Editorial: CATCHING UP WITH THE DATE LINE An ounce of performance is worth a pound of promises, and with THE August number of TELESCOPE we are trying to live UP TO THAT BIT OF PHILOSOPHY. ALL DURING 1954 THE PUBLISHING COMMITTEE HAS BEEN BESET BY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE ALL BUT CAUSED A MONTH 1S SUSPENSION OF THE MAGAZINE. At last things are leveling off again and not only can WE LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING THE TELESCOPE OUT ON TIME,BUT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD, WITH SOME ASSURANCE, TO JUST DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF PAGES. THEREAFTER, IF TELESCOPE CONTINUES RECEIVING SUPPORT AT THE RATE OF INCREASE THAT HAS PREVAILED DURING THE, PAST FEW MONTHS, ADDITIONAL EIGHT-PAGE SECTIONS MAY BE EXPECTED FROM TIME TO TIME. MORE GOOD MATERIAL IS NOW ON HAND THAN OUR EIGHT PAGES PERMIT US TO PUBLISH WITHOUT HAVING TO RUN IT SERIALLY FOR TOO LONG A TIME. WE STILL ARE IN NEED OF SHORT SKETCHES HAVING TO DO WITH PEOPLE AND PLACES AND WE WILL ALWAYS WELCOME ITEMS FOR OUR CURRENT EVENTS REPORTS WHICH APPEAR UNDER THE HEAD ING,"FOR THE RECORD".LeT fS MAKE THIS DEPARTMENT WORTH WHILE.
