Dear Co-Worker in the
MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON EARTH:
Last month I wrote you the wonderful announcement of opening
the Work in Japan -- with the tentative date of July 1st. Now
I have even BIGGER NEWS!
Whenever my son Garner Ted or I happen to see some of our
Co-Workers personally, always the question is: "WHEN am I going
to be able to see the TELEVISION program in MY area?" Important
meetings were held in Washington, D.C., last week with top
officials of three of the great national television networks. Now
talks are definitely on the way toward putting the program on the
network.
I have to tell you that there are certain problems that have
to be worked out before one of the big networks will air the
program. I am hopeful that within two or three months we will be
able to solve the problems. I can say now that the very top
officials do LIKE the program. They have been much impressed with
the highly professional quality -- the photography, the intense
interest of the subject matter; they simply can't understand how we
could produce a program ourselves of such network quality. I can
tell you, too, that television executives regard Garner Ted
Armstrong as one of the most outstanding television personalities
in the country.
In order to be able to expand the program this year, it is
necessary to commence immediately construction of the new Radio-
T.V. facility -- which must be a building much larger than the
temporary quarters we have had to work in. Even in our present
cramped quarters, visitors are surprised to see that our television
studios are impressive -- and with finest color cameras and
equipment. But it is not enough, and we require more complete
equipment and two or three times the space if we expand. This new
building will not need to be high-cost-type construction, but it
must be adequate and modern to do the job. Many of our Co-Workers
are sending SPECIAL offerings, over and above tithes and regular
offerings they have been contributing to the Work, for the special
Building Fund, to speed this vitally-needed new building on its
way.
