of material sent in by our own people. If you can write, draw, or title cartoons pitch in and send something in. Don't be surprised if I don't use it right away, as I have to plan quite a way ahead and because I have to select items to make up a reasonably well rounded magazine. So some things stay in the file for sometime before printing, but I have to have a backlog to select from. Poetry, incidentally, is something many people can do but our contributors in this line are very limited. We can stand more poetry so how about the bards among you getting busy. I still would like to have letters from wives even though the wives book has been printed (its gone into its second printing too). These letters appearing in TVia occasionally serve to help both new TVs and new wives that may pick up the magazine, so if you have an "A" or "B" wife (see Susanna's column in this issue) get her to write in something about her view of TV.

SPECIAL CONTRIBUTIONS: Outside of the usual stories, histories, etc. I am always particularly inter- ested in receiving letters from wives as one of these every now and again in TVia is encouraging to those TVs who are not married and helpful to other wives who do not understand. Maybe Susanna's classification of wives in her column of this issue will stir up some re- plies from "C" and "D" wives. In addition to these I am particularly anxious to get some brief letters or articles dealing with the children matter from those couples who have told all or part of the story to the kids. I would like to print a collection of notes about this subject if I can get enough together to make it worthwhile. So if you have told your kids, allowed them to find out or been discovered, please write up the matter and send it in.

X. ORDER SLIPS AGAIN: You would help me a lot to get your orders off to you and to be able to trace back when anything goes wrong if you would use the order slips printed in the back of each issue. These I can file and go back to if necessary which I can't do with letters. They are designed to be cut out so please do.
