Family film series beginning this week The Wingham Corps of The Sal- vation Army has embarked on a new venture. In conjunction with the Army's 90th year in Canada, the local corps is introducing a series of excellent films to be shown once a month during the spring and fall of this year; Such outstanding films as "The Paul Carlson Story", "Through Gates of Splendour", "The Son Wor= shippers" and "A Man and His Men" will be presented, many of these for the first time in this area. The series will begin this Sun- day evening at 7 with one of the newest films to be released, "No Need to Hide". This .is an eye- opening and heart-warming color film that retraces the life story of Nicky Cruz, a former warlord in the ganglands of New York. Television star Art Linkletter travels With Nicky on a return visit to the ghettos of Manhattan to meet former friends, many of whom are still involved in gang- land intrigue. Together they re - , trace the steps and describe the life that made Cruz one of the most feared gang leaders in the Bronx. Very early in life Nicky Cruz was rejected by . his mother. Broken, bewildered and certain that no one cared, he ran the gamut of human emotions and by the time he reached 18 was guilty of almost every crime known to man. Then he had a personal encoun- ter with Jesus Christ! The story of Nicky Cruz as told in "No Need to Hide" is a thrilling experience that will help restless youth and adults find meaning and purpose for life.
