*** CHALLENGE *

One of our number has written the beginnings of an interesting story printed below. It stops at a convenient point and readers are invited to send in their continuations of it. I will select the three endings I think best and print them in the following issues. Then the author of the one that you readers think best will receive a free issue of TVia. Please type stories or write legibly and try to write in the same type area as a standard page of the magazine as it is easier to copy. Try to keep the length to 6 or 8 pages of this size.

Here is an opportunity for imaginative budding authors to step in and show what they can do. Please do not delay in sending your manuscrips so that I have a chance to select the best 3 for TVia # 9--Ed.
