yet you do not fill in with the back issues. At the sp- ecial back issue rate or 6 for the price of 5 ($20.00) they are only $ 3.33 apiece, so why not fill in the holes in your collection and make it complete?
III. SPECRETARIES AND LISTS: It is becoming incre- asingly apparent to me that in view that it is manifes- tly impossible to run a business that grows every day in size and complexity all by myself. I am going to require help. Every one volunteers to help, but the kind I need can't be parceled out to volunteers. I need someone to do what Joyce did. Not just the Mirror, Maryann is handling that, but, someone to help in re- cording, packaging, mailing etc. To do this they must have access to the mailing list. Now I have always said that I kept access to the list limited to myself, my wife, and in their day to Barbara and to Joyce. I am therefore going to have to find someone that I can employ to assist in this. Naturally I'll try and find a re- liable and understanding person. But she could not help unless the address cards were in her hands while she did the job.
Now the great majority of you use P. O. boxes, and many of you use pseudonyms, so the problem of secur- ity is really not as serious as it might seem. What I propose to do therefore is to set up two lists, an "O" list for open and a "C" list for Closed. Any of you who feel it is necessary for you to be on the "C" list must tell me to put you on this list. I will then handle the "C" list personally and let my hired girl handle the "O" cards. This will probably mean a slightly longer delay in getting things mailed since I will have to wait till I can do the job myself whereas the girl can do it several times during the week. However, it appears to be the only solution, I really don't think there are many of you who need to be on a "C" list because either you revealed your true names when you ordered in the first place thus showing that you were not too scared, or used a false name, in which case it doesn't make any difference anyway who sees it. Naturally Contact and FPE forms will continue to be handled by me personally. So if you feel you MUST be on the "C" list please let me know soon, otherwise I will as- sume that the "O" list is O.K. as far as your concerned.
