parents have already filled out a Youth Information card with all their
children's names and ages, the 5-year-olds will be automatically added to
the mailing list. But if they have not filled out the card, and they
have a 5-year-old, they should fill out the cards and the cards should be
sent in as soon as possible.

MAIL PROCESSING UPDATE
WATS SUMMER RECORDS; SPECIFY DONATIONS CLEARLY;
YOUTH SEEKING HELP; CO-WORKER NUMBER PASSES 70,000
WATS Summer Records The "World Tomorrow" program has drawn more than
269,000 calls since the beginning of summer.
This is a 62 percent
increase over our call volume for the same period in 1985.
Surprisingly, eight of the summer telecasts this year have pulled more
than 20,000 calls.
In all of 1985, only five programs exceeded the
20,000 mark.
Response to summer telecast reruns is averaging 75 percent of their
original airing. In the case of Dr. Albert's program, "The Secret of the
Buman Mind," the number of calls which came in from the second airing
exceeded the first by 688. (The �erun drew 19,044 calls.)
The year-to-date TV response continues to be 100 percent above 1985.
Specify Donations Clearly We are continuing to receive from members a
number of donations that are not clearly marked for the intended fund.
Would you please ask members to specify how they wish their checks and
money orders to be broken down? Remember there are a number of funds to
which members may donate.
Brethren should be especially careful that in their third tithe year they
note how much of their contribution is for that fund. This information
should be included each time they send in their tithes and offerings.
Members can assist us greatly by giving a clear breakdown of categories
on their checks or on a separate piece of paper.
