What the hell happened? 1!!! This issue was supposed to be mailed out on May ist but due to the damn New York Transit strike in April, I couldn't get into the Big Apple to bring the issues to cur printer. I also had a problem with our computerized mailing list. And finally, I didn't want to mail out the issues until I had all the details about our convention . The strike is over and the issues went to our printer on June 13th. Cur computer has been fixed. The issues will be mailed out on July 1st. Complete ‘TAP convention details can be found on the back of TAP Classified Ad Sheet #4 which was included with this mailing. Twas going to raise our sub rates effective with this issue, but I have decided to freeze all TAP prices at their current level and hope that all our subscribers will show their real appreciation by getting their friends to sub. TAP is in deep financial trouble and only YOU can help us out of our financial hole. We need your sub renewals, orders for the TAP goodies that we list in every issue, and your support for this year's ‘TAP convention.

In states like California, where Telecredit has a limit, the way to rack up a huge amount of NSP checks is this: always make purchases of over six hundred dollars. Telecredit will not insure a check over six hundred dollars; however, for a SO¢ fee to the merchant member, they will verify the authenticity of your driver's license, and the mer- chant may b2 willing to part with the material. Since Telecredit did not insure the check, only ver- ified it, there is still the original six hundred dollar credit limit left. What this moans is that you ean write as many $600 and over checks during the shopping period Wednesday through Sunday. Sony Trinitron TV sets, the top of the line sets with remote control, cost about $635 with tax and make excellent items to purchase. Remember to look on the.door of the store to see if they display the little blue and white Telecredit welcome check sign -- your check is welcome here. And while you are at it, buy all the neat little things that you always wanted but could never afford: jewelry, clothing, stereo, and whatever else your acquisitive nature demands. While waiting for the personalized, permanent checks to come in, it ie expedient to lesk around for stores to buy at. WARNING: Heed this well. After you have de- posited the out-of-state checks to sweeten up the account, you may have over a grand on deposit. Do not go back to the bank and try to make a withdrawal. The bank will not give you the money, and if you have already started writing checks against deposit, they may want to detain you ...... or worse. Also, it is not recommended using your own car when out on the spending spree. Some merchants, especially grocery stores and department stores (when picking up the color TV's at the service enterance), will watch you when you leave and write down your iiconse plate number, Pent a car if possible. Because many rental agencies will want a credit card before renting out a car, one may have to put a large cash deposit up, se prepare for it. As previously mentioned, leave no links to your real identity. The slightest thread may be enough for the investigators to pick up on. 80 extra careful using addresses and phone nunbers that wero ‘on any applications, making sure that no one at these places knows who you are or where to find you. If references are needed on some applications, use out of state references of people who do not know you -- doctors, lawyers, and priest know so many people that they can't remember all of them.

All the books one could ever want can be obtained from the Book Clubs . . . FREE! Here is the better-way-scom-it-yourself method: 1) Obtain some frecbie applications (Book Club Membership Applications), preferably the ones that are prestamped by the Book Clubs. ‘These can be obtained in quantity from magazines in one's local library, from one's own magazines, and in lobbies of hotels and in waiting rooms. Tear out the applications, fill in the selection numbers, and later, at one's leisure, fill in the rest of the blanks on the cards. 2) A suitable alias name should be used to join the Book Clubs and to order other freebies. ‘The alias name should be typed on a picce of paper and scotch-taped te one's mailbox, notifying the post- man where to deliver all the boxes of books that are going to come in. 3) It is useful to keep a list of all freebie packages sent for and received. Some clubs frown upon being sent two applications by the same per- son, and it is easy to make this mistake when send- ing’ out dozens and dozens of freebie applications. By making a checkmark on the list as each package comes in, outstanding packages are easily kept track of. 4) When all the packages have come in, one can take the alias name off his mailbox. A mail for- warding card for the alias can be sent to the Post Office, stating some distant forwarding address, and all the dunning letters from the Book Clubs will be automatically sent away instead of clutter- ing up the mailbox. Qne's own address is a convenient place to receive the books; however, one might want to get the books sent to a mail receiving service. A mail address can be located thru the Yellow Pages under “Mail or “Telephone Answering Service." Frequently, one will find that a Book Club offers only books that he has no interest in; order them anyway and give them to a friend, donate them to the jail library or sell them to a used book dealer for extra cash Also, remember to take advantage of the Record Clubs, Tape Clubs, and other "bill-me-laters -- Boobala Bumpkinski -- Big Neighbor Ceiling his fate _isustening 7 WICHITA, Raa.
