I. CANADIAN SUBSCRIBERS ATTENTION: We are getting more and more canadian sisters on our roles. Due to the recent currency changes $4 Canadian does not come out as $4 U.S. I have not penalized any one because I know how anxious you are for the publications. But receiving only 90% of the subscription fee is rather rough. It would be appreciated if you would make this allowance when paying. II.

So when you dont get letters answered or other things done that you feel or have asked Virginia to do for you please understand how it is. Both Joyce and I will do our best, but there is a mountain of work here, and much of it voluntary, gratuitous and merely helpful to the cause in general and in many cases to individuals personally.

I took time out to write the Judge and also the town's newspaper, The Leader, objecting to this kind of punishment pointing our the troubled life it could lead to. I also pointed out the contradiction between a court ordering a boy into dresses at age 10 and then when he is caught
