Animal Types at the Vincennes Zoo in Paris: These penguins used to live at the South Pole. They are good companions and like plenty of company and can swim like fish. They can shoot out of the water in parabolic flight because of the terrific speed they get from their paddle-like fins.

I like working at the shelter workshop. I can be productive and be part of the community. I make money and pay my own way. On my days off I watch TV, ride my bike and write letters to my friends. Someday I'm thinking of getting married.

Jerusalem Alley, A Symbolic Warsaw Street: when Soviet and Polish troops met in Warsaw on January 17, 1945, it was in Jerusalem Alley that they met. At that time, Warsaw was 95% destroyed and this street, like the rest, was like a cemetery in the city of the dead. But today, 15 years later, the scene has changed considerably. There are still a few ruins to be seen, true, but for the most part, the street has been entirely rebuilt. Most of the older buildings are in the grimly-blunt Soviet-style of architecture; but in more recent structures, even this changed. And since the October 1956 revolution, a new wind of dignity and freedom has blown down the street. It is no longer an eastern city, nor is it entirely a western one. But one thing is certain, it is Polish. Pictured: a shoe store window draws a big crowd in goods hungry Warsaw.

South Vietnamese soldiers ride elephants across a river in the Ba Don area, about 20 miles from the Cambodian border, during a patrol in search of Viet Cong guerrillas in June 1964. In some conditions, the Hannibal-like transportation is more suited to jungle warfare than more modern vehicles

The Rotary Club has 752,000 members in 150 countries. It was started in 1905 by a group of businessmen for their mutual benefit. The name derives from the original plan to "rotate" the location of each meeting. Today Rotary is a club devoted to four types of service: Club, Community, Vocational and International. We are still growing and add at least one new club to our worldwide membership every day. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California, from the series "Our Kind of People"
