don't do anything further about it. If I find no record of the order or if there is some thing in question about it I'll answer. But if a couple of weeks go by after you asked the first time and still it doesn't come then the probabilities are that you are the unfortunate victim of what we might euphemistically call a "postal irregu- larity." About 2 or 3 out of every main mailing never gets there. Since this always makes the reader unhappy I take a lot of pains to be sure in my records so that I can be satisfied that it is not my fault. If there is any doubt in my mind I reship without cost, but if I can be sure that the trouble arose after I put the ship- ment in the mail box then I have a standing offer to split the cost between us and reship on receipt of half the original price. There have been those that consid- ered this to be a racket on my part, but there have al- so been those who upon looking into the matter found that somebody had been tampering with their mail, mis- delivering it, etc.

I had hoped to make some changes in the format of TVia with this issue, but the hurry of trying to get it out before my hospitalization made this impossible. However, you can look forward to a little livening up during the year.

In the last issue I gave everyone an opportunity to make pointed suggestions as to what they thought could be improved about the magazine. Judging by the skimpy response TVia must be just about perfect, or el- se everyone is afraid to let fly, because I got very few suggestions or criticisms. Most of what I have gotten has been in the form of suggestions that I cannot per- sonally carry out. Thus, several of the girls would like to see Fashion, a medical review section, makeup in- struction etc. I agree these would all be valuable, but I cannot write them as well as edit all of Chevalier Pub's output. I hope there are those among the reader- ship that will make their ability available for the good of all by undertaking to do some of these things.
