SHIOKARI PASS, a
new film from the
producers of THE HI-
DING PLACE, will be
shown at the First
Baptist Church on
Sunday, Sept. 18th.
The one hour color
release from World
Wide Pictures will
be shown once begin-
ning at 8:00 p.m.
SHIOKARI PASS is
unique among World
Wide Pictures produ-
ctions. Although it
has an English soun-
dtrack, it was orig-
inally produced for
showing to Japanese
audiences. It was
filmed entirely in
Japan with a Japane-
se cast and crew,
and depicts the del-
icate beauty of that
country. The drama
of the story unfolds
against a backdrop
of Japan’s spring
blossoms, snow-capp-
ed mountains, and
whispering native
music.
A true story, SHI-
OKARI PASS is based
on the international
best seller by Ayako
Miura. Nearly two
million readers have
been touched by this
story of the abiding
love of a young cou-
ple at the turn of
the century.
Credited with cre-
ating a deeper unde-
rstanding of the Ch-
ristian faith among
the Japanese people,
the film tells of
the love of Nubuo
for Fujiko, and of
his willingness to
be guided by his pe-
rsonal faith, no ma-
tter how great the
cost of commitment.
From its gentle
opening to its grip-
ping, unexpected co-
nclusion, SHIOKARI
PASS is a profound
demonstration of the
power of love in one
life.
Ken Cole, pastor
of First Baptist Ch-
urch, extends an in-
vitation to each me-
mber of the communi-
ty to attend this
special showing and
added, "SHIOKARI PA-
SS is the kind of
film that will be
enjoyed and remembe-
red by the entire
family."
There will be no
admission charge for
the film program.
NUMBER TWO
ON THE BALLOT
(S.J.R. 13)

stitutional amendment to

$200 million in bonds or ob-
ligations of the State of

ans to purchase tracts under
certain circumstances.
The wording of the pro-
posed amendment as it will
appear on the ballot is as
follows:
“The constitutional
amendment to provide for
an additional $200 million
in bonds ox- obligations of
the State of Texas for the
Veterans’ Land Fund and
to allow surviving widows
of veterans to purchase
tracts under certain cir-
cumstances.”
