  THE SUPREME COUNCIL, 33, has just released a new film entitled 
"On the Wings of Words." Premier audiences have applauded this 
bright, beautiful film, and every Scottish Rite Mason will 
certainly stand a little taller in pride and appreciation after 
seeing it. 

  Ill Ernest Borgnine, 33, hosts "On the Wings of Words." He 
invites the audience to share in the story of three families and 
how their children are being helped by our Order's nearly 100 
Childhood Language Disorders Centers located across America.  
Glimpses of actual scenes define just what oral or written 
language disorders are, how they are diagnosed, and what can be 
done to help every child to a happy, productive life. 

  Far from the documentary style of typical institutional films, 
"On the Wings of Words" presents a colorful, dynamic picture of 
the good Scottish Rite Masons are doing for America's children.  
Of special note, for instance, is an innovative animation 
sequence which reflects the film's real-life action. 

  All this in under 15 minutes! 

  Ideal for use at Reunions and perfect for any other Masonic 
meeting, the film is so attractive that it also serves as a 
creative program for a wide variety of educational, civic, or 
service clubs such as PTA, Rotary, and Kiwanis.  Each videotape 
cassette or 16mm film package includes a very brief printed 
introduction.  All one has to do is read the introduction and 
show the videotape or film.  The result is a compact, 
entertaining, even inspiring program suitable for any audience! 

  Also, 15-second and 30-second Public Service Announcements 
(PSAs) are available on videotape.  Give one to your local 
television station.
