the collection of material. Since the production would look very mixed up if different typewriters and type were used, it just isn't feasible to have things typed on other machines. The biggest nuisance of the whole thing is gath- ering and stapling each issue and then taking it down and trimming it. And of course in order to protect the pri- vacy of the individual as I have promised, nobody but my- self can copy names or address envelopes or handle them once they have been addressed.

These complications put a distinct limit on what can be done in the magazine Many of you have almost begged me to make it a monthly. I understand your feelings and hope that you will understand my problems. After all I have to make a living and carry out other responsibilities so that I can only work on TVia in the evening and about an hour before breakfast. Then when other complications come up even that is thrown off schedule. You are getting #6 lat because my wife had a serious operation and caring for the house, the garden, the pets and being nurse didn't leave much time for recording the mail and keeping up with the daily demands of TVia plus those of getting the next issue out. I'm sorry, but it couldnt be helped. These same limitations apply to the contents of TVia. Lots of you have made suggestions of what you would like to see in the magazine, but unless somebody contributes these departments they can't be put in Thus many want makeup helps, information about where to buy things, what cities have impersonator shows, information about various personal problems etc. I simply can't WRITE the maga- zine as well as edit it. I barely find time to write these Emanations and sometimes miss my Virgin Views column So if you want new features presented--get them together and send them in. If they seem of general interest they will get in-- to one issue or another. These 80 some pages fill up pretty quickly when you start running stories, articles and pictures yet the mag has to be held at about this size.

Please dont ask me to notify you when an issue is ready. This is costly in time, trouble and postage. I'm sure
