(Contimted from page 1)
these four names are still the top
four, the staff required to produce to–
day's modern worldwidc mass-circulation
magazine has become too large to
enumcratc herc - 73 namcs. This
includes 6 Associate Editors, several
Regional Editors around the world,
Contributing Editors, Research Staff,
Photographers stationed around the
world, a sizeable and compett:nt Art
Staff, Circulation Managers around thc
world. You'll find them listed on thc
inside front covcr.
And of course we do not list thc
hundreds of names of employees in our
three largc printing plants in Pasadena,
California, in Radlett, England, and
North Sydney, Australia, where this
magazine is printed and mailed out to
subscribcrs.
Today
The
PLAIN TRUTH makes nec–
essary the maintenance of offices all
around the world, sorne staffed with a
full -time personnel of up to
80
people.
And, in addition, we now publish a
NEW
magazine, edited b}' the Graduate
School of Theology of Ambassador
College, in thc field of Biblical under–
standing, called TOMORROW'S WORLO.
Less than a ycar old, its circulation al–

The
PLAIN TRUTH circulation of ten
years ago. All readers of
The
PLAIN
TRUTII who desire it are offered, free,

things most people havc always won–
dcrcd about, and never heard exp1ained.
It
opens up many things that cause read–
ers to say: "Well 1 never heard

But now WHAT of the new decade of
the 70's?
The
PLAIN TRUTH
This acceleration toward disintegra–
tion will continue! Constantly faster and
faster!
The emphasis is on a departure from
the true values - an increasingly wild

that boomerang with deadly evil results.
Most forecasters of the future see
things continuing "AS THEY ARE, ONLY

Back in 1934, when
The
PLAIN
i[t
TRUTH magazine was born, and the
WORLD TOMORROW program first
started on the air,
I
predicted the future
but somcwhat imminent union of the
