for more communication between headquarters and those involved in the
newsstand program was also expressed at each site. We are hoping to
start up some kind of regular newsletter to breach the feedback gap.
It was a great opportunity for representatives to exchange ideas and
express their thoughts to headquarters. All present felt they gained
a great deal from the contact with others performing the same job
nationwide. The feedback was also much appreciated here at head
quarters and many positive steps are planned for the months ahead.
We'll be getting back to you on this later. Thanks for your dedicated
enthusiasm.

GOOD NEWS/WORLDWIDE NEWS UPDATE As announced by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong
in a co-worker letter dated October 16, 1978, The Good News will soon be
changed into a full-color magazine once again and the tabloid newspaper
will continue publication under the name The Worldwide News. The Good
News staff has already enthusiastically begun work on the first two
issues of The Good News magazine and should begin publication with the
January 1979 issue.
I have just had a long telephone conversation with Mr. Armstrong regard
ing its editorial and graphic content. Mr. Armstrong explained to me
that he wants The Good News to be devoted to biblical and spiritual
articles to feed the membership. He emphasized that he wants The Good
News to be sent to all members and co-workers. He said if the co-workers
are supportive of the Work and have their hearts in the Work they should
also receive The Good News.
The Worldwide News will resume with its emphasis on news of the Work and
its leaders throughout the world, as well as announcements of personal
news, features on interesting members and additional articles of a
spiritual nature.
Mr. Armstrong especially requested that The Worldwide News be sent free
of charge and that it be sent automatically to all members or heads of
households. Since it is a member publication it will not be sent auto
matically to co-workers.
We welcome your comments and look forward to serving you with continued
news and encouragement through the pages of The Good News and Worldwide
News. We also solicit your prayers that we can make these publications
a success and helpful to all our members.
NOTE: We want to thank all the festival coordinators who responded so
quickly to our request for information pertaining to the individual
Feast sites. This made it possible for us to give a complete and
interesting picture of the 1978 Feast of Tabernacles.
