Title: Double trouble.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31015 DOUBLE TROUBLE KYOTO, Japan -- Will the real Ritsuko-chan please stand up? When Maryknoll Father Clarence J. Witte prepared to baptize a group of children at Kyoto, Japan, he was suddenly faced with identical twins. He had a list of baptismal names, but which was which--were Ritsuko-chan and Mitsuko-chan in the right order? The Maryknoller’s hunch was right; the twins quite innocently had switched seats. Parents and teachers confirmed the switch, so Father Witte went ahead with the baptism of the real Ritsuko-chan. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (AN-OS-5C-64-W)

Title: Gifts from 'heaven.'
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30889 GIFTS FROM ‘HEAVEN’ TOKYO -- Japanese children stretch their arms to grasp gifts attached to toy parachutes at a “Children’s Carnival” held by Maryknoll Fathers in a country area. In bottom photo, some gifts are swapped or shown around to other children slow in reaching for a parachute. Carnivals are an unusual method used by missionaries to interest Japanese--particularly children--in the Church. Under a program of the Good Shepherd Movement in Kyoto, missionaries visit remote rural areas with tents, movies, loud speakers, leaflets--and toy parachutes--to help spread Christianity. According to Father James H. Gordon of Lynn, Mass., “What we have is a combination revival meeting, circus, and three-week school in Christian living. The follow-up is in the hands of the local missioner.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (MM-4C-64-NAB)

Title: Missionary produces religious films.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-32039 MISSIONARY PRODUCES RELIGIOUS FILMS KYOTO, Japan -- Father James F. Hyatt of Seattle, Wash., a Maryknoll missionary in Japan who produced the award-winning motion picture “Six People -- Ten Legs,” directs filming of a scene. The 30-minute, black-and-white movie won top prize last December at the First Pan-Asia Festival of the International Catholic Film Office (OCIC) in India. It was cited as the best film made in Asia “inspired by the cultural and artistic riches” of that continent. “Six People -- Ten Legs” tells the story of a ten-year-old crippled boy whose selfish attitude is dramatically changed by the kindness of his classmates. The film, seen on national TV in the U.S. and Japan was made in conjunction with the Maryknoll Fathers’ Good Shepherd Mass Communications Movement in Japan.
