Plowing Up the Field
PLOWING UP the FIELD
The shadow of what once was Monica Macomber reports from Phoenix that, in addition to her Judo, she's now studying the Japanese language. Even though she's lost 30 pounds, she wants to lose 10 more -- and her landlord -- in keeping with Phoenix custom -- did his bit by upping her rent... Ted Otteson is now a "Fellow of Scientology", given to him as an award for a two-hour talk with Don Purcell just a few days before Don gave Dianetics back to Dr. Hubbard... John Bloomquist, of Peoria, Ill., suggests heads of scientology churches be called "Arcbishops" -- and we pass the suggestion on to any who may be inclined to knock the "h" out of other so-called officials... One of the officers of the HASI (who insists on remaining strictly anonymous) wrote us (surreptitiously, they admit) that (confidentially) a notice of excommunication against The ABERREE had been posted on the HASI Bulletin Board. When we were Phoenix students, we saw stranger things than that on the Board, but this being scientology, nobody takes anything seriously. Everybody knows that...
Two couples being careful not to establish prenatals for future auditors to "run out": Jerry & Jane Knowlton of Chicago, and Nelson & Betty Marlowe of Paducah, Ky. No data on how much longer they'll stay in the "expecting" classification ... Also in this category are Waldo & Anne Boyd of Encino, Calif., but this will be their second child... We also hear the stork has an order from Phoenix, but we were unable to catch the name of his host & hostess... Duane Leazenby wants it known -- and has so advised his postmaster -- that he has NOT moved from his old Sacramento address, as his postmaster informed The ABERREE. Maybe keeping a magazine going to and fro -- at two cents a ride -- is a new means of cutting down the postal deficit... And while we're on this subject, add to subscribers we have difficulty keeping trace of: John Robinson, "Wing" Angel, and Bob Shannon. For non-subscribers we have difficulty keeping track of, see Page 37...
The L. Ron Hubbards have a new mansion on East Osborne in Phoenix, with a waterfall-fed swimming pool and everything, including a nursery for the children -- one of which isn't due until February ... Lynn Lamoreaux reports she's happier than she has been for a long time, even if one of their cats did take off, leaving them only three. She is now working "graveyard shift" in the crippled children's division of the Arizona State Welfare-Home. ... Ikey Stone, just back from Louisiana where she attended the birth of a granddaughter, reveals her husband, Remington, is selling their Pasadena home and going into business. And wouldn't you know -- it's the rock (or stone) business... Tido Churchill has a commercial outlet for those hand-painted place mats she has been doing -- in a swank Scottsdale shoppe...
CONCEPTS has folded, its editor, Clifton Amsbury, writes from Richmond, Cal. Or, rather, it will as soon as John Carey mails the next -- and final -- issue ... From Arthur Hart in Fort Worth comes the suggestion that "This Old House" be adopted as the official exteriorization song for scientologists. Surely there's no connection between that and the fact he's bought a new home and is trying to sell his old one before he moves... A crowd of students, ex-students, and friends filled a large room for a send-off party given George Seidler just before he left El Cerrito, Calif., for Peoria, Ill., where George is taking a job with his father... If you haven't heard this from other sources, there'll be a "Unification Conference" in Phoenix December 28-31. And this time we'll try not to be 36 hours late. That is, IF we go...
Walshes Incorporate As Non-Profit Firm
Hardin and Joanna Walsh are now incorporated as a non-profit organization, using the labels Scientology Council, Inc., the University of Scientology, the Chapel of Scientology, and the Junior Chapel of Scientology, according to an announcement from Joanna. The Walshes are located at 621 South Oxford, Los Angeles.
Joanna said they now are registered with the H.A.S.I. as a group, and have made application for further affiliation. In the meantime, they are launching a new, five-point program, titled "Horizons Unlimited", with which they hope to reach a greater mass of people with Scientology data.
The Council offers auditing on a group and individual level, training, and Chapel services for both adults and children.
