III. PICTURE ISSUE: I would like to publish a picture issue, a sort of directory of all of our readers, particularly those belonging to FPE. Please send in 1 but not more than 2 good, clear, contrasty, shots showing you at your best. Write your name, femmename and code number, if you have one, on the back of the picture and also say “1969” or “for the album" so I'll know that is what you intend it for. Otherwise I will go thru old previously published pics which may be several years old in my files and may have been several years old in yours when they were sent. I'm sure you'd like to make the best impression so send the best pic. Black and whites are best but don't send one while wearing a dark dress sitting on a dark davenport or against a dark wall - you'll just fade into it and your pretty dress won't even be seen. Color shots can be used but they don't reproduce as well. Particularly avoid pics that were over exposed slightly as they will have a reddish tone. Red becomes black in the camera and an unclear shot in the reproduction. Let's have these as soon as you can as I'd like to do the album in place of the issue that you will be expecting while I am in Europe this fall.

“SEEK A SISTER” SERVICE For F.P.E. Members

Every now and again when processing a new FPE application I recognize that the new applicant is near another member but in an area where there is not presently an FPE chapter. I think to myself that each would like to know that there is another near. Although the Person to Person ad section is available not many make use of it and sometimes the person written to is not even polite enough to reply. So what to do? If you want to meet a sister relatively nearby write a sort of open letter just addressed to "Dear FPE Sister;" tell her what you want to about yourself and that you are using the "Seek a Sister Service" of TVia. Stamp an envelope, put in the letter, leave it unsealed, include the $1.00 forwarding fee and send it to CONTACT. You can give your own name and address if you wish or you can ask the other sister to reply via CONTACT but be sure to give your FPE Code No. We will forward it to the nearest FPE sister and the rest is up to her. If you receive such a request for a friend and she wishes you to reply thru CONTACT please have the courtesy to reply even if you don't wish to continue the correspondence or meet. You owe that much cooperation. Replies thru CONTACT are to be handled
