toward a BETTER, MORE ABUNDANT
LIFE is
a
most vital NEED in this
unhappy world.
We know the world is HUNGRY for
what we have to GIVE. Never was it so
vitally needed .
I
repeat - the over–
whelming success of our circulation
drive DEMONSTRATES that public hun–
ger and that need. But we have to slow
down temporariJy, for we can only GIVE
as
we receive, and as facilities make
possible. This temporary slow-down
is
like the cocking of the hammer of a gun.
The Work will shoot on ahead faster
than ever.
It
always has, after other
temporary slow-downs during the past
THIRTY· FIVE YEARS.
I
guess
I
have to end this
PersonaL
talk by saying:
"WE APOLOGIZE
-
BUT YOU SJIVAj\lfPED US.'"
o
Wfat-
our
READERS SAY
(Contin11ed from imide front cover)
The
PLAJN TRUTH, and was a Co–
Worker, but apathy seemed to sever
tbis.
If
it is possible
1
woutd like to
receive
Tbe
PLAIN TRUTH at the

What You Can Do
"I wish to commend you on the very
timely and wel1 written feature 'What
Y
ou Can Do' in the March issue. In
1969
our horne -.;vas hit, along with six
others in the neighborhood, our doors
were locked and the culprits had to kick
in a door to enter. We have added the
precautions you statcd and a few ideas
of our own, namely, we leave lights
buroing in the house day and night. 1
also leave a radio playing. Sine<: we live
in the country, we have also added a
70
potmd German shcpherd to our family."

" I
am a police officer in this city, and
1
read your magazine whcnever
I
can.
J
enjoy it very much and
I
find in it many
answers and solutions to situations
which
I
am confrontcd with.
I
hope
that more and more people will sub–
scribe to your magazine and
if
they do,
I'm surc that my job will become easier
because of it. No ooe could have picked
a
more proper name for your publica-
tion".

Look Dick! Look Jane!
"1
just linished reading thc articlc
'Look Dick! Look Jane! Look Look
Look.'
1
was c¡wte impressed with the
timcly and pointed opinion, handled so
well
by
Mr. Farrow.
I
approacbed it
from different viewpoints, that of ex–
school-tc:acher, parent of two daughters
both undcr
4
years old, and
a
person
who detests the wasted talent the tele–
vision sc¡uanders
on
the mediocre, sick
of mind and thc commercial ad man.
1 feel you hit the nail on the head ...
Somewherc: along the way, enjoyment
and free thinking died before matura–
tion.
r
congratulate you on an article
that desc-rves mass distribution."
