violence and killings.
Now let me tell you what is being planned.
It is starting out with PERSONAL APPEARANCE TOURS, and a
dynamic, personal appearance "AMERICA LISTEN -- before it's too
late" campaign in two cities. This is already reaching THOUSANDS
of important people by PERSONAL CONTACT. It is preparatory to a
dynamic worldwide impact by radio, television, and in print -- to
reach 150 MILLION PEOPLE on every inhabited continent - in almost
EVERY NATION.
Already, in two personal appearances last week and this, my
son, Garner Ted Armstrong, has spoken before some 3,500 younger
business and professional men and teen-age leaders. Invitations
are now pouring in for him to speak before many organized groups
in different parts of the United States.
On Wednesday night of last week, May 20th, he gave the
principal address at the annual banquet of the Junior Achievement
League, a statewide group, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was attended
by approximately 1,000 young adults, teen-agers, local and state
businessmen and dignitaries. He spoke on this challenging theme
with an enthusiastic response.
Next morning, the Tulsa Daily World headlined, on the front
page: "BUILD, DON'T RUIN U.S., YOUTH TOLD." The story said "An
educator and radio personality told Tulsa Junior Achievement
members and sponsors Wednesday night that the earth is a space
capsule headed for potential disaster. Dr. Garner Ted Armstrong
of Los Angeles gave the warning at Junior Achievement's fourth
annual Future Unlimited banquet at the Assembly Center." Ted was
comparing the troubles of the Astronauts in the Apollo 13 capsule
with humanity's troubles in this world.
Last Saturday night, May 23, Garner Ted spoke before some
2,500 at Tallahassee, Florida. On the Local News front page of
Tallahassee Democrat Sunday morning, was a three-column picture
of Apollo 13 Astronaut Fred Haise standing beside Garner Ted,
presenting an Americanism award to Ft. Myers attorney Joseph
Dalessandro.
In the news story, it said, in part: "Guest speaker for the
evening was Garner Ted Armstrong, whose voice on The WORLD TOMORROW
broadcast is heard by millions daily. Armstrong drew an analogy
between the capsule of Astronaut Fred Haise and the capsule of
society in which Americans live. 'Our social capsule is just as
infinitely limited as Apollo 13,' he said." And so on. I won't
take space to reprint the whole story.
Present were businessmen, past and present senators, judges,
attorneys and at least 3 mayors.
Next will come the ~AMERICA LISTEN" campaign in Nashville,
Tennessee and Cincinnati, Ohio. We have booked the 9,000-seat
Municipal Auditorium in Nashville for the dynamic four-day
campaign starting Saturday night June 20. There will be four
