The mag is made up of the things you readers submit. It takes all I can do to collect, edit, organize, type, print and mail together with the necessary bookkeeping and corres- pondence. So when you like a particular thing help keep it in stock. For example, many of you have commented favorably on the cartoons, but only 2 of you have sent any in, and that supply is exhausted, so if there are to be more they will have to be sent in.

I would like to take this space to tender my thanks to those of you who remembered Virginia with Christmas Cards and in 3 instances with personal gifts. It is heartening to know that my efforts over the past year have been appre- ciated and that you think of me as a friend and sent cards or gifts. I wish I could acknowledge them all personally but I know you understand why I can not. I wish further that I could know you all personally but cannot. However, I have met several of you who have travelled through L.A. in fact Virginia has had a few "dates"--lots of fun, and I hope there will be more.

Now I have a new project that I'd like to spring on

you. Many of you collect scrap books on TV but cannot poss- ibly see all the mags. and newspapers published in various parts of the country. Also many of you have expressed the wish that TVia came out monthly. Now how would you like to have me put out on alternate months to the magazine a 4-8 page clip sheet made up of photostats of clippings from mags and papers? This would have to cost $1 each or $5 for 6 months due to the cost of subscription to a clipping bur- eau and the photo offset printing. It would not be feasible on this basis unless I could obtain at least 100 subs. So if you are interested you can send in your sub. I'll hold it in a seperate account and file till I get 100 and go to press with it, or if I dontget that many in a 2 months per- iod I'll return the money or apply it against future issues of TVia. Please give me these alternate instructions when subscribing, and then sit back and wait for results.
