The new checkbook system, the Central Clearing Account, was designed to
reduce your paperwork load by utilizing NCR Copies right in the checkbook.
At first the system was very effective and unreported expense dropped to
less than $16,000 per month. However, our success was short-lived.
Ironically, unreported expenses have climbed steadily ever since.
The cause of the problem is most likely simple inattention to one of the
ministerial responsibilities. However, the situation must be reversed.
Those of you having the problem need to determine to get the simple paper
work done and mailed to Pasadena weekly, unless there is serious inter
ference with your time.
Please do what you can to correct what is a serious problem and strive
to keep the problem corrected during the corning months. Your cooperation
will be greatly appreciated.

PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE
Things are really getting back to normal now in the Publishing area. We
have over 200 printing jobs going through the production area at the
moment and have 10-15 new jobs coming in each day from the various areas
here in Pasadena. Our people are fully stretched trying to keep up with
the flow of work. We are all looking forward to some physical and spiri
tual rejuvenation over the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread.
The teamsters trucking strike obviously affects us dramatically here in
Publishing because of the movement of paper and the distribution of our
publications around the United States. We understand that many of the
independent trucking lines are not on strike as yet and we are not sure
how The Plain Truth newsstand distribution program will be affected.
We know, at the very least, there's going to be some considerable leng
thening in delivery time. Many of you will be receiving magazines much
later than normal, so be prepared for that. We are doing our best here
in Publishing to work around this problem and are trying to find alter
native trucking routes and companies. So please have patience with us in
this.
