home. This is made more con-
venient by the use of some of
the beds from the motel apart-
ments. (Later the beds, along
with stoves, refrigerators and
other furniture will go to needy

here by having
dinners,” said
youth, sounding like he were
talking about a vacation at the
beach or a month’s pass to Dis-
neyland.
Why would a teenager from
Los Angeles give up two weeks
of his vacation to rip up boards
in the Imperial Valley in the
summertime? “They just want
to help with the church’s work,”
said Mrs. Kramar.
