I. CHRISTMAS CARD THANKS:This is the only way I have of thanking the large number of you who sent me so many lovely cards. They graced my mantlepiece all during the Xmas season. I trust you will all realize that my greetings come to you with each issue of TVia and that there just isn't time to go through the card thing with all of you... Particularly when my second PR trip took me away all during December. But I do want you all to know that your thoughts of me at that season were appreciated. It's really heartwarming to know that I have so many friends scattered so far and wide not only here but in other countries. Thank you all again.

II. THE END OF TEN LONG YEARS: With this issue of TVia . No. 60 we close out ten years of publication . . . a feat that I would never have believed possible in 1960. The next issue No. 61 will be the first in our second decade. It will therefore be changed in several ways. To begin with I'm trying to work out a new cover design, something a bit more modern and not so staid as those from No. 50 to 60. I suppose as usual there will be those that love it and those who will disapprove but it will be more in the spirit of the "do your own thing" times. Not psychodelic but a little different. Although it was nice when we had Cover Girls it was just too much hassle selecting them, getting the pics and stories submitted in time to make the issue and trying not to hurt the feelings of some who wanted "in" but whom I didn't think would make the best public image. So we will continue to have our Leading Lady with a frontispiece and I hope more of you will submit pics and stories for this feature.

Another thing that I am going to have to change in the future is any idea of indicating a month of issue. For example, this issue is marked
