MATTACHINE REVIEW regards the forthcoming Seventh Midwinter Institute of One, Incorporated, to be held January 26-29, 1961 in Los Angeles, as an event of importance for all who are interested in the problems of homosexuality. J

An announcement of the event which tells the basic plan for this year's Institute. appears on the outside and inside back covers of this issue. All who can . attend should plan to do so; those who cannot should study the announcement and contribute their ideas to the questions asked.

Address of One, Inc., is 232 South Hill Street, Los Angeles 12. Replies and inquiries should be sent there in care of the Education Division which will sponsor this unusual educational event.

The special Christmas Issue of Mattachine REVIEW, to be mailed to subscribers only in mid-December, will contain a 4-page insert questionnaire prepared by One, Inc., for additional ideas on the "Homosexual Bill of Rights" thème which their Institute will give its attention to. All readers are urged to watch for it, give it serious thought and submit it to the Institute also.

Having attended five of the previous six Mid-Winter Institutes of One in Los Angeles, it is with complete assurance that we can recommend this next event to all members and friends of Mattachine. To miss this out-standing conference which will bring the understanding of homophiles into sharper focus.
