PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MARCH 27, 1981
Page 5
News From Australia February was a month of excitement for God's Church
in Australia as the tempo of the Work increased dramatically.
Final plans were laid this month for the commencement of television and
radio broadcasting of Mr. Armstrong's latest programmes. Contracts have
now been finalized with fifteen television and twenty-two radio stations
throughout Australia to begin broadcasting next month.
Our newsstand programme was initiated with 15,000 copies of the newsstand
edition of The PLAIN TRUTH distributed through outlets in Sydney, Mel
bourne and Adelaide. By the end of February we had received a 1.9%
response.
Plans for March included adding outlets in Brisbane, Bendigo, Hobart and
Perth and increasing the number of copies distributed to 25,000, and to
50,000 in April.
We received 14,100 letters this month and mailed out 28,000 booklets and
articles to interested readers of The PLAIN TRUTH. In addition, 12,000
copies of Mr. Armstrong's book, THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY,
were sent out.

Mail income for February was an encouraging 29.9% increase over the same
month last year, and our year-to-date income is 17.7% ahead of 1980.
