Page 35 has a 4 x 2 1/2 advertisement for "Big Brother & The Holding Company & Janis Joplin" for there upcoming appearance at Hunter College in New York City. (see image) This was to be Janis Joplin's last time playing with Big Brother.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
