PSFS News was one name of the clubzine of the PSFS which has had a bewildering number of different names. From 1937 to the end of the War it was PSFS News followed by the PSFS Bulletin which was renamed the PSFS News Bulletin in 1947 or '48. The name had reverted to PSFS News again by 1952. In 1960 it was Science Fiction Viewsletter and then back to PSFS News. (We are using PSFS News for the whole since it's the most common name.)
