But, when afurther series of programs wasplanned for Sydney. it was foundtha t the sial bad been alreadybooked by another program. So thedecision was made thai in the fu­ture . when the telecast goes on astation it stays on 52 weeks a year .

Meetings in Pasade na last yearironed out many of the technicaltroubles in convening the videotapefor use in Australia . Already 26 newtelecasts are ready for airing, and it isexpec ted that a 52-week supply willbe finished shortly . A sufficientbacklog of programs exi sts inPasadena to keep th e Austral ianWork suppJied for weekly TV forseveral years. says Television Pro­duc tion Department personnel.

Mr . Wilson expects the weeklyTV broadcast to establish the Workin Australia in the same way that ithas in Canada and the United States .

Now that the capi ta l c ities have thetelecast, plans are being made to ex­pand into other po pulation ce nters .Program s in Newcastle, Rock hamp­ton and Too woomba are sche duled 10

begin in early April , and rimes areavailable or under negotiation in 10more areas .

16 Miles in Canoes

A grue ling but excit ing activitywas a 16-mile canoe trip . First thecampers recei ved basic instruc tionon how to handle a ca noe .

., Balancing yourself is the most dif ­ficult part, ' I according to Mr. van Bel­kum. " Yet, afte r a few hou rs ofshrieks and splashes as kids tumb ledout of their ca noes, they dev elopedsuffic ient profici ency to proceed onan extended o vernight trip ."

The camp supervisor talked of thetypica l 16-mile canoe trip:

" With reasonable weather the tripwould last five to six hours . Afterarriving at th eir destin ation thecanoeists would set up camp for thenight . There would be chatter abou twho managed the entire trip withoutcapsizing and who held the record forthe most cap sizes. That night a few

According to George Meeke r, se­nior pasto r and the first resident pas torin Milwaukee. jhe "contact with Mr.Armstrong is very beneficial . Localchurches can sometimes feel remo tefrom Pasadena . But seeing Mr.Annstrong's youthful zeal is an in­spiring reminder of our purpose ."

A Personal Leiter I;=~~

(Continued trom P-oe 1)and his wife and next to Beverl ySills . In the co urse of the evening.though wondering how the general(whose 84th birthda y was Saturday,Feb . 12) would respond to question sco nce rn ing hi s wart ime ca ree r . I ve n­tured to ask him a few questions con­cerning Gen. George Patton ' s re­moval from co mmand following theSicilian campaign, the famou s slap­ping incident and other experiences;(I was an impressionable teenagerduring those years, during WorldW ar II , and read dozens of books andhistori cal journals , plus biographicalstories - Winston Churchill ' smemoirs . Eisenhower ' s Crusade inEurope and others .)

In reference to the slapping inci­dent which resultedIn Gen . Patton ' sbeing "placed on ice" (according toGen . Bradle y) in Sicil y, Gen . Brad­ley told me , " Th at private probabl ydid more to win World War II thanany other private in the Army ."

Eager to Ta lk

I found the general not only will­ing but eager to talk about some ofhis wartime experiences, and hebegan relatin g sever al o f the six timesin which he esc aped either seriousinjury or sure death by only the slight­est margin .

I was particularly struck by thefirst event in which he described hisfee lings when the veh icle in which hewas riding drove over a German landmine . For some reason the mine didnot go off and 'the general's life wasspared. He told us , " I felt right thenthat God wanted me to remain alivefor the duration of this war and thatHe had some special task for me 10perform ."

Needless to say I was quite struckby his words and responded, H. amsure history has borne out that fact. ..

At any ra te. it was truly an experi ­ence to meet such a stellar group ofpersonalities aUin one evening. and I

was very pleased to be invited to asurprise birthday party for Gen .Bradley on the following Saturdaynight , only to have to send my re­grets, for we had alre ady scheduledthe Toronto campaig n for that Satur ­day night some weeks ea rlier .

Neve rthe less , we sen t the generalan album of co lor pic ture s o f hisevening at Ambas sador , includingpictures of Beverl y Sill s and of Ge n.Bradley and his wife chatting withmany of the guests .

We are very enthusiasticall y look ­ing forward to the full -scale accredi ­tatio n visit in the next few week s,

On the last preliminary visit 10 goov e r o ur se lf-s t ud y report . Dr .Robe rt Th omas (Brigha m YoungUniversity) and Dr . Kay Ander son(Western Association o f Schoo ls andCo lleges) gave us man y interestingpoint ers concerning the self -studyreport . and in SUbsequent exchangeso f correspondence and personal tele­phone call s lhe full -scale visit wasonce again reconfirmed for March .

As I was telling manyoftbe breth ­ren here in Toronto just this after ­noon , perhaps some of our brethrendo not realize the tremendous prog ­ress we have made at AmbassadorCollege in the last few years with theaddi tion of certain of the ver ythoroughly credentialed and ade­quat ely staffed majors in such fieldsas business, data processing. com ­puter science, mass communicationsand others.

For example. we are going tograduate in the neighborhood of 70seniors this co ming spring, abouthalf of whom will be busine ss ma­jors.

Our majo r in business is of thefinest quality , and. to illustra te. onlythe other day officia ls from the Bankof America were on cam pus recruit­ing some of our students for futurecareer opportun ities !

" It had snowed aU nighl the previ ­ous night, '. Bob Crisp said . " and thetemperature had dropped well be lowzero [minus 18 degrees Celsius] the

Mr. Barneu said he always sits in oneof the cars that were crushed by thebridge becau se they are reserv ed fornonsmokers .

SUddenly an 18-w heel tra ctor­tra iler rig boiled past them at about40 miles an hour on the glazed high ·way ,

" We were surprised he was at­temp ting to drive Ihat speed ." Bobsaid . " Just as he cleared us his trailerstarted to fIShtail. and we knew hewas in ttoub le : '

The driver foug ht for contral lo noavail . and within seconds the rig tOIl­pled over directly in front of the Fen­lon car.

Th e fo ur of them immed iate lyj umped from Iheir ca r and ran tohelp . They found the driver siltinginside the overt urned cab with his legout side the door and pinned benealhthe cah.

" He ev ide ntly tried to jump out ofthe cab when he sensed that it wasturning ove r: ' Bob said , "but heonly got one leg out. We late r foundout he had a double compound frac ­ture in the leg - broken from knecdow n. "

The frigid temperatu res co mbinedwith the stiff wind made for a chillfactor that sent the tempe ratu re . ine ffect. to nearly 40 degrees beloVo.'zero Fahren heit (minu s 40 deg reesCelsi us) .

" We had to act faSI," Bob said .The four tried to pull the trucker' s

it was too hard . They tried to bendback the door with a melal rod . butthe door wou ld not come free.

By this time the driver had lostfee ling in his leg and was beginning10 show signs of shock .

Finally one of them thought theymight be able to lift the cab with a carjack . Bob ran back to the car and gotthe jack .

Through lhe Other Door

While the othe r three steadied Ihejack and raised the cab, Bob pulledthe driver o ut from the top throu ghthe other door ,

The y took the injured dri ver backto their car whil e another truckerca lled the highway patcol on his Cili ­zens Band radio , The injured truc kerwas taken to a hospita l and at laslreport was in good condit ion .

In the final analysis Ihe trip fromBig Sa ndy (0 Columbus. which isnorma lly a 16·ho ur drive , ended uptaki ng them 34 hours because of thebad weather.

Efforts' Effects

Bob Cri sp was Ihe only one of thl:four to suffer any ad verse ef fect sfrom the heroic effons.

and Pete .Melende z as assistant s.The program 's purpose is to move

member s toward greater Chri stianmaturity and develop leadership inadministrative work in the Church .

The member-developme nt pro­gram includes activi ties in addition toreg ular Sabbath serv ices and Biblestudies . An essen tial aspect is specia lclasses called Princip les of Chr istianLiving to be cond ucted by a ministerfor small groups of interested me m­bers .

As the curriculum literature for thecourse puts it: ••Because the Churchitself is composed of varied interestgroups. the sermo ns (at Sabbath ser­vices) must be by necessity broad andcomprehensive. ' :

These special classes , therefor e,allow the ministe r to zer o in onspecific subjects on the individu aland his relationship with God, hisfamily, the Ch urch and the world .The format gives the minister thechance to address spec ific groups'(such as young peop le, married cou­pies , senior members) on their prob ­lems and interests, which may not beof general enough interest to bring upat Sabbath services or Bible stud ies .At the same time it gives the people achance to air questi ons they may nototherwise ask at stud ies.

A week after the conference , al­ready Principles of Chri stian Livingclas ses have been opened in threechurches : Metro-Manila, Camari nesSur and Ilo ilo .

Leadership Development

With only si~ mtniste rs pastoringsome 1,750 members disper sed inthis arch ipelago .of more than 7, ()(X)islands , the need for compet ent lead­ers to assist the ministry in adminis­tering ch urch activitie s was under­sco red at the conference .

A nationwid e program of leader­ship development has there fore beendesigned to give members with lead ­ership poten tial training to equ ipthem in ass isting the ministry inch urch administrat ion. Th is way,Mr . Adair says, it is hoped the min is­ters ca n have mor e time for thespiritual work of the Church .

Basic and advanced leadership­trainin g courses have been designedfor those two levels of leadership ap­titude .
