All we could do was slow down the completing of the
reconstruction work to a bare stand-still. The work was far from
finished, but enough had been done so we could open the college and
keep it operating. Since that time, we have whittled down this
bill by about another $2,000 or a little more, but we still owe
several thousand dollars on work already done, and we still lack
some $3,000 of completing the job.
Now two facts are VITALLY IMPORTANT! One, least
important of the two, the part of the work still unfinished is the
part that will make MOST of the difference in the final beautiful
APPEARANCE of the college. Now we might say that we would just
leave this unfinished, and keep the college operating under the
handicap of an unfinished building, sacrificing the beautiful
appearance it will have in order to save the money except for the
more important second point: UNLESS THIS WORK IS COMPLETED IN THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS, THE COLLEGE MAY BE FORCED TO CLOSE DOWN!
Now THAT point is of VITAL importance. Here is the
reason: They have permitted us to start the college in the
unfinished building, but we cannot legally CONTINUE the college
indefinitely UNLESS THE BUILDING IS PASSED ON BY THE CITY BUILDING
INSPECTORS AS CONFORMING TO THE LOCAL BUILDING CODES FOR SCHOOLS
AND COLLEGES! The building must be COMPLETED to pass inspection.
Otherwise the city may, at any moment, tell us we are operating
illegally, and close up this wonderful college.
It is JUST THAT SERIOUS AND IMPORTANT! There is NO TIME
TO LOSE!
Brethren, Co-Workers! Shall we have gone thru all we
have had to suffer thru, at this tremendous sacrifice these past
several months, have opened and started this fine college, only to
have it all STOPPED just when it is going ahead so nicely? That's
exactly what will happen, UNLESS OUR CO-WORKERS COME TO OUR AID
WITH ENOUGH MONEY TO FINISH THE JOB IN THE NEXT TWO OR THREE
WEEKS!!
We CAN'T let that happen!
Now about the all-important radio work. This college
reconstruction forced us to get behind with our two big radio
stations.
Remember, WE HAVE THE BEST, MOST LISTENED-TO-TIME, 8:PM,
EVERY NIGHT BUT ONE IN THE WEEK, ON THE MOST POWERFUL RADIO STATION
IN THIS HEMISPHERE, beside having the programs re-broadcast early
the following morning every day. The great super-power XEG is
heard in Florida, in North Carolina, Illinois, Kansas, and as far
west as the Rocky mountains. It is heard all over Canada.
MILLIONS hear the true Message on this great station. Also, on the
Pacific Coast over XERB.
The owner of these stations suddenly demanded that we
bring our account with these two great stations up to date
IMMEDIATELY, or GO OFF THE AIR!
