RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN EDITORIAL SERVICES Hello again from hot ol'
Pasadena. You'd think after 10 years in this country I'd have gotten
used to the heat, but I'm still complaining about it.
Received a call from Mr. Herbert Armstrong Sunday morning during which
he instructed me to rerun the series on healing in the GOOD NEWS.
There will be four articles in all. The third is written and ready
to go. Mr. Armstrong is planning on completing the fourth on his trip
(which is coming up in a week) or shortly thereafter. Once the healing
series has been run in four consecutive issues of the GN, I have been
instructed to print it as a booklet.
We're currently working on the September number of the PT. Mr. Arm
strong's series will continue -- the second installment is tentatively
entitled, "Why Humans Were Put Here on the Earth." I'll be getting
that copy to him before his trip for final editing and approval. We
have a blockbuster of an article on Cambodia coming up in that issue
also. The tragedy of Cambodia rivals that of the holocaust of the
Jews during World War II. It's a frightening tale that needs to be
told -- it seems that hideous violence of every kind is increasing in
our world and so many politicians are fiddling while the world burns.
Plans also call for an update on the pygmy situation including an
exclusive interview with Jean Pierre Hallet (which will be run first
in the GOOD NEWS�
We have finally completed the budget for the fiscal year coming in at
approximately the same figure as last year in most areas. As you may
or may not know, the Editorial Services Depar
t
ment now includes: PT
Editorial; the News Bureau; PT booklets; the Good News Editorial
Dept.; Correspondence Course Editorial Dept.; graphics; photo files;
and Photo Services.
That's it for this time.

CO-WORKER NEWSLETTER BRINGS NEW RECORD RESPONSE The April "Co-worker
Newsletter" attained a new record high in literature responses by the
end of May! Subscriber Development advertised the new booklet, Coming
-- A New Age, and a record 18.7% of all co-workers responded.
This excellent response could primarily be attributed to the fact that
new literature was being offered, and that a flyer/card combination
was
used to make it easier for the readers to request the booklet.
Total Literature Response Still Up: In addition to the good news
about Coming -- A New Age, total literature requests for the entire
year have also remained high. By the end of May we had received
571,470 lit responses for the fiscal year, and 1,474,63 6 actual
pieces of literature were requested. This was a 29% increase over
last year's 443,854 responses. It is our hope that this interest in
our literature will continue through the remainder of the year, and
as more of the Work's spiritual booklets and articles are read, we
expect to see deeper growth and involvement from many subscribers.
