1958:
Mr. Hubbard delivers 122 lectures in 1958, six of which are filmed. In October he sails to London aboard the RMS Statedam. In England, he delivers 32 lectures, while reorganizing local offices. With this accomplished, he sets sail back to Washington in early December aboard the Saxonia.
1959:
He defines the duties of the various echelons of Scientology organizations and delivers six lectures on auditing refinements in Washington, DC.
In March he begins negotiations to purchase Saint Hill Manor in Sussex, England, which will be his home for the following seven years. By May, negotiations are completed and he moves his residence to the 55-acre estate. The worldwide Scientology headquarters is moved to Saint Hill.
In yet another line of research, this one involving different orders of life, Mr. Hubbard conducts horticultural experiments in greenhouses at Saint Hill which bring about major increases in plant growth. His discoveries are reported in horticultural magazines internationally and receive wide coverage in daily newspapers.
In all he gives 128 lectures this year and writes two books.
