Greetings!
To you Christians from scattered residences in Asia, Europe, Africa, North
and South America and the great and small islands of the sea who have
journeyed to this assembly, may Jehovah's undeserved kindness and
peace be increased.
While all of us are most joyful at being together in assembly, still we
are mindfu! of our many brothers and sisters who have been unable to ioin
us here in New York at this marvelous Divine Will International Assembly
of Jehovah's Witnesses. Our love reaches out to every one of them, and
our prayers ascend to our gracious God to bless them nonetheless. May it
be Jehovah's will that fhrough our being here we shall be able to take the
ioy, gladness and warm fel!o~Nship of this assembly back to our brothers,
along with the abundant spiritual food that we are confident Jehovah will
shower upon us to overAov1ing. As delegates at this assembly we must all
feel our responsibility in this regard. What a pleasure it will be for you
delegates to talk soon to our brothers around the world about the goodness of Jehovah!
We are grateful, too, for the many labors of love already expressed by
willing workers in prepara"tion for this glorious assembly, and we rejoice to
see the spirit of Jehovah operating through his Son, Jesus Christ, upon all
his willing slaves. Together, all of us are determined by Jehovah's undeserved kindness to make the good news of Jehovah's kingdom known in
all the inhabited earth and to make this assembly a praise to the most holy
name of Jehovah, our God.
To all of you present I extend a hearty welcome and transmit the warm
love from Jehovah's witnesses from all around the world. Together our
prayers continue to be that the divine will may come to pass at this
assembly to the honor o'f Jehovah's great name and to the blessing of his
faithful people.
Your brother,

tables. When you finish your meal please do not
stand around and talk but take your tray to
tables where you may deposit the used trays
and cups. Then move on to the stadium or
somewhere else, inasmuch as space in the din
ing room will be at a premium. The crowds
should move quickly in order to accommodate
thousands of others that will also want to eat
at the cafeteria. There will be enough to accommodate all. Be patient. It will be helpful if
all do not endeavor to get to the cafeteria right
away. After the final session each night a 35c
snack lunch will be served up until 9:45 p.m.,
with exception of the final Sunday, when a regular meal will be served.

CHECKROOM
There will be a large checkroom in each stadium. The one at Yankee Stadium will be in
Sections 14 to 20, Basement level, and at the
Polo Grounds it will be in Section 1-A, Ground
level. Where brothers check out of their rooms
on the last day of the convention before the
final session it will be better for them to take
their baggage directly to the railroad station or
bus terminal from which they will be leaving
than to bring it to the convention grounds. If
you have anything to check you may do so, at
your own risk. The Society will not be responsible for any loss. The checkroom is operated as
a convenience.

VOLUNTEER SERVICE
Information on all chartered airplanes, steamships, special trains and buses may be obtained
at this department on the Main level, in Section
44-A, at the Polo Grounds. Representatives of
the various countries will be on duty at designated times to provide information to delegates
from abroad. Bear in mind that no announcements will be made over the loud-speaking system at either stadium concerning the time of
departure of any special trains, planes or buses
at the conclusion of the convention, or at any
other time. Groups should be sure to make their
own arrangements and each individual should
know when the party is to leave and point of
departure.
All non-U.S. citizens departing from the
United States, with the exception of Canadians,
must be in possession of U.S. Tax Clearance
forms. Delegates who traveled from Europe to
New York by chartered plane or steamship
should call at the Travel department to obtain
their clearance forms. All others may obtain information on getting clearance by coming to
the Travel department, where U.S. government
tax inspectors will be on duty during the convention.
During convention time a wonderful opportunity is afforded us in which we can serve our
brothers' needs and welfare during the assembly. Much assistance is required for a
well-functioning convention organization. The
Society is very appreciative of the volunteer
assistance that has already been received. Yet
bear in mind that much more will be required.
Whatever we do in behalf of our brothers
should be considered a manifestation of our
love for our brothers and Jehovah. {1 John 4:
20, 21) So we would suggest that you take advantage of this opportunity to share in the
volunteer service and help in whichever department you have had experience with or
would like to serve. Go to the Volunteer Service
department in Section 31, Lobby level, and
Section 52, Lobby level, at Yankee Stadium or
Section 5, Ground level, and Section 44-A, Main
level, in the Polo Grounds. We will require
many individuals for the Cleaning department,
others for serving in the Attendant department
to assist with moving the crowd properly and
orderly. Others will be required for serving food
in the cafeteria and refreshment stands and
for many other services. Would you not like to
volunteer your time and labors in behalf of the
convention organization? Keep in mind that
departments are closed during the sessions, so
almost everyone will have opportunity of taking in the spiritual food that Jehovah so graciously provides at the assembly. All of us want
to return home enriched with the good spiritual
food supplied here. When you volunteer you
will be told of the department to which you
should report and will accordingly be given an
identification card. We would suggest that you
report immediately and obtain your instructions concerning the hours that you are to serve.
