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.

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."
