operations do not share this concern for those who contact them and do no screening. As a result there is a degree of hazard in making such contacts. I do not care to name names lest I be accused of running various persons and activities down for my own benefit. I simply say be warned and consider the various possibilities. Some people like to keep letters and make little books of addresses etc. If trouble comes to them those letters and books become source material for the dragnet of the authorities.

Recently in England exactly this happened. Some person got into trouble and all of the name and addresses found with him were then contacted by police or postal authorities including some of our sister FPE members over there. They had ventured into contacts thru other sources and a number of them got burned. It is a rather traumatic experience to say the least and some of our U.S. sisters have been innocent victims of being on other people's or groups mailing lists and have to undergo investigation and questioning. Do what you please, but do it with awareness of possible complications.

She is a very busy executive with a responsible job and a family and makes her contribution to FPE out of the goodness of her heart and her dedication. So things will get done but please be patient. After all most of you have waited years, so another month won't be so bad.

IV. ADVICE: Readers all the time write asking for the names of doctors for hormones, dress shops, beauty parlors, or other establishments in their city that are understanding etc. They also
