Having a background in psychology and also in the treatment of the disturbed individual, I feel that one of your greatest fields of service falls in his direction: giving added strength to members of our groups who are disturbed and in need of a helping hand.

I first entered the field of psychology in an effort to find out what was wrong with myself, but I soon discovered that my problem and that of most of our kind can be traced to faulty adjustment to life. Anything we can do to help our friends adjust to life is of great and lasting value.

Dear ONE:

Mr. D. Spokane, Wash.

Hey there yerself!! Happy seventh birthday, and many more of 'em! And here's $10. Anon

San Diego, Calif.

Happy birthday, and may you have many more! Wish this could be larger, but it's the best I can do at present. I want you to know how much I enjoyed my first copies of ONE Confidential.

Miss H. Chicago, Ill.

Here is my pittance. Wish I could send at least ten times this amount. I am canvassing some friends to see how much I can pry out of them.

Mr. S. Philadelphia, Pa.

Since the section "Hey There" was marked in the October ONE Confidential, and since I have never received a bill from you for your magazine, I am enclosing a contribution to your cause. I wish it could be more.

With all good wishes for your most valuable work.

Harry Benjamin, M.D. New York, N. Y.

I wish this gift for your Fund Drive could be more but it is all I can afford now. I want to say how much I enjoy ONE Confidential and ONE Magazine. It's like receiving a letter from very close friends and warms my heart to know there are so many of us who feel the same way. Your publication is improving month by month and I hope that you can go right on growing.

Mr. C.

Allen Park, Mich.

I'm sorry I couldn't come up with the dough sooner and only a little amount, as I don't have much. But I want you to know that I'm back of you all the way. Not because you need help, but because you've helped me in many, many months when I

The most praised book we have offered this year has been CHORUS OF WITCHES. For a full description, plus a reproduction of the exciting dust jacket, send for our free list No. 22. Or send $3.95 plus 25c postage for your copy of this witty and happy novel. A perfect Christmas gift.

receive ONE Magazine and the gay and informative articles that it has.

So please keep up the good work and I for one will say thanks for all the work you've done in the past and hope you can keep going in the future.

Mr. L. Chicago, Ill.

I'll try to send $10 per month and hope it will help in a small way. I didn't win the Irish Sweepstakes (again) so we'll both have to struggle a while longer!

I admire you fellows so very much for keeping going in spite of what must be heartbreaking discouragements. I sure as the devil hope you can continue to hold out. If it helps, use this check to buy gin and give yourselves a lift-temporary, unfortunately.

As usual my gifts are completely unrestricted as you know far better than I to which depleted fund it had best be applied. My gifts?? Hell-they're my investment in a better future for me and many others, made possible by you devoted few.

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Mr. L. Brooklyn, N. Y.

At the time of going to press gifts for the Seventh Birthday Fall Fund Drive have amounted to $1,387,34. For this help, on behalf of ONE, Incorporated, our sincere thanks to each and every one of you-and to those who wanted to do something, but just weren't able. As the letter from our Board of Directors (on the Editorial page) indicated, the urgent need is for $5,000, to pull us out of the red. So, until this amount comes in above regular sales and subscription income we will still have to scrimp and struggle and "rob Peter to pay Paul" as has been the unhappy necessity for many months past.
