TO OUT CANADIAN SISTERS: As we get more subscribers in Canada we have an increasing problem. Many of you send us either Canadian money or checks. Both of these are discounted in American banks at about 90-92 cents to the dollar depending on the daily exchange rate. As a result we do not get the payment we should. With postage in- cluded in subscription rates and its increase due shortly we would like to ask you Canadian girls (and those in other countries too for that matter) that if you cant send American money, obtain money orders payable in dollars at your bank.

In this regard I again request anyone receiving mail that is out of line and questionable to let me know its source so that we will not forward any more mail to that person. As I have said before--if we do not police our own group we will find ourselves policed by others with unpleasant and perhaps disastrous results.

PRIVACY: Many envelopes are rather thin and it is not too difficult to read through them. For privacy it is desirable to
