French Language Areas Mr. Armstrong's telecast is now being aired on "Tele
Monte Carlo" at 5:15 p.m. every Sunday. The programs have just begun and
are subtitled in French as they are on TV-Luxembourg.
We have received a total of 1,178 responses from viewers of TV-Luxembourg
during the period of April to September of this year. During the month of
September alone, 237 viewers responded.
The radio program "Le Monde a Venir," with Mr. Apartian as speaker, has also
received significant responses. During the first nine months of this year
we received 2,510 letters. We estimate that if one listener in 1,000 writes
in, this would mean that a minimum of 2,500,000 people have already heard
the program this year.
In Canada, the French broadcast will now be aired on radio in New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia on the following stations:
CJVA (Caraquet-Gloucester)
Sundays at 10:15 a.m. (850) ; CJEM/CKMO (Edmunston-Madawaska) Sundays at
8:35 a.m. (570).
In the United States, 48% of La PURE VERITE subscribers have renewed their
subscriptions.
As of October, 6,794 1iterature request cards for THE
WONDERFUL WORLD TOMORROW and THE U.S. AND B.C. IN PROPHECY were received in
response to the offer in Mr. Armstrong's semiannual letter. This repre­
sents a response of 12.8%.
During the month of September, 10,703 pieces of literature were sent out
from Pasadena--61% to regular subscribers, 34% to new subscribers, four
percent to coworkers, and one percent to donors.
We are currently in the process of sending Mr. Armstrong's letter offering
