EDITORIAL EMANATIONS

I.

TYPING: I have bought some 1200 names of Psychiatric Clinics across the country and have had 2000 reprints made of the article in SEXOLOGY. I am also going to have reprints made of a beautiful little article which will, I hope, appear as part of the Cover Girl story in a forthcoming issue. These, together with a covering letter, I propose to mail to each of the clinics in the hope that they may provide a little extra light on the subject to the Psychiatric pro- fession. Possibly some other FPs who come to these doctors or clin- ica in the future may be given more understanding and help becuase of this or possibly some disturbed and non-understanding wife can be given a new outlook. Both such results will be worth the invest- ment. However, 1200 is a lot of names to type on top of everything else, so I would like to have those of you who can type and are will- ing to help to let me know and I'll send you part of the list of names together with the address stickers and you can type and mail them back for me. It would be a great help and something that YOU can do for the cause.

II. SUGGESTIONS: Various ones of the girls have made suggestions about changes they would like to see in TVia and some of these are good and will be followed, TERRY (32-H-2), for example, has suggest- ed that the nature of the article be indicated in the table of con- tents, and this will be done. However, she has also suggested that the magazine be printed in divided pages like the Readers Digest. This will not be done because it can't be. TVia is typed and then photo-offset printed. Large circulation magazines are typeset to begin with and this makes possible even righthand margins and no waste space. This cannot be done on a typewriter, however, and would make the typing much more work and the page raggedy. The answers to other suggestions are found in the Preference Poll report in this issue. Some want one thing and some another and we'll try to please all.

III. THE DIFFERENCE!! What distinguishes TRANSVESTIA from other magazines, even others like Bizarre, Fantasia, etc. is that I have tried to make it your magazine in that I try to integrate the read- ers ideas of what they want with my ideas of what they should get.
