MAIL STILL UP INSPITE OF BAD WEATHER Despite the serious weather
in many parts of the country, our mail is holding up rather well.
As a matter of fact, the weekly mail count as of February 10th was
the best weekly figure since May of 1977. Apparently those areas
of the nation not affected by heavy snows are helping to keep the
mail picture quite strong. Currently we are receiving heavy responses
to Mr. Ted Armstrong's co-worker letter of January 30th. After only
ten days, the co-worker response reached 16% and member response
reached 30%. These percentages are very close to the normal average
co-worker response after a period of 30 days! It's certainly en
couraging to see such an early enthusiastic response to Mr. Armstrong's
letter!
Many of those responding to the letter have been very pleased and
excited about the return to 3

0 minute daily radio programming. Num
erous individuals have stated their hope that we will be able to go
on the air in their area soon.

NEW NEWSSTAND OUTLETS We are happy to report that P.T. Newsstand
distribution has begun in Burbank Airport and in the departure area
of Honolulu Airport. I mentioned in a recent Pastor's Report that
we were planning to begin distribution through "Dobb's House" air
port outlets in Austin, TX, San Antonio, TX, and Charlotte, N.C.,
during the month of February. Those outlets are now in operation,
and we are planning to add three more Dobb's House outlets during
the next month or so. Several more church areas have called in
during the past few weeks and asked about beginning newsstand dis
tributions. We encourage any church areas not yet involved to
contact us via the WATS line.
--Mark Armstrong, Di�ector of Newsstands
INTERNATIONAL NEWS To update you on the Canadian phase of the Work,
material from January'3 "Monthly Comments" put out by the Vancouver
office is included here.
--Leslie L. McCullough
1978 starts off with a record-setting month. The semiannual
letter sent to Co-Workers and regular PT subscribers has
gathered a most favorable response. The number of booklet
responses hasn't been spectacular but the letter carried a P.S.
mentioning the Church's representatives across Canada and
invited a request for a personal visit -- they're still coming
in. As of this writing, over 500 requests for a visit by a
minister -- more than� last year totally.
Another very encouraging aspect of this early part of the year
--the accumulative aspect of our winter ad campaign has really
picked up momentum. Over 11,000 new persons have been added
