We
of it financially, yet she was with us in spirit as her letters in- dicated. She died at the age of 64 and those years had seen Ellen do about everything a woman can do outside of being a mother. hope that these two souls having experienced life broadly (no pun intended) here on earth will be well received on the other side. VI. GENEROSITY: This is a fine quality but it is sometimes used in unhelpful ways. I surely have no objection to loaning copies of TVia to those whose financial circumstances preclude their subscrip- tion---nobody should be denied the opportunity--but it seems rather unfair to the whole idea when some who are quite able to carry their share of the load dont do so. I don't say this out of selfish fin- ancial considerations. I think I am safe in asserting that I do my share. However, it seems to me that loaning copies to those who can well afford to support the efforts of this magazine themselves is not helping. The more we are in number the better we can be in quality and the louder the voice with which we speak. Naturally I would like to see the size of our readership increase so that when I am asked, "How many subscribers do you have" I could name a large and impressive number. So 'how about you free loaders car- rying some of the load, financially, numberically and otherwise? VII ADS FROM NON-SUBSCRIBERS: We have had Ads sent in by persons
not on the subscription list. These have been refused. We feel that those unwilling to support should not be entitled to the bene- fits of the magazine. Moreover, lack of support may be indicative that the advertiser is not a good security risk, perhaps not even a TV at all. Thus in the interests of all the ad is not accepted. VIII. DO ME A FAVOR, PLEASE? There are various types of services and offers of help that many of you have made from time to time. I try to note these down, but when they are made in letters that have ads or orders in them the letter usually gets routed another way. So I have a request. Would those of you who can and will contri- bute in various ways take a 3 x 5 file card (or piece of paper that size) and put your femmename and code number in the upper righthand corner. Then state what you can and will do. I'm particularly in- terested in those of you who are artists and can do illustrations for stories or other types of art work; translators from foreign languages into english; typists; those who are M.D.s or attorneys able and willing to help sisters in need; and any other talents that can be put to good use. Please list these things and then I can set up a card file for this sort of thing. It would help a lot.
