Arthur Houk, Second and Clark Sts., Tumwater, Washington, has pre– pa r ed two splendid sets of travel ~lides with a missionary message, with sound tape to go with them. They are records of his own "Journey into Alas – ka" and "Journey into Greece."

While h e appreciates enough to pay for his postage, all he ::isks is that each church or group nay the postage back or to the next place scheduled. The "Journey into Greece ' was shown recently at Fostoria and all felt it was excellent. The slides and t ape synchronize very easily by the aid of a musical beat .
