other items, and increases income in a very important way. We have found that it is exactly like a faucet: turn off the Promotion Committee (as to a degree happened this past summer) and ONE wilts; turn it back on and ONE revives. So it might be thought of as the very life-blood of ONE's growth. Incidentally, as these thousands of letters go out, a considerable number of them are undelivered. In this way the Committee weeds out the moved, the lost, and keeps their mailing list "live."

And what does this mean to you and your friend? Simply that we need such a committee in every major city in America, not just in LA. There is no better way to achieve this than for one or two of you here and there to pitch in. Gradually friends may become interested enough to want to help. out and the committee may grow.

Some important differences in procedure seem practical however. For instance, it does not seem practical for us to ship you bulky bundles of envelopes, of subscription blanks, other advertising material and back copies of the magazine, as well as stamps for mailing, etc. Much simpler for you to begin collecting names (as you have done so well. already), type these on "Duplistickers" in triplicate. Keep one set yourselves and paste on 3 x 5 file cards for future checking and mail us the other two sets. One of these will go on our file cards, the other on envelopes for current mailing.

It is working out that we have about six major campaigns per year, each using different promotional material, or one every other month. Perhaps as we gain in speed anw know-how this can be stepped up. We shall see. Meanwhile, we have found the current methods very practical, simple to carry out if you can find enough willing workers and very necessary for the actual continuance of ONE in business. I must repeat, without these campaigns ONE cannot exist, because our resources are so limited.

So you see how important a part you can play, if you decide to help ONE this way.

How to get names? Many ways. You already know many people. That is your nucleus. Your friends know many people. That is how ONE started back in the fall of 1952. There are many other ways aside from personal friends. Watch the papers for judges, police officers, all public officials who should be educated or might be interested. You get the names of all sociology, psychology, law, psychiatry instructors in Universities and colleges in Missouri and Kansas. Then you comb college catalogs for English professors. who might find ONE valuable as a literary phenomenon. Next you take your phone books and get the names of all professional psychologists, psychiatrists and attorneys whom you have an idea might be needing to know about ONE. When you have worked Kansas City you take on St. Louis and Wichita and Topeka and other cities in your general

area.

Many other ideas will come to you as you work along but I think I have said enough to make you realize you would be undertaking a career of quite some duration! In fact, we find it is a field whose possibilities we have barely touched. If it were otherwise ONE would be bigger and stronger than it is. When we know that there are thousands of homosexuals in your area, and that our subscribers there are but a score or So, we can hardly pat ourselves on the back with much enthusiasm yet.

Let us know if you are ready to dive in. DAVID L. FREEMAN CIRCULATION MANAGER

EDITOR'S NOTE: We have many requests from people wishing to know how they may help ONE. The above correspondence is printed in answer to one and all. This correspondence took place last October and we wish to thank publicly Mr. J. and his friends for the very fine job they are doing!

PRICES CHANGED

For the past two years or so scarce copies of ONE have been priced at $1.00. This discouraged the casual buyer and kept these issues available for those wishing to complete their volumes of the magazine. Limited storage space now makes it necessary to clear these out and make room for current issues.

1953 @ 0.50 each-January, February, May, June, August-December, inclusive 1954 @0.50 each-January, March
