Text transcribed from caption: Jibrail Rural Fellowship Center, Tripoli.
Volleyball encourages the growth of the idea of teamwork - almost a new idea
to the Arab, who is traditionally one of the most rugged of individualists.

Description:
Jibrail Rurual Fellowship Center, Tripoli. Assistant to Mr. Alter developing
the boys' program is Mr. Munir Khoury, who returned last fall from two years'
special study in American on Board scholarship to equip him for this work.
Here he explains the good qualities of two superior type rabbits. Since there
are still no prepared quarters for the rabbits on school grounds, Munir keeps
them in a pen at his home in the village. Love for rural life and a
conviction of the need for raising the standard of his own area has made him
turn down many more attractive jobs elsewhere to throw his own lot with the
work of Mr. and Mrs. [Samuel Neale and Edith Maria] Alter.

Description:
Jibrail Rural Fellowship Center, Tripoli. Mr. and Mrs. Alter are developing
their new school on the western slope of the valley opposite the old village.
Girls bring part of their food supplies and small fees which enable them to
"live in" as resident students. All work is done by the girls themselves to
give them practical training in home-making. From the old village is but a
brief ten minute walk to their new school buildings.

Description:
Oakland, Calif.--A "Hot Rod" racing club here is believed to be the only
organization of its kind in the country which combines auto racing with the
practice of Christianity. Known as the Heaven Pacers of the East Bay, the
club's 20 active members consider their racing fraternity as a missionary
field. Members attend a brief non-denominational service before every race
that is held on Sundays, in addition to praying individually during a race.
Here. Don Marker, past president of the club, kneels in prayer before his
"hot rod." The Heaven Pacers have as their motto this verse from I
Corinthians: "Know ye not that they which run in the race run all, but one
receiveth the prize? So run that ye may obtain." (9:24) To join the club,
applicants must "know the lord as your own personal saviour," and own or be
able to build a "hot rod."
