Emanations

I. IT'S WHAT'S UP FRONT THAT COUNTS: I hope nobody will mind the fact that Virgin Views comes right after the lead story in this issue. I didn't have a rush of immodesty to the head. Its just that I wanted to be sure that it gets read. Many readers seem to read the history and fiction articles which are generally first and sometimes don't bother with the tail end of the magazine. I think a lot of you don't read these 3 pages either, at least I'll ask, suggest, or tell something here and many fail to respond to the request or suggestion as though it had never been made. But this time I wanted to be sure everybody reads the VV column so I placed it up front where it couldn't be missed.

II. CHANGE OF ADDRESS: It is surprising how much mail comes back marked "box closed" or "moved, left no address". If you don't want to leave a forwarding address then notify us of the new address or tell us to hold up till one is obtained. It's a waste of postage and work to have things returned. At the same time when you do give us a change of address please give us the old one too and under the name you used. You'd be surprised that amount of detective work we have to do sometimes to figure out what to do with a letter giving a new street or box number and signed just Diana, Barbara, or Jean. We have about a dozen each of these femme names. Also you are not the only one with your last name probably and some just give a first initial so we have to be sure who is changing their address. You can save us work and you, delay, by giving us the whole story and not expecting us to be psychic.
