The Plain Truth
"lt
occurred to me the od1er day t.hat
I
must write to you and thank you and
your PLAIN TRUTH staff for its fine
magazines. Very bonesdy, when
1
just
began rcceiving it severa! years ago,
1
was horrified at me approach of its arti–
cles. They were too mucb
for
me. But as
time passed,
1
realized you people simply
were telling it like it is, notbing held
back."
Mrs.
C. C. C.,
Warner Springs, California
"I
admit that
1
do not agree with every
aspect, opinion or attitude you adopt, but
mat is precisely
why 1 med Tbe
PLAIN
TRUTH.
lf
I were in total agreement
wim every word you published, men
1
would not need you, would 1? ?? N o, when
1
come up against somcming with which
I
dis,¡gree,
then I musr retire ro d1ink;
'Where have
they
gone wrong, or wherc
bave
1
gonc wrong?'"

"Last evening
I
received me March
issue of
The
PLAIN TRUTH, and as
usual, promptly read it from cover to
cover.
I
always enjoy each issue, but
trumfuUy tbe word for mis one is
'powerful.'
"One of me most impo.rtant features
to me is mar you not only set out thc
facts and source, but you also offer and
suggest solutions to problems as they exist
for ead1 of us today. We can read any–
where aod everywhere about the prob–
lems, but rarely docs anyone veorure a
suggestion as to what can be done about
them."
Mrs. Ncil B.,
Deover, Colorado
"Please discontinue my subscription to
your magazine
The
PLA1N TRUTH as
1 strongly disagree wid1 many of your
conclusions on world matters and in
general find mem ramer pessimistic. I do
not believe mat d1e condi tion of d1e
world can be improved merely by a retu rn
to a simpler liJe. Technology has gor the
world in this mcss and technology is
required to get out of it. Thank you, how–
ever, for some intercstiog,
if
depressiog,
reading."
Joh n B. W.,
Auckland, Ncw Zcaland
"After reading severa! issues of your
magazine 1 felt a surge of hope build
wimin myself. I don't feel as tbough sorne
aumor has tried to force his opinions on
n1e."

"When I first read
The
PLAI N TRUTH
I was not impressed overmucb and skimmed
mrough me articles whose drarnatic use of
capital letters and italics irrita ted me. I'm
not sure whemer it is my attirude mar
READERS SAY
has cbanged or the magazine. Eid1er way,
r
am now vcry grateful
co
whocvcr pays
for my subscription for giving me me
opportuniry to benefil from your most
valuable magazine."

"Permissiveness"
"1
receody fioished rcading tbe artide
on 'permissiveness.' lt was ve ry enlighten–
ing. We are trying to raise our family in a
non-permissive, but loving and Christian,
home.
Y
et d1erc are times when we Iook
around us, when thcre is d1e artirude of
permissiveness in every corner of society,
and wonder if we are living in me wrong
times."
Mrs. Fred
C.,
Cincinnati, Ohio
"Thcre's not much difference between
d1e word 'freedom' and me word 'per–
missive.' l've been an active American
citizen by birth for the last 50 ycars and
!'ve lived and worked all over d1ese states
and I say if anything we' re nowhere near
permissive enough to be called 'free men.'
The criminal rypes operare with as much
vigor in the most oppressive societies as
in d1e most permissive."

Palmdale, California
"What Ever Happened to Father"

magazine and d1is is my third edition but
it was me bese article I've ever rcad. It
made me dlink as I was reading it. l t
made me want ro run right downsta irs
