As long as there remains the now-oxistont mutual respect

and friendly, competitive co-operation, I can not conceive of a situation more beneficial to the entire homophile movement.

-

We feel that the time has como for still another step in our growth especially since we are now the only nationwide organization that of working our programs to inelude the male homosexual. This does not mean membership, but it does moan offering them some of the same situations for group enjoyment and acceptance. Wo are ro-opening our public discussion groups, planning Gab 'n' Javas periodically to include the male homosexual, and are now increasing the social functions which they may attend.

As you have probably noticed, although our magazine has always worked to be one of interest to both men and women, we are now running a special "Masculino Viewpoint" section in which we more than ever welcome opinions from our male readers. This, along with our continued coverage of the other organizations' work and convention, will make for added information to all our homophile readers, as well as the professional readers.

Along the line of educating the homophile, we have also taken this literally and, as you know, started the Blanche M. Baker Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund is increasing constantly through donations from individuals, as well as from our chapters. We hope a growing number of people will see the benefit wo feel to be in this program and will contributo to its growth.

As a whole, we feel that the Daughters of Bilitis has stepped off onto another plateau and is rapidly moving ahead in its aims and goals in a manner which all who have had a part in it can be proud of.
