From the Canadian Office
March was highlighted by a special visit to
Vancouver by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. A number of ministers and their
wives, including those who were in for the regional Y.O.U. weekend, were at
the airport to greet him. Everyone was very excited at the opportunity of
having him in the area for the weekend.
On the Sabbath, almost 1400
gathered at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to hear Mr. Armstrong speak. After
services he spoke to the ministers before leaving for the airport.
March saw Regional Director Colin Adair make the decision to shift the
printing of The PLAIN TRUTH from Lawson Graphics to Southam Murray of
Toronto. Apart from the financial considerations, Southam has other advan
tages to offer us. They are working very closely with us as we continue to
pursue second class mailing privileges. By utilizing their mailing pro
gram, and in this case their computer also, we have been able to demonstrate
to the post office that if granted second class mailing, we can prepare our
mailing list in compliance with their latest regulations. This was a re
quirement they stipulated we must conform to.
We had contemplated purchasing this mailing program
over
six months ago,
but at the time it was written for a Univac computer and would have been
difficult to use on our IBM. Any ideas of purchasing it were put on the
backshelf and it was deemed better to write our own mailing program. How
ever, in the intervening period Southam had changed to IBM and had re
written the program for the IBM computer. The management in Pasadena now
feel they can work with the program, and Southam, instead of selling us the
program, has given it to us. Once fully operational, we will be able to
utilize it on some of our other mailings, i.e. The GOOD NEWS, semiannual
letters and any other mailing of over 10,000 pieces.
