elementary grade-school experience, and ministers, and myself, all
collaborating with nationally-famous artist Basil Wolverton, who is
in attendance at this conference. It will be written and
illustrated for children in their language, in the manner their
minds will grasp. This book--or series of books--will be made
available to ALL YOU PARENTS for YOUR children! I'm sure this will
be wonderful news to many of you! Work starts at once!
I wrote you last month about the unprecedented expansion
and fruit borne by this work last year. That forward march must
continue with increased momentum this year!
Last year The PLAIN TRUTH magazine was enlarged from 16 to
24 pages. It came out with a new cover, more illustrations, more
readable type. NOW IT IS TO BLOSSOM FORTH IN TWO COLORS instead of
black only, and then our next step will be the addition of four
more pages with a much heavier cover.
Last year we went on several new radio stations around the
world--especially the Australia Network, and the Voice of free
China. THIS year we MUST reach Spain, in the Spanish language,
from across the Strait of Gibraltar over Radio TANGIER. We must
put the program, in Spanish, on a large Network covering South
America and Central America. Already we are reaching the
continents of North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia--
but not yet South America. As I wrote before, Ted Armstrong is now
ready, and he speaks Spanish very fluently and without foreign
accent. We lacked sufficient funds for this last year. THESE
FUNDS MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE THIS YEAR!
Last year I had to write you that we were in danger of
losing the fabulous new property which J. L. Block & Associates
expected to donate to Ambassador College. They were not able to
raise all the money they had expected. But God did use you
Co-Workers to come to the rescue in time, and that very valuable
property WAS SAVED! Its actual value for college purposes is at
least from fifteen to twenty times the amount the J. L. Block
interests purchased it for at public auction. The grounds added to
our campus by this one building are about 650 feet long and 300
feet wide--and landscaped in a manner to equal anything at
Versailles! These new properties have more than doubled the size
of our outgrown campus. Once restored to the condition in which it
was some three or four years ago, added to our already
magnificently landscaped grounds, Ambassador College shall have
come into what is probably the most beautiful campus in all America
--perhaps in all the world! It's unbelievable--but true!
Yet a considerable amount of alterations and changes, much
of which is forced on us by the city building codes, must be done
at once before these fine new properties can be used by the
college. This will cost only a small fraction of the value of the
properties, or even their under-value purchase price--yet these
operations will run into several thousand dollars.
As we passed the middle of the month the receipt of funds
for the conduct of this great work began to take a sharp DROP!
Again we face an alarming situation, UNLESS YOU CO-WORKERS GET TO
