POSTAL TROUBLES CONTINUE:

Our problems with the U.S. still continue. Each mail brings news that some subscriber has failed to get merchandise that our records show has been mailed. Others report that though the package was received it had been opened and the contents tampered with or partially removed. In the other direction several have said that they have mailed us checks which our records show that we never received. The difficult part of it all is that most of those who fail to get their mail would not want us to put a tracer on it because of getting involved at their end of the line so we are dead. We have taken to making completely sepa- rate lists of mailings so that we can be sure of catching any errors within our own organization, but after its in the P.O. box we are helpless. During the past two weeks we have even taken to mailing the material from another post office. We are taking the matter up with the local Postmaster next week but please bear with us if you are one of these who do not receive merchandise. We are doing all we can here and can only make the same offer as before, duplication of lost shipments at half price.

There is another Charles Prince in the phone book and I understand he is getting rather tired of people calling him and talking rather in circles about things he does not know anything about. I should tell you there- fore, that my number is unlisted. If you are coming through Los Angeles, let me know where you are staying and when and I will try to call you. I say try because I can't guarantee either that I will remember or that I will be home that day to call you, but I will try.
