Title: Bus solves evangelists' housing shortage.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: BUS SOLVES EVANGELISTS’ HOUSING SHORTAGE #s3519 LOS ANGELES -- Ten members of the Libbey family, touring evangelists, are shown on the “back porch” of their rolling home. They travel from state to state presenting programs of religious music in different churches. The entire family is musical, including 82-year-old Grandfather, who plays the drums. The bus was bought five years ago after being honorably retired by the Los Angeles transportation system. It has been converted into living quarters by installing Pullman-style berths in the lower deck that fold out of the ceiling. When the berths come down, curtains automatically fall over the windows. The upper deck is used to store musical instruments and for cooking and eating when the weather is fine. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (ANH-LA-MES-5B-6-W)

Description: Text transcribed from caption: MONKS USE CORN DEHYDRATER [sic] #c-3344 DUBUQUE, Iowa -- Although their Cistercian rule is centuries-old, the monks of New Melleray Abbey near here employ twentieth century farming methods. Here Father Vincent Daly, O.C.S.O., Prior of the abbey, tests with a thermometer the heat control of the corn dehydrator on the abbey farm. The dehydrator is used to prepare corn that is not dry enough to be stored in cribs. It utilizes a fan to suck air from a kerosene flame, blowing it through a pipe into the open corn crib at the rate of 700 cubic feet a minute at 250 degrees temperature. The moisture in the corn is thus driven off in the form of a cloud of steam. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (AS-DUB-MES-4D-6-C)

Title: Church Farm School head.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: CHURCH FARM SCHOOL HEAD #3550 PHILADELPHIA -- Rural Life Sunday (May 26) draws attention to institutions such as the Church Farm School, located 25 miles west of here. This unique institution, founded by Dr. Charles W. Shreiner, farmer pastor of a church in West Philadelphia, is now completing is 26th year. The school enrolls boys whose fathers are either dead, or have divorced or deserted the boy’s mother. It has 700 acres of land, and the students do practically all the farm work. Chief crop is grain, but the boys also raise chickens and pigs, and tend to a herd of 150 guernsey cows and heifers. Dr. Shreiner (above) has been the school’s headmaster since its founding. He believes that a boy is not educated until he knows how to work, and so half a boy’s time at the Farm School is spent in classrooms--the other half is taken up with work.
