Dunn very clearly refers to arc thL import;i.nt unpublished lines of !:er ph 11, which have NEVER been published. I personally wa.tched every trial race anJ final contest of this classic. I also collected every available picture taken d11ring the building and launching of Ranger ;ind in none of them was the photographer allowed to stand in a position that disclosed her true lines. That satisfaction I had upon viewing her ;1t close range after the races as she w:1s being dry-docked at the Herreschoff Yards at Bristol, R. I., however th:1t view does not constitute a yardstick for duplication by a long shot. OF AM. OFFICE Providence 5, R. I. Managi11g Editor Santos, Associate Editor ~i~s Jeanne A. Santos, How·ird I.

S. and We have received numerous letters criticising our supposed neglect to publish pictures sent to us. We would like to publish ALL of them, even tho many are only of personal value, because we feel that every member is a stockholder in this enterprise not solely because of his subscription, but because he is a member of the MYRAA and should not be discriminated against. However. we wish to call the attention of our critics to the fa.ct that illustrations are our most expensive item and that the ma.iority of the illustrations that have appeared since last March have not come from the working funds but have to a large degree been duplications, and in the last two issues have been either p;i.id by individ, uals or from the slim pocket of the Editor. W c will gladly publish any and all pictures that are reproducible for their cost-50 cents per square inch. $2.00 per column cut same as that of “Helen J” on our cover. After publication we will mail you the cut for your own personal use. In this way we will ,grant our stockholders the right of hav, ing all their favorite pictures published and avoid being called discriminatory. Send them in with check or money order, designating size you want, with caption or story. We reserve the right to edit material. Illustrations used on cover are selected by the staff and are the property of the Magazine. They will be loaned to clubs for propaganda on request.
