel that I can take -a few liberties to go ahead. - -When you write an introductory article to a generally new audience on -Technocracy, you have to start from the ground up. You cannot assume -that the readers know a whit about it. This, eventually, becomes boring -to the _teacher_, for he is so exuberant and anxious to take up other -phases of the subject that he soon gets tired of merely telling of the -first stepping stone in a vast subject. - -This article will cause much interrogation. It would be impossible for -me, in this limited space, to give you all of the facts I wish to, but I -do suggest that everyone who is interested should go to the nearest -TECHNOCRACY INC. section (and there are many in every large city) and -receive some of their literature, or write to CONTINENTAL HEADQUARTERS -if you live at some flag stop, and get their pamphlets. - -If you have ever heard of Technocracy, it was probably through some -garbled news item, and thus you, like I myself, no doubt have or had a -very wrong opinion of this organization. It is perfectly legal in all -respects, being incorporated under the laws of New York State. It is -technically an educational organization, and many authorities have to -admit that Tech's twenty week study course is the equivalent of a 4 year -college experience. The fact that its speakers are allowed to talk in -public high schools, and hold meetings in the same place, shows that -even the carefully censured school board is, at least, not opposing it. - -Technocracy is not an organization that wants to overthrow the American -government, but only an org. that will step in when the present Price -System collapses. (At this point it MUST be taken note of that PRICE -SYSTEM is not a different word for the Marxian definition of CAPITALISM. -_Price SYSTEM_ is merely a term designating _any system using a_ -circulating medium of exchange for the distribution of goods and -services.) - -If you go to a Technocracy section, they will show you a chart that will -convince you that this _system_ will collapse before 1945, probably -1942. This chart shows the economic trends of this nation from its birth -to 1939, and also the amount of extraneous energy and human toil -required to produce and maintain this economy. When you leave, you'll be -convinced, don't worry. I have not the time nor space to do that here. -The end of the Price System is inevitable, and when it comes you are not -faced with the choice of taking Technocracy or Socialism, Communism or -any other 'ism'. You are faced with a choice of Tech. or _chaos_, out of -which the majority of us will not emerge--alive. - -This nation is so highly inter-dependant, that the failure of one phase -of its industrial sequence would mean the ultimate collapse of the whole -country. If the electric power of New York was shut off, the city would -burn down in approximately SIX HOURS! This, because of the rate fires -break out. If the transportation system were shut off, all of the food -in the city would be gone in six days, water would be so polluted that -disease 10,000 times worse than the Black Plague would break out. - -I shall not spend time telling you why we are faced with economic -disaster, for thousands of examples can be had at a Technocracy section. -We shall, for the purposes of this article simply assume that the -collapse is near, within a matter of days. - -All of the large business institutes, and Technocracy as well, will know -within 100 days of the time of the ultimate end, when all stocks and -bonds depreciate to zero and the financial structure of this country is -due to fall. - -At this time Technocracy will do, what is termed in colloquial American -slang--"TURN ON THE HEAT!" At the present time Technocracy is not -interested in forming a large organization, formed of emotional -butterflys. It is constructing a functional group; a nucleus of people -who know the subject to a T, and who will be prepared to act in the -forming of a skeleton control until things are reorganized. In the last -five years Technocracy has not used one bit of emotional fly paper, but -has presented its whole plan in plain facts, and in as hard-boiled and -unentertaining a manner as could be done without insulting the -listeners. Nevertheless Tech. is the fastest growing organization in the -nation. (except the relief organization) - -Under Technocracy people will be classified in a set of probably 100 -industrial sequences, according to their work. Each of these is known as -a FUNCTIONAL SEQUENCE. Let us trace the work of one sequence from the -bottom to the top. - -The nation will be divided into regional divisions, determined by -latitude and longitude. In each division there will be the various -offices of whatever sequences are operating in that division. (each -sequence of the 100 different ones will not necessarily appear in every -division, though) Some will only have three or four or even as high as -fifty. In this division we will find, say, a factory, for the production -of steel, and thus there will be a steel sequence in this division. -(This is how it will work in all sequences, essentially.) - -The lowest classification will be the man doing the simplest job. We'll -use as our example one who works a welding torch. All the welding torch -workers in that factory will be under a foreman. He will be elected out -of the torch workers as the one most efficient, working the best, who is -most popular, though the latter factor's not so influencing as it is at -present. - -All the foremen in that area division will elect a divisional head of -foremen of torch welding crews. Out of all the head foremen of torch and -steel dumping crews and the other numerous distinct functions, there -will be elected a division head. The division heads then elect a -national head. The national heads of all the other sequences will form -what will be known as the Continental Control, electing an executive -director, merely a presiding officer, with not even the powers of the -present president. He is answerable to, not answered to. - -All the other basic functions will have essentially the same -organization, and it is anticipated there will 90 to 110 of them. At the -present time 93 have been worked out. The one thing of note is that -there will not be more than FOUR offices between Armando Pinccio of the -garbage truck crew and the head of the national sequence of waste -disposal. - -The thing of most interest to all interested is the method of purchase -or what is referred to as the MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. In the TECH THERE IS -NO MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE, THERE IS ONLY A METHOD OF TECHNOLOGICAL -ACCOUNTING. - -The means whereby you will get a new razor blade or a malted milk is to -be known as DISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES or ENERGY CERTIFICATES. These -certificates, issued to every person on this continent every 30 days, -will be good only for one person and no other. Since they will be able -to purchase as much or, I should say, since they will give the -individual purchasing power of 20,000 dollars per year, each will have -everything he needs. Stop right now and think what this means in the -reduction of crime. These certificates cannot be stolen, and since every -one will have all they can possibly use, there will be no need to steal. - -With the technological development on this continent at present it is -possible to turn out, at peak production, enough for every person to -have a terrific abundance, and to do this, with a little mechanization -done in the period of a month or so, it is only necessary for every able -individual male, twixt ages 25 & 45, to work fours hours a day, 4 days a -week, for 165 days a year--to keep this production turning over. If any -one works more, someone else works less. So draw your own conclusions. - -All things under the TECHNATE will be controlled, numbered by a modified -DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM, as used in libraries now. The energy certificate -will have on its face the sex, age, job, place of birth, address, where -he works, and the worker's number, all recorded by this system. There -are also places for purchases, four, to be exact. When one makes up his -mind to buy something, he goes to the store (an example) and buys a pair -of shoes. By means of a photoelectric machine (already developed) the -salesclerk would punch out numbers and the certificate would come out -bearing, neatly perforated: "34.46...11.E.728.../..H76302../... -Z.97321.../...205...21.05." All this means that the article was a pair -of low shoes, made by the leather sequence, that they were men's shoes, -width E, last number 7, and style 8. Second series of numerals are the -serial numbers of the machine, third is the number of certificate, the -last the date and time. - -At the end of the day the total lever of the machine would be pressed, -and all the numbers, styles, etc. would be separated into totals (like -nickels and dimes in a coin changing machine). The totals would then be -teletyped to the divisional H.Q. of the leather sequence where it would -be registered. This affords a continuous inventory of the whole -continent. The following day, as many shoes as had been sold in the -continent would be manufactured. - -Many things, such as housing, transportation, medical care, recreation, -education, etc. are furnished by Technocracy. One can easily see what a -secure life this affords every citizen, and what a boon it is to -scientific research. - -I said that I wouldn't mention many things that would solve questions in -the reader's minds, but if all questions are sent to the editorial -offices we will contrive to open a forum. - -In closing remember these few things. Technocracy is NOT a political or -revolutionary movement. It is 100% American. It cannot work anywhere but -on the American continent, because only here have we the necessary -technological developements, the necessary trained force of technicians, -and the necessary resources to institute an economy of abundance in -place of an economy of scarcity. Technocracy is the only salvation when -the Price System fails. It is not a political theory, but the next state -of civilization. It is the best form of democracy ever conceived. It -furnishes security, education, protection, and all that goes, with it to -the people of the American continent. It is not in its formative state. -It could be installed on a seventy-two hour call. The only reason why we -don't have it now is because YOU are still duped to believing there is -another way out. - -Take Technocracy, or take----chaos! - - - - -_DON'T GET TECHNATAL_ - -by ron reynolds - - -For several moments Stern had eyed his typewriter ominously, -contemplating whether he should utter the unutterable. Finally: - -"Damn!" he roared. "I can't write any more! Look, look at that!" He tore -the sheet out of the rollers and crumpled it in his fist. "If I'd known -it would be this way," he said, "I wouldn't have voted for it! -Technocracy is ruining everything!" - -Bella Stern, preoccupied with her knitting, glanced up in horror. "What -a temper," she exclaimed. "Can't you keep your voice down?" She fussed -with her work. "There now," she cried, "you made me drop a stitch!" - -"I want to be a writer!" Samuel Stern lamented, turning with grim eyes -to his wife. "And the Technate has spoiled my fun." - -"The way you talk, Samuel," said his wife, "I actually believe you want -to go back to that barbarism prevalent in the DARK THIRTIES!" - -"It sounds like one damned good idea!" he said. "At least I'd have -something decent, or indecent, to write about!" - -"What _can_ you mean?" she asked, tilting her head back and thinking. -"Why can't you write? There are just oodles of things I can think of -that are readable." - -Something like a tear rolled down Samuel's cheek. "No more gangsters, no -more bank robberies, no more holdups, no more good, old-fashioned -burglaries, no more vice gangs!" His voice grew lachrymose as he -proceeded down an infinite line of 'no mores'. "No more sadness," he -almost sobbed. "Everybody's happy, contented. No more strife and hard -work. Oh, for the days when a gangland massacre was headline scoop for -me!" - -"Tush!" sniffed Bella. "Have you been drinking again, Samuel?" - -He hiccoughed gently. - -"I thought so," she said. - -"I had to do something," he declared. "I'm going nuts for want of a -plot." - -Bella Stern laid her knitting aside and walked to the balcony, looked -meditatively down into the yawning canyon of the New York street fifty -stories below. She turned back to Sam with a reminiscent smile. - -"Why not write a love story?" - -"_WHAT!_" Stern shot out of his chair like a hooked eel. - -"Why, yes," she concluded. "A nice love story would be very enjoyable." - -"LOVE!" Stern's voice was thick with sarcasm. "Why, we don't even have -decent love these days. A man can't marry a woman for her money, and -vice-versa. Everyone under Technocracy gets the same amount of credit. -No more Reno, no more alimony, no more breach of promise, or law suits! -Everything is cut and dried. The days of society weddings and coming out -parties are gone--cause everyone is equal. I can't write political -criticisms about graft in the government, about slums and terrible -living conditions, about poor starving mothers and their babies. -Everything is okay--okay--okay--" his voice sobbed off into silence. - -"Which should make you very happy," countered his wife. - -"Which makes me very sick," growled Samuel Stern. "Look, Bell, all my -life I wanted to be a writer. Okay. I'm writing for the pulp magazines -for a coupla years. Right? Okay. Then I'm writing sea stories, -gangsters, political views, first class-bump-offs. I'm happy.... I'm in -my element. Then--bingo!--in comes Technocracy, makes everyone -happy--bump! out goes me! I just can't stand writing the stuff the -people read today. Everything is science and education." He ruffled his -thick black hair with his fingers and glared. - -"You should be joyful that the population is at work doing what they -want to do," Bella beamed. - -Sam continued muttering to himself. "They took all the sex magazines off -the market first thing, all of the gangster, murder and detective -publications. They been educating the children and making model citizens -out of them." - -"Which is as it should be," finished Bella. - -"Do you realize," he blazed, whipping his finger at her, "that for two -years there hasn't been more than a dozen murders in the city? Not one -suicide or gang war--or--" - -"Heavens!" sighed Bella. "Don't be prehistoric, Sam. There hasn't been -anything really criminal for twenty years now. This is 1975 you know." -She came over and patted him gently on the shoulder. "Why don't you -write something science-fictional?" - -"I don't like science," he spat. - -"Then your only alternative is love," she declared firmly. - -He formed the despicable word with his lips, then: "No, I want something -new and different." He got up and strode to the window. In the penthouse -below he saw half a dozen robots moving about speedily, working. His -face lit up suddenly, like that of a tiger spying his prey. "Jumping -Jigwheels!" he cried. "Why didn't I think of it before! Robots! I'll -write a love story about two robots." - -Bella squelched him. "Be sensible," she said. - -"It might happen some day," he argued. "Just think. Love oiled, welded, -built of metal, wired for sound!" He laughed triumphantly, but it was a -low laugh, a strange little sound. Bella expected him to beat his chest -next. "Robots fall in love at first sight," he announced, "and blow an -audio tube!" - -Bella smiled tolerantly. "You're such a child, Sam, I sometimes wonder -why I married you." - -Stern sank down, burning slowly, a crimson flush rising in his face. -Only half a dozen murders in two years, he thought. No more politics, no -more to write about. He had to have a story, just had to have one. He'd -go crazy if something didn't happen soon. His brain was clicking -furiously. A calliope of thought was tooting in his subconscious. He had -to have a story. He turned and looked at his wife, Bella, who stood -watching the air traffic go by the window, bending over the sill, -looking down into the street fifty floors below.... - -... and then he reached slowly and quietly for his atomic gun. - - * * * * * - -AN EXPLANATION: You may have wondered why I placed the Technocrat story -and article in FuFa. Well, it's because I think Technocracy combines all -of the hopes and dreams of science-fiction. We've been dreaming about it -for years--now, in a short time it may become reality. It surely -deserves support from any serious fictioneer. And you can't say this mag -isn't balanced!--first I give you Yorke's article on Tech., then I give -you a satire on the same thing, jabbing at it in a good-humoured way, -and then--when you read Ackerman's article, you'll see almost the -complete annihilation of EARTH. So, whether you are an optimist or a -pessimist about the future of humanity, you'll find either side in FuFa. -(But on the side, I'm all for the Technate, aegh!) - -Ye Editor.... - - * * * * * - - This being the first issue of FuFa I feel fortunate in being able - to offer a piece of scientifiction by the field's most famous fan. - - THE RECORD was written first in 1929, scarcely more than a sketch, - on two pages. Ackerman was thirteen. ED EARL REPP, LA author of THE - RADIUM POOL, said of it: "I found it delighting and exceptionally - interesting for the writing of a boy so young." Ackerman re-wrote - it into a three page story, later, the present product. It has not - been touched since. It is not being retouched now. Allow me to - present THE RECORD as a _record_ of how Forrie wrote, spelled and - punctuated six years ago at the age of sixteen. _ED._ - - - - -THE RECORD - -by FORREST J. ACKERMAN - - -For twenty years--for twenty long, horror filled, war laden years the -Earth had not known peace. - -Hovering over the metropolises of the world came long, lean battle -projectiles, glinting silver in the sunlight or coming like gaunt -mirages of grey out of the midnight sky to blast man's civilization from -its cultural foundations. Man against man, ship against ship--a -ceaseless and useless orgy of slaughter. Men, at their battle stations -in the ships, pressed buttons, releasing radio bombs that blistered -space and lifted whole cities up in shattered pieces and flung them -down, grim ruins, reminders of man's ignorant hatreds and suspicions. - -And gas--thick black clouds of it--billowing over the cities, seeking -every possible egress, pushed forward by colossal Wind machines. But -even when Victory came for the one side, often Nature, in one of her -vengeful moments, would send the black gas flowing back to annihilate -its senders. - -Rays cut the air! Power bombs exploded incessantly! Evaporays robbed the -Earth of its water--shot it up into the atmosphere and made of it a fog -that condensed only after many months. And heat rays made deserts out of -fertile terrain. - -Rays that hypnotized caused even the strong minded to commit suicide or -reveal military secrets. Rays that effected the optical nerves swept -cities and left the population groping and blind, unable to find food. - -It was a war that destroyed almost all of humanity. And why were they -fighting? _For pleasure and amusement!_ - -In the middle of the twenty-second century, every nation had a standard -defense. The weapons of war of each were equal--not in proportion to -size, but actually, since man-power no longer counted high. Pacifism had -done its best, but the World was armed to the hilt. And now--though -illogically--it felt safe--for every nation meant the same as if all had -nothing. - -Another thing--there was no work to be done. Robots did it. And there -seemed nothing left to discover, invent or enjoy. Art was at its -perfection, poetry was mathematically correct and unutterably -beautiful--worked out by the Esthetic machines. Sculptoring had been -given the effect complete, artists hands guided by wonderful pieces of -machinery. Huge museums were crammed with art put out synthetically. - -And thus it was with the many Arts and their creators who grew stagnent -in their perfection. And it was that way with the many sciences -also.... - -Paleontologists had found, and articulated, and catalogued every fossil. -The ancestor of the Eohippus, the little four-toed Dawn Horse, was -discovered; the direct line between man and ape established in skeletal -remains; the seat of _life_ itself definitely proved Holarctica. And -great bio-chemists, skilled in the science of vital processes, had -created synthetic tissues and muscles and flesh, built upon the frames -that had been recovered bodies with skillful modeling ... even supplied -them with blood and given them the spark of LIFE ... so that -Paleobotonists recreated the flora of a prehistoric era. Again the -ponderous amphibious brontosaur pushed through marshes. Fish emerged -upon the land, and the first bird archaeopteryx tried his imperfect -wings for flight. In the regulated climates of long dead ages, fish, -amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals lived again for the edification -of those interested in the very ancient--or who were amused with queer -animals. - -But that was only paleontologically speaking. There were the heavens to -be considered. They had been: the stars and planets weighed and -measured, their composition noted, courses plotted with super-accuracy. -Every feature had been mapped--every climactic condition recorded. Life -had been named and numbered ... then photographed. And these were but -first considerations. Actually, what wasn't known about the Solar System -had not occurred as yet. But that would probably be remedied by a -machine to view the future. - -There was physics, biology, anthropology, zoology, geology, -bacteriology, botany--and 'ologies' and 'otonies' and 'onomies' such as -ran into figures which only machines could calculate. - -A book could indeed have been written of the accomplishments of super -race. But this is of the WAR itself, and how it came about, and how -it all ended. - -Stated simply, in 2150 the point of DIMINISHING UTILITY had been -reached. To the hungry man, the first course of dinner is wonderfully -delicious, the second good, the third satisfying. Through the ages -people have hungered after luxury and leisure--but when he finds his -food, a lot of it, MAN finds suddenly that it no longer appeals to him. -In fact, too much is bound to make him sick and often disagreeable. He -looks around for something else. So did the people of the 22nd Century. -They had all of the pleasurable amusements they wanted, but it was all -so intellectual. Everything was culture. They had surfeited with it. And -suddenly they wanted to forget it. All play and no work made MAN a -discontented citizen. A reaction set in. Man was not completely -civilized as yet----THE WAR! - -Twenty-one years the war raged. And scarcely a million survived. Bit by -bit this million was whittled down by the weapons of destruction to -ragged handfuls of things that once had been cultured. Finally only one -hundred humans remained alive--and they kept fighting blindly, none of -them realizing how close to oblivion they were crowding themselves and -the future of humanity--and they went on killing, killing, killing! - -It is doubtless but what the entire human race would have vanished, -leaving the world to the more competent, though half-ignorant, hands of -the beasts, who fought and killed one another for self-preservation and -for food--not because of madness ... and who did not have books and talk -and have _culture_. The human race would have gone, had it not been for -the record. - -The fighters of WAR'S END, leaving their machines and countries to -congregate for personal combat, were engaging in hand-to-hand attacks in -the ruins of what once had been a tall and powerful city in the -Twentieth Century, but now lay crumbling, its proud buildings falling to -the ground, sticking out iron-rusted skeletons to the sky--and the city -was LOS ANGELES! - -HEDRIK HUNSON was fighting with phosphorized fists--hand inclosed in -chemically treated gloves that burned as they struck the antagonist, -insulated on the interior for the wearer--when suddenly the two of them -were caught by a spreader. The other man died instantly, but Hedrik got -it in the side and was whirled about sickeningly, and survived. - -He was lying painfully on something when he came to, but felt too dizzy -and sick to move. At last, when his head had cleared a bit, he rolled -over into a sitting position and reached out his arms to grasp--a -phonograph! - -Big things came in small packages in the days of 2171, and a portable -phonograph might well be taken for a weapon of some sort--which was -exactly what Hedrik thought! And you can hardly blame him, because no -one in that generation had ever seen one of the things. - -There was a curious story connected with the dying of music, concerning -the days of 2050 when there was a movement to stamp out all symphonies -and songs and things even slightly sentimental. - ---but back to Hedrik! - -Hedrik found the crank that wound the portable, turned it, reasoning -that perhaps it gave power--and then--holding it away from him--he -waited for rays to spurt out or something to explode. Nothing happened! -Hedrik was disappointed. After an agony of perspiration and puzzlement -he finally accidentally placed the needled arm onto the disk. The disk, -he noticed, was black and filled with little undulations. The disk was -like a wheel--so Hedrik thought--it should revolve like one, shouldn't -it? He pushed the starter thoughtfully and was more than surprised when -the disk started spinning. - -From the phonograph came music--music and singing! The lost Art had -returned! The Art banished under compulsion had made a comeback. - -Some man was singing on the record--in a queerly interesting and -familiar tongue, the ancient English. The singer seemed sad, almost -crying. And Hedrik was thrilled as he played it over and over again, -drinking in the new experience like wine on the lips of a connoisseur. -The voice rose, fell, lingered. And Hedrik suddenly didn't feel like -fighting anymore! - -The music floated out over the tumbled ruins, descended to the ears of -the other people. AND THE FIGHTING CEASED! They were transformed. They -came running to crowd about the machine. - -And there in that aged music shop they stood enthralled--music filled -their souls. It was exactly what they had needed and wanted for many -years. And it had been denied them. Music was the balancing force ... -the force that would help them struggle ahead rebuilding the world. And -next time they would be saner ... they knew ... the lesson of luxury had -been learned and learned well. Never again would they leave all of the -work to the machines. Now they would work and sing and play. - -It would be work ... hard work ... for some time to come. But they had -found music again, and that would anchor them to sanity. - -And thus was mankind saved through a record--_SONNY BOY!_ - - * * * * * - -FUTURIA FANTASIA!

Bradbury - editor - - - - -GREETINGS! AT LONG LAST--FUTURIA FANTASIA! - - -The best laid plans of men, it seems, are destined for detours or -permanent and disappointing annihilation upon the road to -accomplishment. It was this way with Futuria Fantasia, planned for -publication last summer. Piles of archaic tomes towered on all sides of -the editorial desk. When the door to the office was opened unexpectedly -a white gusher of manuscripts and relatives spewed out. More than once -Ye Editor was suffocated unto death by the musty volumes that poured in -from all over Los Angeles. And then--someone turned off the financial -faucet--leaving us all soaped up, but with no water! And so, into an -inforced hibernation went FuFa. The manuscripts became intimate -acquaintances with all of the spiders in the family vaults--even the -writers could be seen lounging around in their caskets waiting for -Technocracy and their thirty doubloons every Thursday to come rolling -in. - -But recently, awakening from the profound inactivity of spring fever, -your editor became interested in Technocracy. The more he heard about -it, the more he wanted everyone else to hear. So, turning the revolving -door on his crypt, he reached over and shook T. B. Yerke out of his -stupor and begged him to write an article, The Revolt Of The Scientists, -which appears herein. Not content with this he engaged Ron Reynolds, new -fan author who first appeared in Tucker's D'JOURNAL, to whip up a story -about the Technate and its effect upon the hack writer in the coming -decades. And Ackerman is here! Science Fiction's finest fan and friend -has turned in an interesting yarn that he wrote at the gentle age of -sixteen, some few years past. But best of all--there is nothing humorous -in the issue by the editor himself--which should cause huge, grateful -sighs of relief from Maine to Miske and back! Bradbury just has a poem, -and a serious one at that. - -And so--here it is, for ten cents, out every other decade or so--Futuria -Fantasia--... hypoed into Life mainly because of the crying need for -more staunch Technocrats, mainly because of the New York Convention, -(with which it doesn't deal at all in subject matter ... but does so -whole-heartedly in spirit and thought), and mainly because it's been a -helluva long time since a large size mag came from our LASFL way, where -the natives are all sitting around and dreaming of the New York Canyon -Kiddies and praying, atheistically of course, that in the near future -they may wind up in Manhatten behind the pool-ball-perisphere--and I -don't mean the one numbered _eight_. None of the expectant tripsters -have ever seen New Yawk before and have already chewed their fingernails -down to the shoulder in exstatic anticipation. - -I hope you like this brain-child, spawned from the womb of a year long -inanimation. If you do like it, how about a letter sent to the editorial -offices of F.F., at 1841 South Manhatten Place, Los Angeles, California? -Appoint yourself as A-l mourner and critic and pound away at the mag. It -will be appreciated. And if you have a dime in your pocket that hasn't -had a breath of air in a few days just drop that in, too. This is only -the first issue of FuFa ... if it succeeds there will be more, better -issues coming up. And your co-operation is needed. - -GOOD LUCK TO THE NEW YORK SCIENTI-FAN CONVENTION--!! - -I'LL MEET YOU IN MANHATTEN--! - -Ray D. Bradbury, - -editor - - - - -THE REVOLT OF THE SCIENTISTS - -By Technocrat Bruce Yerke - - -The editor of this magazine has asked me to prepare an article about a -certain subject that has hitherto been totally lacking from the pages of -all the scientifictional magazines, and which, with an article in a -special LASFL publication, burst a bombshell on the science-fictional -field, and at the same moment punched an irreparable hole in the -Wollheim-Michel gas bag. Being recognized as the _science-fiction -Technocrat_, I was asked to do this by Mr. Bradbury, who is himself a -new recruit to OUR ranks. Since many of the readers of this magazine -have all read the article in the first _MIKROS_, I feel that I can take -a few liberties to go ahead. - -When you write an introductory article to a generally new audience on -Technocracy, you have to start from the ground up. You cannot assume -that the readers know a whit about it. This, eventually, becomes boring -to the _teacher_, for he is so exuberant and anxious to take up other -phases of the subject that he soon gets tired of merely telling of the -first stepping stone in a vast subject. - -This article will cause much interrogation. It would be impossible for -me, in this limited space, to give you all of the facts I wish to, but I -do suggest that everyone who is interested should go to the nearest -TECHNOCRACY INC. section (and there are many in every large city) and -receive some of their literature, or write to CONTINENTAL HEADQUARTERS -if you live at some flag stop, and get their pamphlets. - -If you have ever heard of Technocracy, it was probably through some -garbled news item, and thus you, like I myself, no doubt have or had a -very wrong opinion of this organization. It is perfectly legal in all -respects, being incorporated under the laws of New York State. It is -technically an educational organization, and many authorities have to -admit that Tech's twenty week study course is the equivalent of a 4 year -college experience. The fact that its speakers are allowed to talk in -public high schools, and hold meetings in the same place, shows that -even the carefully censured school board is, at least, not opposing it. - -Technocracy is not an organization that wants to overthrow the American -government, but only an org. that will step in when the present Price -System collapses. (At this point it MUST be taken note of that PRICE -SYSTEM is not a different word for the Marxian definition of CAPITALISM. -_Price SYSTEM_ is merely a term designating _any system using a_ -circulating medium of exchange for the distribution of goods and -services.) - -If you go to a Technocracy section, they will show you a chart that will -convince you that this _system_ will collapse before 1945, probably -1942. This chart shows the economic trends of this nation from its birth -to 1939, and also the amount of extraneous energy and human toil -required to produce and maintain this economy. When you leave, you'll be -convinced, don't worry. I have not the time nor space to do that here. -The end of the Price System is inevitable, and when it comes you are not -faced with the choice of taking Technocracy or Socialism, Communism or -any other 'ism'. You are faced with a choice of Tech. or _chaos_, out of -which the majority of us will not emerge--alive. - -This nation is so highly inter-dependant, that the failure of one phase -of its industrial sequence would mean the ultimate collapse of the whole -country. If the electric power of New York was shut off, the city would -burn down in approximately SIX HOURS! This, because of the rate fires -break out. If the transportation system were shut off, all of the food -in the city would be gone in six days, water would be so polluted that -disease 10,000 times worse than the Black Plague would break out. - -I shall not spend time telling you why we are faced with economic -disaster, for thousands of examples can be had at a Technocracy section. -We shall, for the purposes of this article simply assume that the -collapse is near, within a matter of days. - -All of the large business institutes, and Technocracy as well, will know -within 100 days of the time of the ultimate end, when all stocks and -bonds depreciate to zero and the financial structure of this country is -due to fall. - -At this time Technocracy will do, what is termed in colloquial American -slang--"TURN ON THE HEAT!" At the present time Technocracy is not -interested in forming a large organization, formed of emotional -butterflys. It is constructing a functional group; a nucleus of people -who know the subject to a T, and who will be prepared to act in the -forming of a skeleton control until things are reorganized. In the last -five years Technocracy has not used one bit of emotional fly paper, but -has presented its whole plan in plain facts, and in as hard-boiled and -unentertaining a manner as could be done without insulting the -listeners. Nevertheless Tech. is the fastest growing organization in the -nation. (except the relief organization) - -Under Technocracy people will be classified in a set of probably 100 -industrial sequences, according to their work. Each of these is known as -a FUNCTIONAL SEQUENCE. Let us trace the work of one sequence from the -bottom to the top. - -The nation will be divided into regional divisions, determined by -latitude and longitude. In each division there will be the various -offices of whatever sequences are operating in that division. (each -sequence of the 100 different ones will not necessarily appear in every -division, though) Some will only have three or four or even as high as -fifty. In this division we will find, say, a factory, for the production -of steel, and thus there will be a steel sequence in this division. -(This is how it will work in all sequences, essentially.) - -The lowest classification will be the man doing the simplest job. We'll -use as our example one who works a welding torch. All the welding torch -workers in that factory will be under a foreman. He will be elected out -of the torch workers as the one most efficient, working the best, who is -most popular, though the latter factor's not so influencing as it is at -present. - -All the foremen in that area division will elect a divisional head of -foremen of torch welding crews. Out of all the head foremen of torch and -steel dumping crews and the other numerous distinct functions, there -will be elected a division head. The division heads then elect a -national head. The national heads of all the other sequences will form -what will be known as the Continental Control, electing an executive -director, merely a presiding officer, with not even the powers of the -present president. He is answerable to, not answered to. - -All the other basic functions will have essentially the same -organization, and it is anticipated there will 90 to 110 of them. At the -present time 93 have been worked out. The one thing of note is that -there will not be more than FOUR offices between Armando Pinccio of the -garbage truck crew and the head of the national sequence of waste -disposal. - -The thing of most interest to all interested is the method of purchase -or what is referred to as the MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. In the TECH THERE IS -NO MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE, THERE IS ONLY A METHOD OF TECHNOLOGICAL -ACCOUNTING. - -The means whereby you will get a new razor blade or a malted milk is to -be known as DISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES or ENERGY CERTIFICATES. These -certificates, issued to every person on this continent every 30 days, -will be good only for one person and no other. Since they will be able -to purchase as much or, I should say, since they will give the -individual purchasing power of 20,000 dollars per year, each will have -everything he needs. Stop right now and think what this means in the -reduction of crime. These certificates cannot be stolen, and since every -one will have all they can possibly use, there will be no need to steal. - -With the technological development on this continent at present it is -possible to turn out, at peak production, enough for every person to -have a terrific abundance, and to do this, with a little mechanization -done in the period of a month or so, it is only necessary for every able -individual male, twixt ages 25 & 45, to work fours hours a day, 4 days a -week, for 165 days a year--to keep this production turning over. If any -one works more, someone else works less. So draw your own conclusions. - -All things under the TECHNATE will be controlled, numbered by a modified -DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM, as used in libraries now. The energy certificate -will have on its face the sex, age, job, place of birth, address, where -he works, and the worker's number, all recorded by this system. There -are also places for purchases, four, to be exact. When one makes up his -mind to buy something, he goes to the store (an example) and buys a pair -of shoes. By means of a photoelectric machine (already developed) the -salesclerk would punch out numbers and the certificate would come out -bearing, neatly perforated: "34.46...11.E.728.../..H76302../... -Z.97321.../...205...21.05." All this means that the article was a pair -of low shoes, made by the leather sequence, that they were men's shoes, -width E, last number 7, and style 8. Second series of numerals are the -serial numbers of the machine, third is the number of certificate, the -last the date and time. - -At the end of the day the total lever of the machine would be pressed, -and all the numbers, styles, etc. would be separated into totals (like -nickels and dimes in a coin changing machine). The totals would then be -teletyped to the divisional H.Q. of the leather sequence where it would -be registered. This affords a continuous inventory of the whole -continent. The following day, as many shoes as had been sold in the -continent would be manufactured. - -Many things, such as housing, transportation, medical care, recreation, -education, etc. are furnished by Technocracy. One can easily see what a -secure life this affords every citizen, and what a boon it is to -scientific research. - -I said that I wouldn't mention many things that would solve questions in -the reader's minds, but if all questions are sent to the editorial -offices we will contrive to open a forum. - -In closing remember these few things. Technocracy is NOT a political or -revolutionary movement. It is 100% American. It cannot work anywhere but -on the American continent, because only here have we the necessary -technological developements, the necessary trained force of technicians, -and the necessary resources to institute an economy of abundance in -place of an economy of scarcity. Technocracy is the only salvation when -the Price System fails. It is not a political theory, but the next state -of civilization. It is the best form of democracy ever conceived. It -furnishes security, education, protection, and all that goes, with it to -the people of the American continent. It is not in its formative state. -It could be installed on a seventy-two hour call. The only reason why we -don't have it now is because YOU are still duped to believing there is -another way out. - -Take Technocracy, or take----chaos! - - - - -_DON'T GET TECHNATAL_ - -by ron reynolds - - -For several moments Stern had eyed his typewriter ominously, -contemplating whether he should utter the unutterable. Finally: - -"Damn!" he roared. "I can't write any more! Look, look at that!" He tore -the sheet out of the rollers and crumpled it in his fist. "If I'd known -it would be this way," he said, "I wouldn't have voted for it! -Technocracy is ruining everything!" - -Bella Stern, preoccupied with her knitting, glanced up in horror. "What -a temper," she exclaimed. "Can't you keep your voice down?" She fussed -with her work. "There now," she cried, "you made me drop a stitch!" - -"I want to be a writer!" Samuel Stern lamented, turning with grim eyes -to his wife. "And the Technate has spoiled my fun." - -"The way you talk, Samuel," said his wife, "I actually believe you want -to go back to that barbarism prevalent in the DARK THIRTIES!" - -"It sounds like one damned good idea!" he said. "At least I'd have -something decent, or indecent, to write about!" - -"What _can_ you mean?" she asked, tilting her head back and thinking. -"Why can't you write? There are just oodles of things I can think of -that are readable." - -Something like a tear rolled down Samuel's cheek. "No more gangsters, no -more bank robberies, no more holdups, no more good, old-fashioned -burglaries, no more vice gangs!" His voice grew lachrymose as he -proceeded down an infinite line of 'no mores'. "No more sadness," he -almost sobbed. "Everybody's happy, contented. No more strife and hard -work. Oh, for the days when a gangland massacre was headline scoop for -me!" - -"Tush!" sniffed Bella. "Have you been drinking again, Samuel?" - -He hiccoughed gently. - -"I thought so," she said. - -"I had to do something," he declared. "I'm going nuts for want of a -plot." - -Bella Stern laid her knitting aside and walked to the balcony, looked -meditatively down into the yawning canyon of the New York street fifty -stories below. She turned back to Sam with a reminiscent smile. - -"Why not write a love story?" - -"_WHAT!_" Stern shot out of his chair like a hooked eel. - -"Why, yes," she concluded. "A nice love story would be very enjoyable." - -"LOVE!" Stern's voice was thick with sarcasm. "Why, we don't even have -decent love these days. A man can't marry a woman for her money, and -vice-versa. Everyone under Technocracy gets the same amount of credit. -No more Reno, no more alimony, no more breach of promise, or law suits! -Everything is cut and dried. The days of society weddings and coming out -parties are gone--cause everyone is equal. I can't write political -criticisms about graft in the government, about slums and terrible -living conditions, about poor starving mothers and their babies. -Everything is okay--okay--okay--" his voice sobbed off into silence. - -"Which should make you very happy," countered his wife. - -"Which makes me very sick," growled Samuel Stern. "Look, Bell, all my -life I wanted to be a writer. Okay. I'm writing for the pulp magazines -for a coupla years. Right? Okay. Then I'm writing sea stories, -gangsters, political views, first class-bump-offs. I'm happy.... I'm in -my element. Then--bingo!--in comes Technocracy, makes everyone -happy--bump! out goes me! I just can't stand writing the stuff the -people read today. Everything is science and education." He ruffled his -thick black hair with his fingers and glared. - -"You should be joyful that the population is at work doing what they -want to do," Bella beamed. - -Sam continued muttering to himself. "They took all the sex magazines off -the market first thing, all of the gangster, murder and detective -publications. They been educating the children and making model citizens -out of them." - -"Which is as it should be," finished Bella. - -"Do you realize," he blazed, whipping his finger at her, "that for two -years there hasn't been more than a dozen murders in the city? Not one -suicide or gang war--or--" - -"Heavens!" sighed Bella. "Don't be prehistoric, Sam. There hasn't been -anything really criminal for twenty years now. This is 1975 you know." -She came over and patted him gently on the shoulder. "Why don't you -write something science-fictional?" - -"I don't like science," he spat. - -"Then your only alternative is love," she declared firmly. - -He formed the despicable word with his lips, then: "No, I want something -new and different." He got up and strode to the window. In the penthouse -below he saw half a dozen robots moving about speedily, working. His -face lit up suddenly, like that of a tiger spying his prey. "Jumping -Jigwheels!" he cried. "Why didn't I think of it before! Robots! I'll -write a love story about two robots." - -Bella squelched him. "Be sensible," she said. - -"It might happen some day," he argued. "Just think. Love oiled, welded, -built of metal, wired for sound!" He laughed triumphantly, but it was a -low laugh, a strange little sound. Bella expected him to beat his chest -next. "Robots fall in love at first sight," he announced, "and blow an -audio tube!" - -Bella smiled tolerantly. "You're such a child, Sam, I sometimes wonder -why I married you." - -Stern sank down, burning slowly, a crimson flush rising in his face. -Only half a dozen murders in two years, he thought. No more politics, no -more to write about. He had to have a story, just had to have one. He'd -go crazy if something didn't happen soon. His brain was clicking -furiously. A calliope of thought was tooting in his subconscious. He had -to have a story. He turned and looked at his wife, Bella, who stood -watching the air traffic go by the window, bending over the sill, -looking down into the street fifty floors below.... - -... and then he reached slowly and quietly for his atomic gun. - - * * * * * - -AN EXPLANATION: You may have wondered why I placed the Technocrat story -and article in FuFa. Well, it's because I think Technocracy combines all -of the hopes and dreams of science-fiction. We've been dreaming about it -for years--now, in a short time it may become reality. It surely -deserves support from any serious fictioneer. And you can't say this mag -isn't balanced!--first I give you Yorke's article on Tech., then I give -you a satire on the same thing, jabbing at it in a good-humoured way, -and then--when you read Ackerman's article, you'll see almost the -complete annihilation of EARTH. So, whether you are an optimist or a -pessimist about the future of humanity, you'll find either side in FuFa. -(But on the side, I'm all for the Technate, aegh!) - -Ye Editor.... - - * * * * * - - This being the first issue of FuFa I feel fortunate in being able - to offer a piece of scientifiction by the field's most famous fan. - - THE RECORD was written first in 1929, scarcely more than a sketch, - on two pages. Ackerman was thirteen. ED EARL REPP, LA author of THE - RADIUM POOL, said of it: "I found it delighting and exceptionally - interesting for the writing of a boy so young." Ackerman re-wrote - it into a three page story, later, the present product. It has not - been touched since. It is not being retouched now. Allow me to - present THE RECORD as a _record_ of how Forrie wrote, spelled and - punctuated six years ago at the age of sixteen. _ED._ - - - - -THE RECORD - -by FORREST J. ACKERMAN - - -For twenty years--for twenty long, horror filled, war laden years the -Earth had not known peace. - -Hovering over the metropolises of the world came long, lean battle -projectiles, glinting silver in the sunlight or coming like gaunt -mirages of grey out of the midnight sky to blast man's civilization from -its cultural foundations. Man against man, ship against ship--a -ceaseless and useless orgy of slaughter. Men, at their battle stations -in the ships, pressed buttons, releasing radio bombs that blistered -space and lifted whole cities up in shattered pieces and flung them -down, grim ruins, reminders of man's ignorant hatreds and suspicions. - -And gas--thick black clouds of it--billowing over the cities, seeking -every possible egress, pushed forward by colossal Wind machines. But -even when Victory came for the one side, often Nature, in one of her -vengeful moments, would send the black gas flowing back to annihilate -its senders. - -Rays cut the air! Power bombs exploded incessantly! Evaporays robbed the -Earth of its water--shot it up into the atmosphere and made of it a fog -that condensed only after many months. And heat rays made deserts out of -fertile terrain. - -Rays that hypnotized caused even the strong minded to commit suicide or -reveal military secrets. Rays that effected the optical nerves swept -cities and left the population groping and blind, unable to find food. - -It was a war that destroyed almost all of humanity. And why were they -fighting? _For pleasure and amusement!_ - -In the middle of the twenty-second century, every nation had a standard -defense. The weapons of war of each were equal--not in proportion to -size, but actually, since man-power no longer counted high. Pacifism had -done its best, but the World was armed to the hilt. And now--though -illogically--it felt safe--for every nation meant the same as if all had -nothing. - -Another thing--there was no work to be done. Robots did it. And there -seemed nothing left to discover, invent or enjoy. Art was at its -perfection, poetry was mathematically correct and unutterably -beautiful--worked out by the Esthetic machines. Sculptoring had been -given the effect complete, artists hands guided by wonderful pieces of -machinery. Huge museums were crammed with art put out synthetically. - -And thus it was with the many Arts and their creators who grew stagnent -in their perfection. And it was that way with the many sciences -also.... - -Paleontologists had found, and articulated, and catalogued every fossil. -The ancestor of the Eohippus, the little four-toed Dawn Horse, was -discovered; the direct line between man and ape established in skeletal -remains; the seat of _life_ itself definitely proved Holarctica. And -great bio-chemists, skilled in the science of vital processes, had -created synthetic tissues and muscles and flesh, built upon the frames -that had been recovered bodies with skillful modeling ... even supplied -them with blood and given them the spark of LIFE ... so that -Paleobotonists recreated the flora of a prehistoric era. Again the -ponderous amphibious brontosaur pushed through marshes. Fish emerged -upon the land, and the first bird archaeopteryx tried his imperfect -wings for flight. In the regulated climates of long dead ages, fish, -amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals lived again for the edification -of those interested in the very ancient--or who were amused with queer -animals. - -But that was only paleontologically speaking. There were the heavens to -be considered. They had been: the stars and planets weighed and -measured, their composition noted, courses plotted with super-accuracy. -Every feature had been mapped--every climactic condition recorded. Life -had been named and numbered ... then photographed. And these were but -first considerations. Actually, what wasn't known about the Solar System -had not occurred as yet. But that would probably be remedied by a -machine to view the future. - -There was physics, biology, anthropology, zoology, geology, -bacteriology, botany--and 'ologies' and 'otonies' and 'onomies' such as -ran into figures which only machines could calculate. - -A book could indeed have been written of the accomplishments of super -race. But this is of the WAR itself, and how it came about, and how -it all ended. - -Stated simply, in 2150 the point of DIMINISHING UTILITY had been -reached. To the hungry man, the first course of dinner is wonderfully -delicious, the second good, the third satisfying. Through the ages -people have hungered after luxury and leisure--but when he finds his -food, a lot of it, MAN finds suddenly that it no longer appeals to him. -In fact, too much is bound to make him sick and often disagreeable. He -looks around for something else. So did the people of the 22nd Century. -They had all of the pleasurable amusements they wanted, but it was all -so intellectual. Everything was culture. They had surfeited with it. And -suddenly they wanted to forget it. All play and no work made MAN a -discontented citizen. A reaction set in. Man was not completely -civilized as yet----THE WAR! - -Twenty-one years the war raged. And scarcely a million survived. Bit by -bit this million was whittled down by the weapons of destruction to -ragged handfuls of things that once had been cultured. Finally only one -hundred humans remained alive--and they kept fighting blindly, none of -them realizing how close to oblivion they were crowding themselves and -the future of humanity--and they went on killing, killing, killing! - -It is doubtless but what the entire human race would have vanished, -leaving the world to the more competent, though half-ignorant, hands of -the beasts, who fought and killed one another for self-preservation and -for food--not because of madness ... and who did not have books and talk -and have _culture_. The human race would have gone, had it not been for -the record. - -The fighters of WAR'S END, leaving their machines and countries to -congregate for personal combat, were engaging in hand-to-hand attacks in -the ruins of what once had been a tall and powerful city in the -Twentieth Century, but now lay crumbling, its proud buildings falling to -the ground, sticking out iron-rusted skeletons to the sky--and the city -was LOS ANGELES! - -HEDRIK HUNSON was fighting with phosphorized fists--hand inclosed in -chemically treated gloves that burned as they struck the antagonist, -insulated on the interior for the wearer--when suddenly the two of them -were caught by a spreader. The other man died instantly, but Hedrik got -it in the side and was whirled about sickeningly, and survived. - -He was lying painfully on something when he came to, but felt too dizzy -and sick to move. At last, when his head had cleared a bit, he rolled -over into a sitting position and reached out his arms to grasp--a -phonograph! - -Big things came in small packages in the days of 2171, and a portable -phonograph might well be taken for a weapon of some sort--which was -exactly what Hedrik thought! And you can hardly blame him, because no -one in that generation had ever seen one of the things. - -There was a curious story connected with the dying of music, concerning -the days of 2050 when there was a movement to stamp out all symphonies -and songs and things even slightly sentimental. - ---but back to Hedrik! - -Hedrik found the crank that wound the portable, turned it, reasoning -that perhaps it gave power--and then--holding it away from him--he -waited for rays to spurt out or something to explode. Nothing happened! -Hedrik was disappointed. After an agony of perspiration and puzzlement -he finally accidentally placed the needled arm onto the disk. The disk, -he noticed, was black and filled with little undulations. The disk was -like a wheel--so Hedrik thought--it should revolve like one, shouldn't -it? He pushed the starter thoughtfully and was more than surprised when -the disk started spinning. - -From the phonograph came music--music and singing! The lost Art had -returned! The Art banished under compulsion had made a comeback. - -Some man was singing on the record--in a queerly interesting and -familiar tongue, the ancient English. The singer seemed sad, almost -crying. And Hedrik was thrilled as he played it over and over again, -drinking in the new experience like wine on the lips of a connoisseur. -The voice rose, fell, lingered. And Hedrik suddenly didn't feel like -fighting anymore! - -The music floated out over the tumbled ruins, descended to the ears of -the other people. AND THE FIGHTING CEASED! They were transformed. They -came running to crowd about the machine. - -And there in that aged music shop they stood enthralled--music filled -their souls. It was exactly what they had needed and wanted for many -years. And it had been denied them. Music was the balancing force ... -the force that would help them struggle ahead rebuilding the world. And -next time they would be saner ... they knew ... the lesson of luxury had -been learned and learned well. Never again would they leave all of the -work to the machines. Now they would work and sing and play. - -It would be work ... hard work ... for some time to come. But they had -found music again, and that would anchor them to sanity. - -And thus was mankind saved through a record--_SONNY BOY!_ - - * * * * * - -FUTURIA FANTASIA!
