Title:
Catholic 'School on Wheels.'
Description:
Mountain View, Calif.--Public school children of St. Joseph's Parish here pose outside the 35-foot trailer-school in which they attend released-time religious instruction classes. The Rev. James B. Doyle of St. Joseph's, faced with a mushrooming congregation of San Francisco commuters, solved his scattered flock's educational problem by getting this 2 1/2 ton trailer for $2,800. The vehicle, which seats 55 pupils, pulls up to each public school before the youngsters are released. Father Doyle said that 900 public school children are under released-time instruction. St. Joseph's Parish is in the heart of a country area being rapidly developed with homes for persons working in San Francisco, 30 miles to the North.

Title:
'Hot Rod' racers combine religion with sports.
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."
