PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, January 16, 1981
Page 11
YOUTH 81 MAKES ITS DEBUT
This week marks another milestone in the history of the Church with the
publication of the first issue of the new magazine for our young people-
YOUTH 81.
The printing was done by a small, quality printer here in Pasadena, just
15 minutes from our offices. Wrapping and mailing is being done by our
own postal center.
Every minister worldwide will receive the first copy of YOUTH 81 along
with this Pastor General's Report. Remember that the magazine was
created for our youth--it belongs to them--it's dedicated to them. There
fore, please don't pass your advance copy around among the congregation.
We want the intended readers to enjoy that element of surprise generated
from receiving their own copy in their mailbox.
As this is the first edition, it will also be made available to every
head of household for this Collector's Edition only. We would appreciate
your reading the following YOUTH 81 circulation policy approved by Mr.
Armstrong to your congregation.
YOUTH Bi Circulation Policy Worldwide
YOUTH 81 is to be sent automatically to all children, ages 13 to 18, of
Church members. It is the responsibility of the parents to write to the
central office in their country or region to have their children of those
ages added to the mailing list. Birthdate should be specified.
When a youth becomes age 19, YOUTH 81 will cease to be sent automatically.
(A year's subscription to the PT will begin at this time.)
YOUTH 81 will be sent on a six-month renewal basis to anyone else who
requests it.

198 : A YEAR OF CONTINUED GROWTH
Here are some encouraging highlights of the Mail Processing Center's
activities for the year now past:
Mail Received
Almost 2.2 million pieces of mail were received in 1980--the highest total
in six years. The number of PLAIN TRUTH cards returned showed a 453% in
crease--from 30,000 in 1979 to 165,000 in 1980, Also, the November semi
annual letter brought in the second highest response for a semi-annual let
ter in the last 10 years!
Letter Trends
With the Work back on course and brethren understanding their role in the
Church, total support for God's apostle has been apparent from the mail.
Members and co-workers deeply appreciate Mr. Armstrong's seemingly tire
less efforts.
