would realize that the life problems faced by TVs and their ultimate solution are far more important than little local personality clashes, we will be able to maintain an organization intent on solutions and can put our united energies to work on them.

If, on the other hand, you think I am setting myself up as the "Great Leader" who can do no wrong and to whose dictates all should bow, I most certainly am NOT. I can make intellectual errors of judg- ment and get emotionally upset just like the rest of you. Although I have been referred to as a "dictator", every so-called dictation has been for the benefit of the group as a group not and has not benefited me personally either prestige-wise or financially. I am, however, in a position of leadership by virtue of having provided the type of focal point referred to earlier- one which FPs the world over can center their interests upon, participate in group activities, contribute talents, and, in general, do those things that promote their own long term hopes. But this is not an appeal for personal support. It IS an appeal to all of you to keep your eyes on the purposes and principles which have been enunciated in TVia for FPE, the Foundation and the magazine itself. Lets NOT mix things up by paying more attention to a person--any per- son, myself or any other--than we do to these purposes. It should be made clear that there is nothing that any other leader or any other group can do for the good of TVs of FPs anywhere that cannot be done within the framework of the organizations already set up. The form is there waiting to be used- and it is there regardless of any one person's leadership. Anyone who feels it necessary or desirable to set up a secondary organization can be doing so only for motives of personal prestige or gain as any others are capable of being fulfilled within the limits of the present Foundation. Don't misunderstand! I am not say- ing that nothing could be done better than I have proposed doing it, but I am saying that anything worth doing for the general good can be done within the present setup without resorting to another organization which would only split loyalties, efforts and support.

We now have the Foundation, it is being incorporated as a non- profit California corporation as you read these lines. Let us take this framework and mold it to serve our purposes. If others are willing to shoulder some of the work involved and if they have different ideas than those already propounded let them come forward and be judged by the membership, but let them not try to assert themselves for selfish reasons in independent activities. I shall be happy to print ideas and contributions to the work of the Foundation so if you don't agree with me let's have it in writing and in due course it will get before the membership. Everyone of you does not agree with me in all respects, and that is as it should be, but, I feel sure, EVERYONE of you is in agreement with the long range goals and hopes that have been put for- ward. If you do, stick to the goals and purposes and support them. Don't be divided and diverted into local personality cliques in various 71.
