Dear ACL: Our club, established two years ago, is the only amateur film group active in Israel. It consists of some 120 members, but we are so poorly equipped that we must limit our activities more to theory than to practice. We lack especially projection machines (16mm.), which are not to be found in Israel on the free market but only in the black market. And, as you know, we cannot send foreign funds out of the country. We write to ask, therefore, if some of your members will be willing to exchange second-hand and not-needed equipment against souvenirs, books, paintings and the like from the Holy Land? References concerning our club (and the undersigned) may be had from Reverend Park T. Rushford, New Bethel Baptist Church, Wanamaker, Indiana. I.
