I Just before we locked the door to our office, turned the keys
and a few cans of catfood over to a "good
Samaritan"

and left for Tahlequah, Okla.: to attend the Writerst Conference,
we found it necessary to have most of the magazine
made up. Consequently, there is little room left tosay much about
the conference except we're looking forward to
next year's repeat performance. And maybe, now that we know what
goes on, we can leave a bit more room next
year to talk about it.

Maybe, as Mr. and Mrs. jack pelts (the sponsors) plan, we saw the
launching of a move to set up Tahlequah as a
national culture center. Which is fitting and proper, since
Tahlequah was the site of the old Cherokee Indian capitol,
set up after the "civilized" invaders had driven the "savages"
from their southeastern u. S. homes into the wilderness
over the infamous "Trail of Tears". A century later, we are just
beginning to learn who were the "savages 'I- -and it
may be that it will take the ghost of the" red man" to show us
that the atom bomb and big debts are not necessarily
more cultural than the peace pipe and an understandingof Nature.

Speakers at the conference' were Arthur J. Burks, of Paradise,
Penn., who w in from a series of successful
meetings in Puerto Rico; Herb Blackschleger, of Los Angeles,
Calif.; Tom DeVore, outdoor writer and radio
director, of Tulsa, Byron J. Smith, western writer of Lubbock,
Texas; L. E. White, publicity writer, currently
working with the sponsors of the anti-Crushef Khrushade, and
Alphia Hart,. who proved once again thathe knows
more about editing than yelping from a rostrum. Mrs. Felts was
moderator, and spoke on poetry writing and the
duties of the authors' agent. The entire program--which not only
was for writers but had metaphysical undertones,
was taped t5r Qha les Rhoades, of Horizons Unlimited, Oklahoma
City., and these will be transcribed and published
in book form.

The weather was perfect-whether by accident, by the power of
"psychics" present,

y

or it may have been the spirits of the old tribal medicine men
were looking after a meeting which was to revive and
re-establish their culture. The editor had one objectiou: Almost
everyone stayed at one of Tahlequah's motels,
where the lectures also were held, and we doubt if many went away
knowing much more about Tahlequah itself
than they knew when they arrived...

lHarold S. SchroeDDel. of Hazel Iffr-est, Ill., one of7 the
"lobby students" when we were taking our first course
in Dianetics at Wichita. dropped in for an overnight yak-yak
session this past month --and almost every minute was
utilized to its oralmost. We think we even went to sleep while
one of us was talking, after wed gone to bed. Harold
was on his way to San Diego. where be has a month's auditing
assignment

and was to stop over to meet

fellow sensitive in Phoenix. He is being accompanied by his
daughter, Renata. Anyhow, out of the long session,
we don't know what Harold got - other than a few cups of
coffee-but ABERRM readers soon will be getting a
special seriallred manuscript, "Lessons in Z_ vanced Perception".
Harold admits it will helD some who use it,
"spin" some who only play with it, and puzzle those who
know-nothing about it. but we don't care-we can take
helping, spinning, and puzzling readers all in stride ...

I other visitors ofthe past
month were Dr. and Mrs. J. Har-
old Thibo Beach,
S. Car., with their son Peter -
They were on their way to CRT-
ifornia to look over a chiro-
practic school for Peter, V!!o
is contemplating following in
his parents' footsteps. it
was an all -too short visit.
since they didn It reach Enid
until midnight, and bedded down
at a motel before coming to
the downtown office for a few
minutes on their way out of
town. There was a possibilitY
they'd stoD on their way back.
but apparently, things didn't
work out --or one look was en-
ough for the good doctor and
his equally good wife ...
