HIT, RUN DRIVER
Dianne Howard Suffers
Broken Collarbone,
Broken Shoulder
—
A hit-and-run driver, brlived
to have been a young woman!
driving a 1939 Chevrolet coach,
Saturday struck 6-year-old Di

westward with other pedestrians
when the vehicle, coming from
the west, turned south. The car
struck the girl in making the
turn. The incident occurred at

There were several dozen wit

car was without rear license

The girl is recovering satisfac

shock.

UNIQUE COLOR
FILM C0MIN6
Vivid, full-color astronomy
and natural science scenes are
featured in “The God of Crea
tion” sound motion picture to be
shown Julv 23 at the First Pres
'byterisn church, according to an
announcement made this week
by Rev. Kenneth J. Scott, pas
tor.
Produced in the West coast
laboratory of the Moody Bible
Institute by Dr. Irwin A. Moon,
“The God of Creation” is the
second in a senes of evangelistic
films. The first film by Dr.
Moon was entitled, “They Live
Fcirever.”
Early in “The God of Crea
tion” the audience takes a trip
to the stars by mems of solar
photographs taken through the
giant •100-inch telescope of Mt.
Wilson Observatory in southern
California, and views complex
gyrations of the solar system,
Rev. Scott explained.
j_,apse-time pnoiugrapny is
utilized later in a study of flow
er buds developing mto full
blown blossoms in a few seconds,
the metamorphosis of a caterpil
lar through the various stages
from worm to butterfly, and pol
lination of flowers.
Believed to be the first of their
kind are the natural color pic
tures of photosynthesis, the mys
terious food-manufacturing pro
cess resulting from the action of
sunlight on green leaves.
Through photomicrography, the
audience peers into the micro
scopic world of water and ob
serves the complexity of tiny
organisms, enlarged more than a
million times, Rev. Scott added.
