ed on uncoated bond paper. #11 was on a special pebble finish paper, and #6,7,8,9, and 10 were on coated stock. Neither of these seemed to give the kind of effect desired and so we have settled on just good white bond paper for the future. Our ex- periments in color were designed to brighten up the magazine but we found that the pictures did not turn out well on coated stock, again negative results but they lead the way to a better appearing magazine. Pics from now on will be in black or some other dark color as they give better reproduction and are representations of our readers.

Starting with this issue we are doubling our printing run since we have had to reprint all past issues up to 9. This should be good news to all of you because it means a wider read- ership with resulting increasing sources of interesting mater- ial as well as the possibility of new friends as fempals by mail or in person. Some of you will have noticed that we have run ads in Confidential Flash, Justice. Weekly, Amusement Bus- iness and Search. These have brought in a lot of new sisters to the Sorority. We plan to continue our campaign of spread- ing knowledge of FEMIPHILIA (formerly Transvestism) wherever we can as funds accumulate to do so. Barbara Stevens my new associate has had a lot of experience in advertising and mail order work and she is doing a good job of taking this load off of my shoulders both freeing me for other editorial work and building up the circulation of TVia at the same time. I say thanks wholeheartedly to her, and you should too as her work is benefitting us all.

This issue is largely done by a new Verifax reproduction process that should result in greater legibility as well as making possible longer runs 80 that reprinting will not be 80 tedious or expensive.

III. WELCOME TO SUSANNA: I should have thought to put this at the top of the first page, Susanna, but I'm doing it off the cuff as it comes. Anyway, girls, I wish to announce that Susanna is, as you will see by referring to the Contents page, now a Contributing Editor. It is fitting that this should occur in the issue for which she makes a charming Cover Girl. In addition to her "Susanna Saya" column I will be expecting her to keep me posted on the doings in the east, so help her out.
