environmental inhibitions, and afraid of ostracism and ridicule- how many go through the years before admitting their difference to others.

No, Charles, your work will be mostly a lonely one. If you desire to continue well and good, but I feel that if you are to continue publication, much of it must be devoted to stories, fan- tasies and experiences, a good many of which will I believe be fabricated to satisfy the personal indulgence of the fabricator.

Editors Note: It isn't fair to print only the congratulatory side--the approving side, so the other is presented too. Fortun- ately "S.S." fear that I would be laboring alone has not come to pass. The program and presentation of the magazine has been wide- ly accepted and appears to be filling a need for many people. I believe that my ideas of presenting material not only for enter- tainment but for enlightenment and information as well are proving helpful to many readers in ridding themselves of guilt and fear and achieving greater self-acceptance. Moreover, an increasing number of non-TV readers are seeing this magazine and learning about the subject in ways they were never able to do before. am satisfied that the program is successful and that the magazine will continue to grow. Perhaps "S.S." judges too much by his own feelings which are right to a degree, and does not realize the need for understanding and the peace of mind that goes with it that dwells within so many of our kind.---Virginia.
