LeTourneau’s pioneering tradition dates back to the early 1920’s when he began to build land leveling machinery by the then-revolutionary process of wield ing. The operation reached propor tions where incorporation was necessary and this w'as the begin ning of the firm of R. G. Le- Tourneau, Inc., of which Air. LeTourneau is still president and chief engineer. The company’s hallmark has been the heavy equip ment w’hich makes possible new methods, new efficiency, and new fields of operation. The career of Air. LeTour neau has been built with a slide rule in one hand and a Bible in the other. The religious aspect of the title of God’s Businessman has been earned by the many mil lions of dollars w’hich he has con tributed to furthering Christian work in this country and abroad. I'his work was done through the LeTourneau Foundation, which he and his wife endow’ed in 1935. Through this Foundation he has contributed more than 90 percent of his worldly goods. In addition to the financial en dowment of the Lord’s work, he devotes virtually every weekend to serving as a lay preacher—flying more than 100,000 miles per year to points throughout the United States and Canada. In recognition of his industrial achievements, Air. LeTourneau w\as honored in 1956 by the Frank lin Institute in Philadelphia, which aw’arded him its coveted Frank P. Browm Aledal for “Revolution ary improvements in earthmoving equipment, with vast benefit to public works and private building construction.” Probably as spectacular as the products he builds is the fact that (Continued on Page Four) Listen Fund Launched Listen Fund recently launched its 1957-58 campaign with chapel programs featuring foreign stu dents in native costume. This fund was established by N. C. students several years ago. Its main objective is sending sum mer student missionaries and medi cal and spiritual aid to those areas that need them most. It provides opportunity for students to take part in a world-wide program. The Listen Fund, deriving its name from Love Impels Sacrifice Toward Every Need, has sent aid to Indonesia, Africa, China, Ma laya, Ceylon, Korea, and other countries. In addition, the fund has provided seminary scholar ships in these countries. The fund has also provided an opportunity for several students to serve in mission fields. Last year, how ever, the fund was far short of its goal; consequently, there was only enough money to send two missionaries. Their reports showed a definite need for more support. One of these missionaries was Aliss Angeline Gore, a student nurse from Fayetteville who was sent to Nigeria. It is hoped that Miss Gore will be able to visit Alars Hill campus later in the year. Another missionary was Aliss Eugene Hayman. She was sent to Portland, Oregon, to organize Baptist Student work there.
