TRULY A MOTION PICTURE YOU
WILL LONG REMEMBER!
MT rare intervale from the film capitol comes a picture
Ak which has the touch of the Master. A picture that
while at times transcends the ordinary with its emo-
tional impact, tells a simple story of one of God's Messen-
gers in a manner at once, straight forward and with heart
warming sincerity.
Such pictures were “Stars in My Crown” and “I’d Climb
The Highest Mountain'-’ and now, “Country Parson”.
In these time's fraught with uncertainties and unknown
•angers ahead, men are turning once more to Christ and
nee in ever- increasing numbers following in His footsteps.
8m like a church steeple pointing its finger straight to God,.
this'picture is more than a sernjpn on film, it is a challenge
painting its finger straight at your he^t.
Yes, see it for entertainment, for itWs superb film enter-
tainment, but see it for its message, see it as a never to be
forgotten experience in the Theatre.

Enforcement Begins fctnuctry 1, 1932, On this date, the new Safety Responsibility Law,
as passed by the Legislature, goes into effect. This law. was designed to protect you against financially irrespon-
sible drivers and owners of motor vehicles involved in accidents. It affects all drivers and motor vehicle owners
(except Federal, State, County and City-owned cars),
IYhat Ml/St 1 Oil Do After An Accident? Under existing laws, you must file a written
report to the Department of Public Safety if your car is involved in an accident where there is a death, an injury
or property damage in excess of $25. Under the new law, a written report must be filed within ten days if your
car is in an accident resulting in death, injury or property damage in excess of $100.
- ... I
You Don’t Have to Carry liability Insurance, But. . . if you are not insured
against bodily injury and property damage liability, you must be able to deposit with the Department of Public
Safety security equal to the estimated damage, not exceeding $15,000.00, to cover all claims growing out of an
accident anywhere in Texas in which you or your motor vehicle were involved. If you cannot establish financial
responsibility for tlie future, youf driver’s license and your motor vehicle license plates are automatically
suspended.

It’s Easy to Establish Financial Responsibility with a motor vehicle liability insur-
ance policy. If you do not now have such a policy, call your local insurance agent today. He is a qualified insur-
ance counselor who will be happy to advise you concerning your needs.
j
What is the Minimum of Your Liability? The law permits each driveno establish
the following minimum limits of liability: up to $5,000.00 for injuries sustained by one person; up to $10,000.00
for all personal injuries resulting from one accident, and up to $5,000.00 for property damage. You do not have
to establish such liability but it is the easiest way. _ “***■"
