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.
This series continues on Easter
Sunday evening when another
full-length color film, "Beloved
Enemy", will be shown.
The Salvation Army, 292 Ed-
ward Street will be the location of
all showings which will begin at 7
p.m. There is no , admission
charge and all are welcome to
attend.

Sinclair Wardrop sang a solo,
"Behold that Stranger", and H.
Swatridge was at the organ for
the hymns and musical inter-
ludes.
Mrs. Gilbert Beecroft was the
special speaker and spoke of joy.
The program was designed by
people from many parts of the
world with the hope it would help
people share joy in living togeth-
er and foster a greater under-
standing between . those . of differ-
ent countries. "It is rather odd
that we stress love and peace in
so' many 'ways, but miss out on
joy for,so many parts of the Bible
are really joyous books. Perhaps
we sometimes fail to realize the
difference between joy- and hap-
piness." Mrs. Beecroft pointed
out that just as the grass needs
rain to make it grow, people need
joy. to 'grow spiritually. Mrs.
Connell thanked the speaker and
pronounced the Benediction.
