evening performances, plus a Sunday afternoon matinee. Students
from the Pasadena and Texas campuses of Ambassador College will
participate. A college band, selected from members of both bands,
and members of the Ambassador Chorale from both campuses will be
there. Also our college uniformed ushers.
This will be an inspiring and uplifting rapid-fire four-day
program that reaches out on a face-to-face, personal appearance
basis in which we take physically and bodily, a sizeable segment
of Ambassador College students that thousands in that area may
SEE, and EXPERIENCE some of the bubbling-over enthusiasm and
happiness that pervades our campuses. Garner Ted's talks will
be dynamic -- He will "tell it like it IS" -- showing the
shocking state of conditions today, making plain what CAN be
done to solve these problems, as well as what WILL BE DONE to
save humanity alive by the living God. After each stirring
message the students will mix with the audience, answering
questions about Ambassador College, and discussing popular
issues. Surveys of the Nashville and Cincinnati areas have
been made by mail and by hundreds of telephone interviews,
and they indicate a very active interest in this personal-
appearance "AMERICA LISTEN" campaign.
The Cincinnati campaign will commence Saturday night, July
4th.
But July 3rd and 4th will be two extremely busy days for
Garner Ted Armstrong. On July 3rd our Falcon Fan Jet plane will
leave Burbank airport (near Pasadena), with Mr. and Mrs. Red
Skelton, Mr. and Mrs. Art Linkletter of television fame, besides
some of our people, for Oklahoma City. On Friday evening, as part
of the regular news hour on WKY-TV, Garner Ted Armstrong will be
interviewed in his hotel or motel room by color TV. Presumedly
Red Skelton and Art Linkletter will be similarly interviewed.
Then on Saturday morning, Garner Ted is to give the invocation
at the dedication of the new 22-acre Stars and Stripes Memorial
Park, and the Dwight David Eisenhower Memorial within the Park.
This, of course, will be televised. On the afternoon of July 4th
station WKY-TV will air, live, on a network, a two-hour television
marathon, 3 to 5 p.m. Central time, as a patriotic 4th of July
show, an annual event. Last year three ministers -- a Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish rabbi -- each participated in the invocation.
This year Garner Ted alone is giving the invocation at the
beginning of the show. Of course Red Skelton, Art Linkletter and
others will then participate in the show.
But Ted will have to leave immediately after the invocation,
to fly in our Falcon Jet to Cincinnati where the "AMERICA LISTEN"
program has its first performance that evening.
Every TV station in Oklahoma will broadcast the "Stars and
Stripes" program live, and some 200 to 300 TV stations in from
40 to 50 states will also air it, some at a later time.
These events are all preparatory to the most INTENSIVE radio,
TV, and in-print campaign, WORLDWIDE, ever launched in the history
