WORD comes to us that scientology is making great strides in the Seattle Spokane area, People still must be open-minded out that aMay . Hope they don't lose their enthusiasm. Expectant parents should read the excerpts from Loeky Schuster's letter anent child birth. Her experiences should prove invaluable to mammas-to-be is many ways . We hope to reoetve,a lengthy article from her in the (we hope) new future, giving more detail, Much luck with your offspring, Lockyo cr rather, much luck to all of you. .. We hear that Colorado Springs is practically devoid of dianetieists. A few isolated members of the dianotic community still reside there but some of these are consider- ing moving out. Thus endeth another episode; The grapevine tells us that Wing and Smoky Angell have been doing some processing down Denver way and that Sadah and Chuck have left the ranks of the CO2 users. Sounds like progress is, being made . .. Speaking of 002 1 we haven't heard any comment pro or con about Perry Chapdelaine and his Phoinix setup recently . Has scientology brushed him aside? . .. haven 't .heard tram our number one Vox Pop recently. tsa matter, vox, are we off your mailing Art Coulter has favored us with an article discusaing the various aspectp of schizo- phrenia. Don't miss it in the April issue I . , .. One of our correspondents made some rather choice remarks anent certain fringe elements who are using the dianetic community as a source of income, While we are inclined to agree with' most of his remarks, we must take the stand that the people in dianetics are aware of what they want and if they didn't think the stuff was good, they wouldn't buy it . If they get stung, they are getting a cheap education. Once burned, twice as cautious ; . .. The Foundation at Wichita announces that the Board of Governors of the Dianetic Research Foundation held their first annual meeting in Wichita on Feb. 12, 13, and 14. Present were : Helen Barton: Paul Beaver, John Maloney; William McCulley, Ernie Pope, Don Rogers, David Russell, Don Purcell and Don Schuster . Those absent were, : :Eugene -Barenburg and A . E. VanVogt .--Officers were-elected as -f011aws: D avid Rus sell, Pres .,- Eugene Barenburg, Vice-pres .', and Dot Schuster,' See'y-trease Paul Cress, Paul Metcalf, Faith Rossiter and William Nelson were elected to the board during the meeting, They all accepted the responsibility when contacted by long-distance telephone . Also, a two-year program of specific projects was disc cussed and adopted . Details will be released later . The next meeting of the board is planned for early summer. John Farrell of Berkeley, Calif, writes that Hubbard t s personally conducted Clinical Courses at the HAS in Phoenix are very successful and, if possible, are getting increasingly better . Three units have graduated to date, one course is now in pro- gress and a fifth eourso will commence March 29 and run through May 7 . John says that each unit so far has had a member from his locale and that the results are showing up already in terms of case progress on manny people . Most of the urJ is being d one by group methods but some .of the cases have to be run out individually. .. Sounds good for scientology. Vol . 3, No. 30 DI ANTES Page 3 MATHISON is out with a new ultra, ultra model of his electropsychometer 0 Among other features, this model measures the basal metabolism of the Pc and incorporates a probe-needle to locate "dead" areas in the body . The price is $400 .00 . If the users'happen to run out of ideas on how to use the probe-needle, we might be per- suaded to offer a few pointed suggestions . .. Dick Kerlin sent in an entire session using analytical procedure . We regret that we do not have sufficient space to print the whole thing but. must settle for the salient points . The session proves that St . Louis has some capable auditors and, as a group, they are really on the ball,, .. One of our correspondents has come .forth with an offer to set up a twenty-five dollar (025.00). prize for the best essay anent one of his favorite subjects . If you had a million bucks with no 6trings attached other than that it had to be spent in originating a new society' which would 'be stable, expanding and workable when sur- rounded by om. present society, how would you go about it? Can you figure out a social structure that would be based upon the tériet that : "You will not be restrain ed except in your attempts to restrain others ."? If ten or more of our readers are. interested in such a contest we win go arlaad and collect the party : s certified check to be held in escrow for the winder who will be decided upon solely by the said party. In case that you haven 1 t noticed, the said party wishes, at present, to remain anon. .. A member of our group, one Carl Peters, formerly a Minister of the Gospel, went to the trouble of writing us a book report on the Eidetic Foundation's, LIVING WITH THE BIBLE, Vol . I, purportedly .writteu by Rev. Jades Welgos . His effort is much ' appre- ciated and is very well written, but ,we feel that we can=t afford to use so much space just to prove that the book leaves much to be desiredp To quote from the report, "This reviewer, however, cannot recommend this particular effort, however sincere its author maybe . The treatise promises and claims too much and offers too little . Much better material along the same lines ean be found in many libraries and bookstores, quantitively and qualitatively superior and relatively cheaper ." unquote . The rest of the report bears out the reviewers contentions . .Thanks anyway, Carl, . .. Received a nice long letter from Ted Robles, Sr, the other day . In it he promises to write ' us an article as soon : as Ted, Jr . t s series run out,Watch for. it his efforts are : always.interesting. By the, way, . ace any of our readers trying out that series of exercises? If, so, let us know what the results are, we "re it terested . .. One of our readers with a fine (?) sense of humor sent us an article describing our present groups, etc .,, in terms of an individual living many, many years in the future . It might be doséribed as being satanic, sardonic, satiric and even repre- hensible but, in spite of this, quite good .

In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is TO BE. 3. The first action of beingness is to assume a viewpoint. 4. The second action of beingness is to extend from the' viewpoint, points of view, which , are dimension points. 5. Thus there is space created, for the definition of space is: viewpoint of dimension . And the purpose of . a, dimension point is space and a point of view ." from THIS IS SCIENTOLOGY by L . Ron Hubbard Let t s. say: for the purpose of discussion, that there have been two principle view— points in Western civilization ; and, in order to keep the discussion relatively simple, we will make certain sweeping arbitraries : we will put labels on these two principle viewpoints, calling one "Cist" and the other "Shakespeare" . And, in order to further discussion, let us say that these two ideas, or viewpoints, are in apparent conflict with each other . Now, lets examine this. We might say that Christ is the mystic, or represents Man's mystical leanings . There is the definite and all—important distinction between Body and Soul, with the major emphasis placed upon the latter .
