Newscopy: "UNUSUAL SCULPTURE--Father Bruno Drescher, S.V.D., in charge of the St. Benedict Youth Center in San Francisco (Bush and Lyon streets) and Mrs. Betty Ford-Aquino stand with a group of children before an 18-foot relief in plastic executed by Mrs. Ford-Aquino which is to be placed on the side of the youth center building. The rosin and fiberglass relief, probably one of the largest ever made, was built up over a plaster mold in about three months time. Only painted portion is the lettering which reads, 'If you love not your brother whom you see, how shall you love God whom you have not seen." The massive work has the appearance of great weight but actually weighs only about 300 pounds. The St. Benedict Youth Center, associated with an all-Negro church, is used by both Negro and white youngsters.".
