National Lutheran Publicity Week was observed -every year of
the past triennium the week before Ash Wednesday.

As a publicity event of outstanding importance the four-
hundredth anniversary of the publication of the Luther Bible was
featured by our congregations. The Synodical Press Committee
acknowledges with deep appreciation the splendid cooperation of the
American Bible Society in placing at the disposal of our churches
very attractive printed matter and observing the annual Bible Sunday
as a “Luther Bible Anniversary.”

During the past three years your Committee has freely helped
District and local press committees, pastors, and church-workers in
the preparation of publicity material, provided suggestions for State
and county-fair exhibits, released news stories for the public press,
and carried on a correspondence in the interest of the duties assigned
to your Committee. Grateful acknowledgment is hereby made of the
policy of the A. L. P. B., which liberally placed its office facilities at
your Committee’s disposal, thus effecting a great saving of money to
our Synod. .

For the Thirty-sixth Convention ‘advance publicity was mailed
to 1,000 daily, weekly, and biweekly newspapers. Associated Press,
