“Monday Memo,” 30-minute monthly reports on the min-
istries of the LCMS, St. Louis area congregations (sponsored
by Metro-Lutheran Council), St. Louis and Springfield semi-
naries, and Church-related institutions in the metropolitan
St. Louis area.

lishing House, the program will feature the ministry of print

The Radio Award for 1972 by the American Optometric
Association was won by KFUO's Brad Holiday, with a spe-
cial award to Anita Colombo. The program was a documen-
tary on contact lenses.

KFUO installed a new AM transmitter in April 1972 and
is presently in the process of getting FCC permission to
install a new 100 K.W. FM stereo transmitter, which is
maximum power. This will increase the quality of and ex-
tend our signal considerably.

The Operating Board and Department Heads are giving
serious thought and study to religious and musical programs,
and it is hoped to disband the simulcast programming on
installation of new FM stereo transmitter, programming AM
and FM stations separately.

The Task Force appointed by Synod's Board of Directors
as resolved in the 49th regular convention of the LCMS held
in Milwaukee, Wis., July 9—~16, 1971, and KFUO’'s repre-
sentative members of the Operating Board of KFUO have
completed their study and their recommendations will be
presented in a resolution to the 50th regular convention of
the LCMS at New Orleans, La., July 6—12, 1973. This over-
ture appears elsewhere in the Convention WorKBOOK.

Our blessings have been many, the loval voluntary sup-
port of our listeners and friends, gifts from legaeies and
bequests have been a vital factor in our financial picture,
and we thank God and the Holy Spirit for having inspired
these people to include KFUO in the distribution of their
earthly possessions.

As we look to the future, we pause to thank God for the
past and ask your prayers and interest in the continued
growth and service to our fellowmen and His kingdom.
