This Supreme Court decision points the way to even stronger safeguards of a free press, a freedom which is a basic necessity of the democratic way.

The decision also guarantees that your name is safe!

regrettable

After so many promises as to publication of "First Five" we find it hard to say again..."it will be a little whilo".

During January, the DOB was forced by pressures unexpected to rearrange printing methods and sources. Expenses became much greater as a result. Whether or not to publish "First Five" or to go on getting THE LADDER out, as good or better than ever was the simple choice. Funda cannot permit both at this time. We believe that continuation of THE LADDER is our primary purpose and "first Five" will keep for a while.

To those who have already paid a deposit or full price for this proposed publication, we can only say, "wait a little longer," or, if you choose, write us and we will refund your money.

"First Five" will be published. Our problem is that we can't say exactly when. Only money determines this factor and that is something that comes to us spasmodically and all too rarely. What funds we do have, we feel must go to continuation of THE LADDER for the time being rather than a re-issue.

It is only by your good wishes and your contributions that this organization exists...so please bear with us...spread the word and help us in any way that you can. Your letters, your manuscripts and your new subscriptions, as well as contributions, are the life of the publication end of the Daughters. Thank you all for what you have done and thank you for your patience with us.
