ABOUT THIS ISSUE...

THIS IS A "PUFF" ISSUE of the Review, designed to show readers what is being published in the various area newsletters and also to tell about the Society's 4th Annual Convention at San Francisco.

AS NOTED IN THE CONTENTS, a copy of the current newsletter from Denver, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco is inoluded in this edition. Some repetition of advertising and plugs for Mattachine publications will therefore be noted by our readers. Particularly, several pages of space devoted to promotion of a book, "Gay Bar," will be noted. This could not be avoided without expensive re-makes and reprinting of the se publications, something that neither time nor funds would permit us to do.

BRIEF REPORTS of three of the Society's active departments are published in this edition. The fourth department, LegalLegislative, is not specifically reported, although much activity in this field has been accomplished on area levels in all six cities where chapters are located.

SOME REGULAR FEATURES are included in this edition, but in condensed form. Future issues, however, will return to the customary format with full and complete departments.
