1. HCO AREA SECRETARY — Co-ordinates and gets done the promotional functions of Division 1.

2. DEPARTMENT 1 (Dept of Routing, Appearances and Personnel) — Sees that the org has a good clean appearance.

The HCO Division of every org must establish in Dept 3, Department of Inspection and Reports, an Org Rudiments section.

3. Sees that personnel are properly dressed, well-conducted and give the org a good tone.

The section is headed by an officer. This person is called the Org Rudiments Officer.

4. Requires Reception to make known free introductory lectures to all callers.

This section's actions are senior to those of the Inspection Officer and if any choice exists the post of Inspection Officer may be left if both it and the Org Rudiments Officer post cannot both be filled. In a very small org it is a duty of the HCO Area Sec and in the absence of an Org Ruds Officer is a duty of the HCO Area Sec.

5. Has books on display at Reception.

6. Keeps staff from collecting in Reception Centre and talking Scientology before callers.

The Org Rudiments Officer ceaselessly gets in the Org Rudiments as issued in the past and revised from time to time.

7. Controls public notice boards of the org and makes sure they also feature org services available.

These Org Rudiments are gotten in without regard to Divisions or Departments and are applied as a broad action.

8. Routes people swiftly and accurately to the required services.

9. DEPARTMENT 2 (Dept of Communications) — Keeps a complete Address File in such shape that mailings are wide and sent to people who will respond. Never lets go of an address or a mailing list and keeps them all properly corrected and up to date and in proper categories for ready use.

What Rudiment the Org Rudiments Officer last completed is made part of the Weekly Cable (or statistic report at Saint Hill) along with OIC data.

10. Sees that mailings go out promptly and on schedule.

This is added as the last notation in the cable as RUD (number).

11. Sees that internal despatches are swiftly delivered and are in accurate form.

This would be RUD 3 or RUD 12. It implies that the next number is being worked on and that the number given is completed.

12. Sees that letters and orders arrive safely and are quickly handled and not overlooked.

13. Oversees stationery and typing quality so that communications going outside the org look smart and sound bright.

When the last Org Rudiment on the list of Org Rudiments is completed one begins on Org Rud Number 1 again.

14. DEPARTMENT 3 (Dept of Inspection and Reports) Sees that the org is there and functioning.

15. Sees that Suppressives and enturbulative elements do not block dissemination.

Org Ruds are done with some rapidity. Doing them through the list several times is superior to doing one or two in six months.

16. Sees that service is accurately given and that no squirrel tech is used.

One does not do them superficially. One does them as well as he or she can and then goes on.

17. Prevents the phenomenon of no-case-gain by spotting Potential Trouble Sources and handling.

17 a. Ethics gets case resurgences by finding the right SPs.

Each Rudiment done is the subject of a written report.
