end of the year if you will all get out your cameras and put on your newest dresses and send me the results. Only this time, PLEASE! FPing is fun so how about some smiles like you were enjoying the whole thing? So many of the pics in the last photo issue were so serious.

III. TV TALES Nos. 8 and 9: By the time you read this the next double TV Tales will be out - Nos. 8 and 9 together. It is entitled "TV FOR VICTORY” or “ALEXANDRA AND HER BASKET- BELLES". It is a story of the plans of a group of high school boys to raise money for their class by making up a girls' basketball team to play the GGs. Not just a gym suit and rag mop type of get up, but real, authentic girl type girls that required considerable practice beforehand (natch). It is a good story. Nos. 6 and 7 and now 8 and 9 are each more than twice as long as the usual 14-16 page TV Tales. For this reason they sell for twice as much or $3. They were printed double because I had an obligation to a number of you who had ordered and paid for TV Tales quite some time ago and I feel very awkward when I owe something to you and can't provide it. This way I can fill these orders and also give you more for your money.

“MARTIN TO MARIAN': The long two part novel men- tioned previously did not get typed up completely soon enough to get set up for the printer before I left on my trip, but it will be all typed when I return and will go to the printer as soon thereafter as possible. You may continue to send in your advance reservations if you wish and we will hold the money and record until they are ready. It will be in two volumes, I and II, and will be priced at $3 each. I am now print- ing these extra Tales and Novels in only 400 copies in order not to get stuck with more tied up capital, so it will be first come first served. Better to send in the $6 and wait a month or so than to wait until it is announced as finished in No. 64 or 65 and then find it gone. Remember, there are commercial outlets to serve too. A word to the wise . . . !

INTEREST SURVEY: Many years ago back in about No. 4 I think - I made a survey of the relative interest readers had in the various types of material appearing in TVia. I have adhered to the results of that survey ever since, but time moves on and people and circumstances change, etc. So I would like to find out if I am serving the interests of the majority of TVia readers. To do so I would like to ask that with your next communication to Chevalier that you write (on a separate piece of paper so they can be saved up to be counted) the order of your interest in these departments fiction, true stories, histories, pictures, instructional articles, editorials (think pieces),
