Scope and content
Several people stand in the parking lot of the Memorial Presbyterian Church holding helium balloons aloft. It is September 15, 1946, and the end of the Christian Endeavor rally. George Phillips is standing on the far right. Mr. Phillips had sent evangelican messages around the world for many years. He is now trying balloons for sending his messages. The balloons are constructed of heavy rubber and expand to 30 inches in diameter. They are not fully inflated on the ground or they would burst in the upper atmosphere. (T.Times, 9/16/1946, p.1)
