Dear Inner Family of Co-Workers:
Another college year is beginning -- the 26th here on the
Pasadena campus. The new Freshman class is taking entrance exams
today and tomorrow.
Things have certainly happened this summer. The new DAILY
television programs have been going out on the air. When we first
discussed the possibility of DAILY TV two questions loomed: Could
Garner Ted Armstrong keep up the ordeal -- would it be humanly
POSSIBLE -- to produce a full half-hour television program SIX
TIMES A WEEK? It had never been done before, so far as I know.
And, could we induce TV stations to open up a time-slot, Monday
through Friday, same time every day? A different time for the
Sunday programs would be O.K. -- perhaps desirable. But it was
necessary that the weekday programs be aired at the same time every
day.
But we were able to START OUT with more than TWENTY stations
-- including some of the very most powerful in large population
markets -- and more and more TV stations opening daily time as we
go along.
And Garner Ted Armstrong already has produced 76 -- read it
again -- SEVENTY-SIX new DAILY television programs! He has
produced MORE than six half-hour programs a week, getting a backlog
ahead for the annual fall festival, when he will be away, and for
the PERSONAL APPEARANCE campaigns, such as the one just concluded
at Calgary, Alberta, in Canada.
So, the big super-powered THREE-POINT CAMPAIGN is WELL UNDER
WAY!
I had the most profitable round-the-world trip so far this
summer, with important meetings with Japan's new Prime Minister,
Kakuei Tanaka, the outgoing Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, Prince
and Princess Mikasa (he is the brother of Emperor Hirohito), and
Dr. and Mrs. Ohama, newly named officially the FIRST PRIVATE
CITIZENS of Japan. Dr. Ohama for some time has been the recognized
number one educator of Japan. At Hong Kong we arranged for the
new custom-loomed carpeting for the new auditorium -- (the house
for God) on the Pasadena campus. This carpeting will be
exquisitely beautiful, in the bright and beautiful colors God
Himself chose for His Tabernacle, and for His Temple -- gold, and
