16 REVIEW AND HERALD, August 21, 1969 LIBYA: Tripoli Fairgoers Visit BAH Temperance Booth Some 18,000 people were exposed to the Adventist health message recently at the annual Tripoli International Trade Fair in Libya, as they passed through the booth sponsored by the Benghazi Advent- ist Hospital. Although Tripoli is 600 miles across the North African desert from Benghazi, the extra hardships and costs incurred because of the distance are well repaid. Thousands of people receive free health literature, see the temperance films, and buy health books. This is the only opening our church has in eastern Libya. This year the catchy Arabic phrase Tau'aman yakulan, hat! hat! ("The twins The new Malamulo College dining room and kitchen complex was built opposite the Mala- cry, Give!

Used also as an auditorium, this new building adds distinction to the campus. the booth and generated a number of inquiries regarding the identity of the twins. Two large models, one a cigarette, the other a whisky bottle, placed on either side in the front of the projector helped to illustrate the ever-demanding twins. Each evening as the floor was swept clean of crushed packages of cigarettes and half-burned butts, one could visualize the determination of individuals to live a better life after having seen the film One in 20,000.
