As you've noticed, MODERN SCREEN'S price has just jumped from a dime to 15c. Ever since I heard the had news myself, I've heen thinking of something cheerful to say ahout that extra nickel. I read a story once ahout a poet who got his hest ideas while shaving. I tried that this morning. And cut myself! So — to heck with heing cheerful. Instead, I'll just say what's on my mind. The news that we had to up our price was a kick in the teeth to all of us. For a whole year, we've heen the only important fan mag selling for a dime. We were proud of that fact! Now, raising the price is like running up a flag of surrender. But there it is . . . the cost of living has caught up with us. Roast heef is high. So is asparagus. And printing. I wouldn't give roast I>eef or asparagus another thought for the duration if it would help. But printing — where are we without printing? For that matter, where would you he (I hope) without MODERN SCREEN? Are you going to let a contemptihle little nickel hreak up our heautiful friendship? See you next month! EDITOR P. S. — There's a marvellous surprise for you on page 18! AUGUST, 1943 2!
