OUR NEW NAME: Our magazine, formerly called "UFO International", has now become "Flying Saucers International", which we feel to be a more appropriate title, since Flying Saucers are no longer unidentified Flying Objects as far as we are concern- ed. Flying Saucers have become a serious issue with thinking people all over the world. We believe that most of the objects which have been sighted have been of extraterrestrial origin, controlled by intelli- gent beings who, in form, are very much like us. Therefore, we hope you will understand our reasons for changing titles, and that you will continue to enjoy reading our publication under its new banner. DR. RAYMOND BERNARD, founder of the Theosophical Society of Santa Caterina, Brazil, passed away on Sept. 10, 1965. He was the author of "The Hollow Earth" and several other books concerned with the hollow earth theory. MARIA ELLIOTT, contactee, psychic and founder of Maria Creative Womanhood Foundation, was a recent guest on the Bob Grant Radio Show, and the Pamela Mason TV Show. Glamorous Maria now has her own program every Tuesday afternoon at 10 p. m. on KTYM radio. She may be seen in person every Wed. evening at Holland House Restau- rant, 8:00 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room. Interesting program may be heard on New Age topics, and free readings are given. For more information about Maria's appearances, classes, etc., phone 657-1631, or write: Dr. Maria Elliott; 43 Sunset Plaza Drive; Los Angeles, Calif. 90069. DR. GEORGE KING, founder of the Aetherius Society, was host at the official opening of the Society's new headquarters at 6202 Afton Place; Los Angeles, Calif. 90028; on March 5, 1966. After the program Dr. King personally escorted us around the attractive quarters. He also reported that a high Space Being in physical form had visited there recently for an hour and fifteen minutes and, after walking around the premises, left his blessing with Aetherius Society and its work.

DELLA LARSON, who for over a decade was the guiding light and main instigator of Flying Saucer meetings and activities in the San Francisco Bay Area, passed away on October 25, 1965. She was 70 years old. She will be remembered for her energetic and enthusiastic dedication to the goal of the Flying Saucer cause, as well as for the highly successful annual Northern California Space Craft Convention which she organized for nine years. (Della, we salute you!) MAX MILLER, former publisher of the now defunct "Saucers" magazine, and author of "Flying Saucers: Fact or Fiction" (now out of print), has a new role. He is now editor-publisher of "Real" magazine which may be found on the newsstands for 50¢. The August '66 issue devotes about half of its space to the Flying Saucer subject and will be well worth your investigation. WILBUR MILLER, one of the early researchers in the Flying Saucer Movement, passed away on March 5, 1966. He was known for his fine channelings with several Space Beings, including Mars. He also was the co-author -- with his wife Evelyn -- of the book "We of the New Dimension." Although he was a native of Missouri he had, in recent years, been a resident of Los Angeles and Morongo Valley, Calif. (Good journey, Will!) HOPE TROXELL, founder of the School of Thought, now situated in Independence, Calif. (P. O. Box 458), reported recently that the neighboring towns of Bishop and Lone Pine had partial blackouts during an evening channel (telepathic) session she had with the Space Brothers. The lights in Inde- pendence went out completely for several minutes a gradual fade-out, and then came on again in the same manner. During this time, the Space Beings speaking through Hope said to those present: "Be not afraid. We are guardians of the race. Protection will be given to those in the area." HAL WILCOX made a fine guest appearance on the Joe Pyne TV Show, April 30, 1966. Hal passed the lie-detector test with flying colors and conducted himself with dignity and fortitude, which isn't always easy on the Joe Pyne Show. During the test, Hal stated that he had taken a saucer ride to visit the planet from the star, Alpha Centauri. M. I. N. D. stands for Mental Investigations of New Dimensions, an organization recently formed by Wesley and JoNell Bateman. Their activities include meetings, courses and public appearances. They have

of up to 20 people, their ability to telepathically direct the movements of visible spacecraft over

California 90027. Phone: 661-1731. HELEN & GABRIEL GREEN contributed to the education of nearly 300,000 young people on the saucer subject at the Teen-Age Fair, April 1 thru 10 at the Hollywood Palladium, where AFSCA had a booth to exhibit saucer photos, show slides, and disseminate information. We handed out over 10,000 brochures and saucer photo post cards, and talked ourselves hoarse answering questions for 12 hours each day. Gabriel also made over a dozen radio appearances and interviews during the Fair. We also had another booth at the National Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition at the Pan Pacific Auditorium, May 17 thru 22. Yes, we've been busy!
