PLAIN TRUTH UPDATE This past Thursday I had a very long and enjoy
able conversation with Mr. Herbert Armstrong on the telephone. We
discussed the PT in detail and I thanked him for his support concern
ing the controversial cover on the April issue. He said that the
issue should do well on the newsstands and that we should cover the
subject of sex in the P'I' every once-in-a-while. I suggested that he
was the best person to write. on that subject since he had written "the
book" on it and had taught Principles of Living for so many years at
the college. He.agreed.
Mr. Armstrong then launched into a long explanation of some of the
things he wants to get into the PT in future issues. He was very
happy that we are continuing to use some of his past material and
wants to go over some of it to update it. I'll be sending him some
of the specific material he requested right away.
He asked

He said that his blood pressure is vastly improved and his
doing well. He did mention that he needs to get up and walk

After checking with Mr. Ted Armstrong's office, we decided to go
ahead with the regular cover of the PT on those 380,000 copies to be
printed in England after all. The reason being that the cover signa

130,000 dollars and much scheduling grief to scrap it at that point.

We are combining the June/July issues and the September/October issues
O
this year due to continuing budget restraints. This time we will
print a band across the cover showing that it is a combined issue so
that people will not become confused thinking they have missed an
issue. We hope that one of these years we'll be abl� to get back to
the regular 12 issues per year since the 10-issue policy doesn't
help our mailing list any.
Lesson 12 of the correspondence course should be all but complete by
now and ready to go to press. Of course, it will take 4-6 weeks to
get it in print once it reaches the pre-press area. But at last it
is done!
That's it for this time.

INTERNATIONAL DIVISION TRANSFERS (Editor's Note: Due to an editorial
oversight, the following from Mr. McCullough, which was scheduled for
the last Pastor's Report, did not appear in that issue. Our apologies
to Mr. McCullough and to our readers.)
Greetings once again from the "foreigners!" Time rushes by so fast
that the need for one of these reports seems to be continually present.
Most of the areas around the world have been sailing along without
too much unusual activity to report. But for this issue, we do have
some very exciting things to report to you.
I have just returned from a short, but long trip. It was short in
terms of duration--only two weeks, but long in terms of distance--
