Editing of the picture has been
completed, and only technical
adjustments of a minor nature
in music scoring and clubbing of
sound effects remain to be COM
pleted. Running time of the pic
ture will be slightly more than
two hours, possible l23 minutes
The finished picture thus
winds up a three-year produc-
ton career. DeMille sat down
with his writers for the first
story conference on July %,
1916. Actually, Samson and
Delilah" has been in the pro-
ducer's mind since 1884 when he
assigned Harold Lamb to write
the treatment which served as
a basis for the screenplay.
The Technicolor film boasts
five stars including Hedy La
MARI and Victor Mature, teamed
in the title roles, George Sand
ers, Angela Lansbury and Henry
Wilcoxon. There is also an i'm
preside array of "a feature
players who receive screen
credit. Cast also includes 100
players who enacted smaller
parts, with speaking roles pre-
dominating, and some 1000
extras.
The film was before the Para
mount studio cameras two and a
half months under DeMille's
direction, with pre-production
filming of action backgrounds in
French West Africa by a studio
unit. Four units in all were en-
gagged on the production.

68th birthday, Samson

ACCIDENTS DON'T HAPPEN
By DR.. Robert w. Barr of the American
/, puhIis Health Assn

Robert w. of the American Pubs Health Assn
Are you of those people who hate to turn the
radio or pick up the newspaper Monday morning? If
So you have plenty of company. The weekend accident
always the only the names are different
- Four killed in at grade crossing Boy browns in
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-07-08

just plain bad manners on the
road-such practices as road
hogging, driving over the denter
line, or ignoring the other fell
lows right-of-way. Drunke n
driving accounted for twelve per
cent of the traffic deaths, and
what we might call drunken
walking caused another three
per cent. Of course, you never
do any of those things, either.
I'm glad you don't. 1T means
you'll probably live longer. The
Safety Council in Toledo, A Red
Feather Service, has been help
full in reducing accidents in To-
ledo 1870 this past year.
All these people are adults.
You may well say, "They ought
to know better" But children
don't know better. The child and
the aged person are the chief
victims of accidents, in and a.
round the home. The large total
of accidents among children is
of particular concern to the pub
lie health worker, because il
cancels out the value of so much
that public health has accom-
plished. There doesn't seem to
be too much point in saving
lives from being snuffed out by
diphtheria, mallpox, and
Whooping cough, if our careful
ly immunized children are going
to be killed in accidents. During
the last half-century, we have
got must of the communicable
diseases pretty we'll under con-
troll. They are no longer a major
health problm. Last year, for in
stance, fewer than fifty people
in Minnesota died from diphthe-
ria, whooping cough, measles,
scarlet fever, and thyphoid few
er combined, and nobody died
from smallpox.
we do urge parents to do ev-
erything possible to protect their
children against preventable dis
ease. Equally important, how
ever, is the duty of parents to
protect children against pre-
Ventable accidents - and the
vast majority of accidents are
preventable. Remember, acci-
dents don't happen. Oh, a few
OF them do. l know. A few peo-
pie every year are struck by
lightning or suffer death injury
from some other natural caIami-
W. But these unavoidable acci-
dents are very few in compari-
son with the reckless drivers
VINO get smashed up at grade
crossings - the careless fisher
men who drown in lakes = the
children who burn to death
while mother is out visiting the
neighbors.
wish we had another word
Tor the accidents that could and
should be prevented. The word
accident" should be used onIy
Tor natural calamities that could
not be prevented by mans fore
sight or action. We have no right
10 say it's an accident when a
smoker sets his bedclothes on
lire or baby browns in the fish
pond. Those occurrences are not
accidents. They are crimes =
caused by someone's careless
ness.
Let's look around those
homes of ours, and check up on
the hazards to life and limb
AND then let's do something
ABOUT those hazards. Let's each
OF us first make sure that our
own nome is made as accident
proof as is possible. Let's keep
IL that way, but let's 60 still
lurther and carry this accident
prevention from our own home

community.

Patsy Lees job on ABCs
Breakfast Club" came about by
what she considers lucky
fluke. A friend sent a recording
of her voice to the station when
a replacement for Nancy Mar
tin was being sought. Patsy was
offered the job for one week;
she flew to California to take
it. She was off and on the show
for about 10 months, then was
made a permanent member of
the cast.
Gale Storm has been ac-
cused of wanting another child
because a dining room table
looks better balanced when
six, instead of five, are seated
around it. She says that isn't
true, though she and her hus-
band, Lee Bonnell, do want
just one addition to their
three boys. She grew up as
one of five children, says its
only natural to want a large
family.
M-G-M has added two more
principals to the cast of "Quo

Chess Notes
BY Donald H. Mueridee

Norman T. Whitaker, who made
|612-212, and Simon Naidel, 6-3.
The July monthly rapid at the
Federal went to DR.. H. v. Klein,
who learned his chess half a CEN
fury ago in Vienna, with q tally
of seven straight wins.
There followed in triple
bracket Harold Burdge, the club
champion; H. Dalland and M. s.
Isaacs. a newcomer to speed chess,
with So each.
The Washington Chess Divan
at 2445 Fifteenth street NV,
keeps up it's remarkable record,
equalled only by the two leading
clubs of New York City, of one or
two speed events every week. On
July 80, in a double-round 10
second tourney. Oscar Shapiro
and Stuart E. Wagman tied for
first, with 81 apiece; Comdr.
Charles D. Mott followed with 60.
On August 3, in a 5-minute game
tourney. Mr.. Wagman again tied
for first, this time with D. H.
Mugridge; each scored 5la-1h.
Richard s. Cantwell was third
with 4-3.
At the Divan a double-round
quadrangular tourney has been
organized with Hans Berliner,
Richard Cantwell, Oscar Shapiro,
and Stuart Wagman as partici-
pants, and is nearly finished. Sha-
piro has completed his schedule,
and with "a can do not better
than a tie for last place. He lost
both games to Berliner and traded
victories with the other two. Ber-
liner has 3l2-1l2 Wagman az
III. and Cantwell 23. Upon
Wagman's adjourned ending with
Berliner. in which Wagman has
winning chances. and his I'M
played game with Cantwell, the
result depends. The outcome
should be available next Sunday.
The following game was one of
the liveliest and most interesting
in the late District championship.
Schwartz ran into a surprise on
Whites ninth move, and there
after struggled valiantly, but the
SkidS were under him.
