PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE
Last week was a very busy week, one of the reasons being that we've
had a member of our printer's technical staff from Kentucky working
with us here in Pasadena. This man (Bob England) is actually paid by
the printer but his job is to look after our interests in Kentucky.
We had meetings and discussions with our production staff and he
toured the facilities. He went away completely amazed and very
impressed at the attitude of our people and the wonderful facilities
we have. He said he was impressed that we had never tried to get him
to join our church or donate to our cause. Apparently this has
happened with other church groups he worked with in the past.
For financial reasons we have been re-evaluationg our total publishing
programs and have made some recommendations which have yet to be
approv�d. As I mentioned last time, we were going to try to do the
same job with less money. During this financially difficult time,
I'm asking that all your PT newsstand coordinators not spend any
money locally for supplies and equipment, etc. if you expect us in
Pasadena to reimburse you -- we just want to keep expenses down to
a minimum for a few months. If you
can
raise money locally for your
needs like some of you have done before, that's fine, of course.

EDITORIAL UPDATE
Recent budget cuts have now made it necessary to cut back drastic
ally on the amount of color used in th PT. We have been able to
save a considerable amount of money by cutting back on the use of
color photos. This not only saves in the cost of the photos them
selves, but also in color separation costs. Additional cuts in
travel, services and personnel have enabled the Editorial Services
area to meet the requested budget reductions for 1979.
We do not anticipate any reduction in the quality of the content
of the PT-...;;;fand, after all, this is the main thing. It is the mess
age, not tlt?,.Yehicle that carries it, that is most important. --

The May PTlia been tentatively paginated and copy will be sent to
Tucson for Mr. Armstrong's approval this week. Layouts will follow.
We are still unable, as far as I know, to print the new healing
booklet or any of the current booklets now in need of reprinting.
Hopefully this will all change when the receivership is lifted.
