to this
transcendent potential , of which

1 found revealed the fact that the
very
foundation
of education to fit
one for happy and successful living
is being totally ignored. That foun–
dation is awareness of the purpose
of life, knowledge of what man is,
recognition of the true values as
opposed to the fal se, and knowledge
of the
WAY
which
ÍS
the

Of
every desired effect. That knowl–
edge is the dimension that is miss–
ing in today's education.
This new knowledge resulted in
a series of lectures in and nea r
Eugene, Oregon, in the summer
and autumn of 1933. Response was
spontaneous. Later, an invitation
followed to speak on radio station
KORE. Fran k Hill , the owne r , sug–
gested a weekly program expound–
ing this
MISSING OIMENSlON
on his
station. Thus, the first week in
1934, the
World Tomorrow
pro–
gram was born.
The
World Tomorrow
was
designed to assist and educate those
seeking positive answers to the
" unaskable" questions presented by
today's tumultuous world condi–
tions. l t presents timely and c ha l–
lenging commentary on chaot ic
inte rna tional relations and insight
into world affairs. The ana lyses and
answers to today's world conditions
offer a message of hope for those
who des perately seek a better
tomorrow.
In keeping our listene rs abreast
of importan t world events, the
World Tomorrow
television staff
members have, over the years, t rav–
eled far and wide to achieve on–
the-scene coverage. Firsthand in–
formation and opinions are gained
throug h pe rsonal , in-depth inter–
November/ December 1982
views with world leaders and those
making tomorrow's headlines.
One month after the
World Tomor–
row
broadcast was born,
The
Plain
Truth ,
on February 1, 1934, made its
most humble bow- an 8-page, mimeo–
graphed "magazine" printed by use of
a borrowed typewriter on a mimeo–
graph, the use of which was donated by
the local mimeograph sales agent.
T
was the compositor, Loma D. Arm–
strong ran the press- by hand- and
she kept the mailing list by pen and
ink.
Th at first edition consisted of
approximately 175 copies. The total
cost of the stencils, ink and paper was
probably less than $2.
From that almost infinitesimal
beginning the publishing operations
have greatly expanded. We are now
taking a new leap forward with this
issue. All English-language newsstand
and subscription editions that have
been 32 pages will expand to the full
48-page subscription editions regularly
received in the Uni ted States, Canada,
Australia and elsewhere. And begin–
ning January, 1983, those international
editions of
The
Plain
Truth
that have
appeared one month later than the
U.S. and Canadian editions will now
appear the same month worldwide. To
make possible this publishing of the
magazine the same month worldwide,
we have combined in sorne countries
the November and December issues.
Our next step, hopefully by the middle
of 1983, will be the appearance of full
48-page editions in Dutch, French,
German, ltalian and Spanish.
Meanwhile, our reader response is
continuing to grow. On our Pasadena
campus alone, 3,300,000 letters were
received in the past 12 months and
personally cared for by our staff. In
one single day more than 50,000 letters
were received. In the last 12 montbs
our postal center employees sent out
48,000,000 pieces of literature in the
United States alone. The scope of our
work makes us one of the largest mail–
ing operations on earth.
If
the reader has opportunity to
visit in person one of our campuses
or foreign offices, he will experi–
ence this act ivity in its true dimen–
s ions.
So remember , if you have an
opportunity to visit one of our caro–
puses or offices,
you are wel–
come.
