understanding and helpful in this regard. We do the best we can under a series of complicated situations and are really tired of the "where the hell is it" type of letter. Nobody will be cheated and issues will be printed as rapidly as conditions permit. That is a promise.

III. OTHER PUBLICATIONS: I have been delinquent on pub- lishing further TV Tales and longer novellettes not only from lack of time to get it done but because of being let down by several people who promised to do illustrations for them. Additionally there has been a dearth of satisfactory stories in the 15-16 page length necessary. There- fore I have decided to wait no longer to solve these problems. I shall, as soon as this issue is put to bed, set about printing more extra material. However, they will have standard covers except for the title — using our Chevalier insignia (as shown on the outside back cover of each issue of TVia) as the front design. The stories will be announced in TVia as they are completed so that you will have time to order yours as soon as you read that announcement. They will be of various lengths and therefore of various prices so watch for future announcements. The first of these will be titled, "A Case of Accidental Murder" and will be an exception in that the author provided a cover drawing. This story is over twice the length of the regular TV Tales and will be priced at $3. It will be marked as TV Tales Nos. 6 and 7 combined. It will be sent to all those presently paid for these two.

Following this item, will come others such as "From Martin to Marian" which is so long that rather than make one big book which would cost a lot to put together and would have to sell for at least $6, it will be put out in Parts I and II at $3 each which will be easier on your pocketbook. But all these items from now on are going to be done in 400 copies only on a first come, first served basis. I don't want to tie up more space and money in stock that lies around for years. So send in for them now if you are interested and we'll put you on the waiting list and mail them as soon as they are off the press which will be some time in June.

CLIPSHEETS: It is interesting (tho somewhat disappointing) that there seems to be less interest in scrapbooks and clippings than there used to be 10-20 years ago. The Clipsheet was introduced as a means of getting everybody's clippings to everybody else. But, possibly due to the greater understanding of ourselves, and the somewhat in- creased tolerance of society in many areas, the number of those sub- scribing to the Clipsheet has decreased markedly.
