"I have al ready received threc copies of
your wondcrful magazine. lt presents prob–
lcms of the world today, 'straight from the
shouldcr,' but at thc same time,
it
offcrs
sorne
hope
too. In this day and age, 'hope'
to me is something very important."
Miss P. S.,

"One of my students at Van Grade
School imroduced me
tO
this
fine maga–
zine,
Tbe
PLAIN
TRUTH.
It
astounded
me thar this was, as
I
understand it, free.
J am a social studies teacher ar this grade
school and this magazine is just what
l
have bccn nccding
to
supplement my
textbook."
Barry F.,

"A fellow reader of
The
PLAlN TRUT!l
has just informed me that my artidc on
earthquakes origioaUy published in SCJ–
ENCE DJGEST is referred to in your
recent booklct
Earthquakes.
" I ncidentally, I find
The
PLAIN TRUTH
one uf thc most,
il
not the, fascinating
public-ations emcring my home. Since we
briefly referrcd to thc flaws in tbe theory
of evolution in our book,
Tbe Stranse
Wor/d of Anhmds ami Pets
(Cowles,
1970),
l have Eound your anides on this subjcct
of especial interest. Someday this scientific
fctish will be blown away by thc winds
of revclation and reason."
Vincent H. Gaddis,
Free-Lance Writer,
Escondido, California
"1
do think that your PLAIN TRUTH
magaúne can only be expressed witb onc
word, cxccllent. In being an adventurer in
knowledgc
1
have spent a lot of rnoncy for
books and magazincs and find
Tbe
PLAIN
TRUTJT is well abovc thc standard of thc
other rnagazines and sorne of the books I
purchascd for it is to-the-point, up-to-date
and it doesn't bcat around the bush."
D. T. M.,
Edgeworth, New Soutb Wales
(Australia)
"Your fine publication,
Tbe
PLAJN
TRUTH,
seems
ro hit tbe cxact spoc
sorne–
times, and fall flat other times. But -
when J reread tbem ac a later time, they
seem differcnt. What has changed? Cer–
tainly not the artide! Jt was me who
changed. Pcrhaps your encouraging your
readcrs to do tbis (rereadíng) would makc
your subjccr coverage more meaningful ro
the readcr."
George H. H.,
Calimesa, California
"Kindly enroll
me
in the subscribers
w
The
PLAfN
TRUTH.
A friend showed me
a copy and, I must say, l roared with
laughter with every page. Hardly a para–
gcaph weot by thar didn'r bave sorne
towering absurdícy in ir.''
S. L.,
Burbank, California
"I
have jusr finished reading my second
copy of
Tbe
PLAIN TRUTH for the third
READERS SAY
time!
I
conrains such excellenr artides and
pricclcss encouragement that
J
am quite
unable to put it down.
I
would therefore
like ro take this opportunity of offering
my
boundless thanks to al! those excellent
reportees and editors who compile the
magazine, and also to the 'voluntcer Co–
\Vorkers' who so nobly belp pay for it."
Gary

"Please kindly include me as one of tbe
subscribers of
The
PLAIN TRUTH maga–
zine.
I
have read through cwo copies of tbe
magazine and found out ir was thc maga–
zine mcant for me.
1
notice the magazine
is gaining much ground in my coumry.
Especially in this state.
1
cannot afford to
conrinue missing
the
articles it carrics."

Haig ht-Ashbury
"The arricle on Haight-Ashbury has got
to be tbe most slaoted, one-sided article I
have ever read. l 've nevcr beco to Haight–
Ashbury, but rhe gencralintions on 'hip–
pies' would secm tO be aimed at all
'hippies.'
"Things are changing, you know - not
all 'hippics' are 'scx-worshippers,' dirty,
drug-users, and hypocri tcs as Mr. Webb
states. You might consider me a 'hippie'
because
1
dress in 'hippie garb' and profess
!ove - bowever, l 'm
21,
a junior in college
(Central Michigan Universicy), and very
concerned about the problems in tbe
world."
Michel A. L.,
Mount Pleasant, Michigan
"Yes, the hippie senlemenr in Haighr–
Ashbury did fail. Jt became a cruel joke
on those seekiog a home of !ove and
mcaningfulness. Ilow well I remember
with a thrill of joy ancl brot11crhood when,
back in tbe summcr of
1967,
1
hcard Scott
McKenzie síng about San Francisco and
'flowcrs in your hair.'
lt
was a colorful
utopía thar fell, aod maybc you're right
in saying it was so bccause of human
nature. Something wcnt "rong, to many
peoplc's regret.
lt
all secmed fresh and
beautiful to tbe mind and soul of us wbo
are seekiog sometbing.''

Don M. S.,
Austin, Texas
"Your artide 'Dear Mom and Dad: I'rn
Coming Home' was terrific!
"Before I read tbat article
1
was ooe of
tbose peoplc who wantcd to be a hippie
and do all tbe tbings they do, and l'm only
12,
bur your article has changed my mind.
You bave really shown me what it is like to
be a bippie without being onc at al

Thanks
for probably saving my Ji fe!"
Liz P.,

"I am 12 ycars old, and last week I was
very destioed to run away. Bur I read your
