that those who are really interested can send their money ahead of time and wait for the issue to arrive. Nobody has gotten cheated yet and I don't plan that anyone should.

Another thing! I'm pretty good at remembering things hav- ing to do with readers, but don't depend on it. For exam- ple, I have noted down your girl names on your cards (when you have used one), but I think you'll agree that it's ask- ing a little too much to get a letter telling me something or asking me something and signed "Mary" or some such. Sure, use your girl names, it's nicer to write to Virginia and sign it Catherine than to write to Charles and sign it George when writing about the things we delight in. But off in the corner put the real name so I can relate it to you

Two other things about mail need clarification. Since some of the envelopes on No. 1 came unglued, I have made it a practice to put a strip of scotch tape across the flap Some of you have thought it had been put on by some body who had tampered with the mail. It's for your protection

Some of you have been concerned about answering ads and giving addresses for fear of blackmail or entrapment and have asked me to comment on this. Naturally I'd hate to think that any of our readers would have any interest in either of these activities and I'm sure any real TV would- not, but lets face it, outsiders do worm their way into groups for various nefarious purposes. So let's assume that such a person becomes a subscriber and answers an ad with the idea of getting something on someone else--what can be done about it. Well obviously if you are concerned about this possibility you want to protect against it. So these things are possible. Get a post office box. Take it out in your own name but tell the P.0. that Mr. Blank or Miss Blonde will also receive mail at that box. Then use this other name on your correspondence. It naturally makes no difference to me as Editor of TVia what name I mail to, but please dont use two names without keeping me informed or we are liable to get crossed up somewhere.
