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:
Bejuco, Panama--Native children stand outside a small rural Catholic church
under construction here in the interior of Panama. The structure is one of a
number in a church building revival among Panamanian villages. The revival is
said to be intended to counteract the increased activity of Protestant groups
doing missionary work in rural areas. With improved transportation, Catholic
priests and missionaries will visit these new churches more often to minister
to the spiritual needs of the people. Small churches like this are springing
up through rural Panama. There appears to be a revival of church building
which may be explained as the action of the Roman Catholic Church,
traditional church of the Panama people, against the increasing activity of
some 12 different Protestant groups now doing missionary work within the
Republic of Panama. Many times there have been villages in the interior of
Panama where a priest came to say mass only the one day a year of the patron
saint of the village. Now, with improved transportation, these smaller
villages are receiving more visits from the clergy. This church under
construction was at Bejuco, on the Pan-American Highway in interior Panama,
and was being built by a neighborhood group to house their devotions.

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."
