Adi answered my cable May 25th: UNLESS YOUR FUNDS PERMIT PRESENT RATE OF DISTRIBUTION I SUGGEST YOU TELL LUTHRA AND CONCERNED TO HAND OUT FOLDER UNIVERSAL MESSAGE WITH DISCRETION STOP BABA IS HAPPY WITH YOUR WORK AND SENDS HIS LOVE BLESSING TO YOU LUTHRA STELLA AND ALL WHO HELP YOU.

On May 28th, Stella, Muriel Kerr and I sat in one of the India Pavilion's basement storerooms to stuff the Messages shipped from the States with the 10,000 new booklists. On our way out of the building that evening, we put stacks of Messages on "Baba's" counter and watched. Stella wrote Kitty next day: "In no time at all, they disappeared like butter in the frying pan ... that 10,00 a week is no exaggeration."

Meantime, Jane and I checked prices for printing another 100,000 Messages (50,000 French and 50,000 English) which, at the rate of 10,000 a week, we knew could be distributed over the rest of Expo. With the help of over 100 generous contributors in the United States and Canada we raised the necessary $1,200, and our Montreal printer went ahead with the reprint.

At first, the Messages were placed at the Information Desk just inside the front door of the Pavilion where they remained until that last long holiday weekend in May — when nearly half a million visitors swarmed over Expo. But the crowds entering the Pavilion were so large (see photo) that the Messages created a bottleneck and had to be moved to the next room and placed on the glass showcase in which books about Baba, Nehru, Mararishi Mahesh Yogi and others were displayed. That, too, was a good spot as part of India's history was exhibited there and film screenings were held every hour. Beautiful books about India's culture and heritage, and records of her ancient and modern music were on sale at the counter right next to "Baba's". Thoughtful people browsed there and I watched, several times, as a young man or woman stood, elbows propped on the counter, and read a Universal Message with concentration. Then, when this room was taken over to celebrate the centennial of Mahatma Gandhi's birth, both counters and their contents were moved to their final site ... the place beside the entrance to the Pavilion's smart restaurant and the exit from the main building where visitors'
