***** EDITORIAL EMANATIONS *****

Because of the inclusion of so many Letters to the Ed- itor and the necessity of finishing off the Medical Survey article, the much enlarged Person to Person section etc. this issue has grown slightly beyond the usual 80 pages. For this reason there wont be any VIRGIN VIEWS Column in this issue. I'll try to make up for it in #6 What I have in mind to write about takes some thinking and for some reason I usually let the Views go to the last because that is where I place them in the mag. This means last minute scurring around to write the column in order to not delay the mag. But this time I'm going to skip it and speak to you only thru these "Emanations".

I'm sure you are all as glad as I am to see the much increased use of our Person to Person section. One of the main purposes behing TVia in the first place was to provide a center of contact which was not available elsewhere. Sometime I may have time to take a census by states of our subscribers to show where the concentrations are so that readers will have an idea how many they can contact. The biggest concentration of course is in the biggest popula- tion centers--New York and vicinity, and the whole state of Pennsylvania. The mag is yours to use, so do.so.

I get letters signed "Susie", or "Maryanne" etc. and nothing else. I have a pretty good memory and early realized that I would have to keep records of fem- inine names too, but as the list grows longer each week it is beginning to be increasingly difficult to remember who is who. Especially is this so when we have several "Helens" "Bettys" etc. So So please sign anyway you want but off in the corner put your subscription name--it will help.

And while we are on the subject of letters--may I sug- gest once again that you all put return addresses on your
