From Mr. Frank Schnee
At the end of June, our office manager Mr. John
Karlson, my wife and I flew to Orr, Minnesota, to attend a conference for
YOU camp directors and regional directors who could be present. Though we
do not have a summer camp in.the German-speaking area, we do have a winter
camp each year in Austria, which will be expanded this year to include
campers from international areas. It was very valuable to see the set-up of
the camp at Orr, and to have the guidelines, as set by Mr. Armstrong,
spelled out for us. It was very good to more fully understand the overall

and patience shown to the campers. It's very encouraging to see that Mr.
Armstrong visits and personally speaks to each group of campers at Orr.

On July 7, a group of Imperial and Ambassador College students, led by
Imperial faculty member Mr. Mike Carter, stopped by our Bonn office for a
visit and tour of the facilities.
During July, we were also visited by Mr. Roger Lippross from Publishing
Services in Pasadena. Mr. Lippross came to see the new Bedford typesetting
system, which we have recently installed, before traveling to the Church
office in the Netherlands. Miss Peggy Warkentin, who has been training us
to use the new equipment, has been traveling back and forth between
England, Holland and Germany to help get the system operational.

who arrived from North Carolina. Mr. Spong will pastor the Bonn, Dussel-
