90% Increase in Altus Church

Membership A Elder H. B. Petry, speaker for the PEACE FOR LIFE CRU- SADE, held a successful series of meetings in the Altus church during the month of September. Elder Christy Taylor, district pastor, said that 2,000 brochures requesting Daniel and Revela- tion were handed out by the church members a month before the crusade. Elders Petry and Taylor spent two weeks of pre- crusade visiting to cultivate many of the interests. The Lord blessed in a wonderful way as 23 new members joined the 25-member church.

MORE NEW AREAS OPENED. Oklahoma recently organized companies in Weatherford (10 members), Yukon (35 members), and Kingston (12 members). Three new Texas churches were organized during September. A church was organized at La Grange on September 15 with 25 charter members, as a result of the work of the Jerry Lee Hoover family who moved into the area in January, 1978. On Wednesday night, September 26, a Spanish church was organized in Austin with approximately 30 attending. Austin has a large Spanish constituency. Watch this church grow! On September 29 the Jackson church, located in the Lake of the Pines district of East Texas, was organized with 38 charter members. This new congregation has already built a sanctuary, which will be dedicated in January, 1980. The Southwest is taking seriously the challenge to open unentered areas for Christ.

According to LeRoy Gillan (an Arlington, Texas, Adventist anesthetist who is taking the course), "Loma Linda University completed its first year of instruction for the M.P.H. degree this month in the Southwest. Students in this masters degree program prepare to present the Adventist health message in a way that the world will accept. This dynamic program is a must for all ministers, teachers, and health professionals." Call Fred Murray, union health department director, for details at 817/641-6601 or 817/641-9038.

CHARLES WHITE IS AMARILLO PASTOR. Elder and Mrs. C. L. White from North Carolina are coming to Amarillo to pastor. Charley built a 17,500-foot church building (seating 450) with a fellowship hall which seats 350 at tables, plus ample room for divisions, etc., in Kernersville, North Carolina, where he has pastored for 41/2 years. He is a prime example of good health — runs 8-10 miles a day three to four days a week. His wife, Mardell, is a gracious, friendly out-going lady who wonderfully assists Elder White's ministry. Welcome, friends, to the Southwest.

BOBBY ROBERTS RETURNS HOME. After spending 25 years in the Inter- American Division as a missionary, Bobby Roberts is back home serving as pastor of the Burleson, Texas, congregation. Bobby was reared in Fort Worth so pastoring in a Fort Worth suburb really, indeed, is home to him. A warm welcome to Bobby and his good wife, Bettye. We feel honored to have this superb missionary family join the Southwest team. Bob's ministry has been fantastically blessed as a missionary.

12D — REVIEW, November 1, 1979 RECORD Brandom Corporation (A Report to the People)

Southwestern Adventist College is now the sole owner of the Brandom Manufacturing Corporation. During recent weeks by action of the appropriate conference executive committees and the Executive Committee of the Southwestern Union Conference, Brandom shares have been transferred to the college. At the Brandom shareholders meeting and board meeting on Sep- tember 25, the college received the remaining outstanding shares. Mrs. R. J. DeVice, acting for Dr. H. M. Westphal, turned over to the college Dr. Westphal's 114 shares in the Brandom Corporation. SAC, which had before owned 933 of the 2,136 out- standing shares, is now the sole owner of the corporation. Southwestern Adventist College is also the sole owner of Southwestern Diversified Industries, a tax-paying business con- glomerate which includes Southwestern ColorGraphics, LaLoma Foods, the Village Exxon, and a leasehold division which holds the property of the Village Mall Shopping Center. It is planned that the Brandom Corporation will become one of the divisions of Southwestern Diversified Industries. Brandom will continue to be operated as a business for the purpose of making profits and providing labor to students and others living in the area. A total of 105 students are employed in the Keene and Gentry plants combined. There will be no change in the status of the workers of the Brandom Corporation as far as the working policies or the remuneration policies of the company are concerned. Mr. and Mrs. DeVice had given leadership since November 14, 1978, when he was elected president and she was elected ad- ministrative assistant. For the last two to three months, the company neared break even in its operations, but there will undoubtedly be continued losses for some months in the future, especially during the slow months of December, January, and February. It has been very difficult for the company to reestablish profitable operations quickly because of the continued high-interest rates on a very large debt and because of the slow down in housing that began in the early months of 1979. The services of Mr. Howard Rosenheim, a specialist in manu- facturing, were secured through Graphics Management in Chi- cago to give guidance in turning the company operation around. His counsel has had much to do with the improved picture as has also the expertise of Brandom's chief executive officer, Marvin Anderson. Marvin has spent countless hours grappling with policies and making key management decisions. The acquisition of Brandom by Southwestern Adventist Col- lege, and the establishment of Brandom as one of the divisions of Southwestern Diversified Industries, is a step which church lead- ers believe will greatly benefit Brandom. Using the financial strength of Southwestern Diversified Industries, which during the past two years has made $239,218 profit, it will be possible to The company is now being managed by Mr. Clem Hobbs.

The cow thought a minute, and then said, "Well, unlimited. maybe it's because I give while I'm still living!" Human ability can be a big liability. Those who have it too The "cow" in the above story made an important point.
