Hampton Court Palace.
_She was going 'quietly to bed
• one night ;when up the wide

figure of a lady in black, with

with fear, unable to stir or speak
'Suddenly, as the apparition

A few days later a letter
reached her from little Maud,
telling of the death of the baron-

Vision hurried to Germany, and
in one' of the conversations be-

said: "Mamma had a curious

made the baron promise that she
should be buried in black—with

Eden hes found that with the
growth of nationalism the tem-

since before the last war when
he resigned his cabinet post in
protest of the attempt at ap-
peasement. More than ever it is
clear that nations must hold
council for peace instead of war.

The memory selection has
been called • the .climax of Old

God's favor. Many have sacri-
ficed their children hoping to
appease the wrath of the gods.
But God wants us to do righte-
ously. With this must be coupled
the love of mercy. This will keep
us from being legalists. Then we
will have fellowship with God,
to walk humbly with him, This
requirement may be stated in
different ways but it doesn't
change, Only by Confession of
our sins and faith in Jesus
Christ will our heart 'be changed
so that we can fulfill the re-
quirement.

So dependable was Norman,

grandfather having ridden him
to the city, met a friend who ex-
pressed'a wish to drive back to

quite plain that his only need

it was soon noticed by other in-

the hour-long drive to a mili-

of his responsibility as a "prof;

plucked himself a boutonniere,
Sure enough — the "prop"' in
the picture is-the one Mr, Vidor
brought. None ,of the oth4s had
remembered.
From the beginning, Mr. Vidor
recalls, it was different from
Hollywood. He had been deter-
mined; when he was chosen as
director by the corporation
companies of Carlo Ponti and
Dino deLaurentiis in Italy and
Paramount Pictures Corporation
in Hollywood, that he would not
try to "bring , Hollywood to
Italy." He took with him one
assistant and an art director,
The plan was to use Italian
crews.
On the first day, the, inter-
preters appeared, They were
crowded around an electric stove
in a' tiny, freezing office, along
with the producers, Mr. Vidor,
and the rest of the staff. For the
first film tests, too, the crew and
the actors spoke only Italian.
In order to get cameras :rolling
by the end of June, Mr. Vidor
had to accomplish extraordinary
feats of diplomacy and coordin-
ation. He told his two assist-
ants: "We just gannet afford the
luxury of worry."
After R. C. Sherriff refused to
go to Italy to work, after 'two
other English writers turned out
a 30 page summary treatment,
and after'" Irwin Shaw turned
over a. basic script, it was still
Mr. Victor's job to get tha show

tiger writers, but the framework _
from the beginning was his. He
took a copy of the Heritage
Press edition of the Tolstoy
novel and picked the scenes he
liked--e"scenes that would make
good movie material," He
studied the 19th century, paint-
ings by Vassily Verestchagin, in-
t eluding the one of Napoleon
watching the battle of Borodino
with his legs stetched onto a
drum (it's in the film). He
worked on the script all during
production even while riding to
work each day, „.

Mr. Vidor was forced to go to
work in the morning without a
script. "We just had to have
faith," he says, "that the ideas
would come and would fit into
their right place, Poi' instance,
we had only three days off to
prepare the big" battle,"
It was Mr, Vidor's first pro-
duetion in Italy (he had been,
overseas before, with "The Cita

know the country was a source

The warning applies with' par-
ticular force to farmers, for a
study by the Institute of Makers
of Explosives shows that 40 per
cent. of all blasting cap accidents
m ' which children are blinded
or maimed occur on farms. This
is a disproportionate ratio for
farmers as a group use only
about one per cent of the caps.
Industry is by far the largest
user. The need for greater pre-
cautions in handling caps on the
'farm is readily apparent,
Safety' authcfrities offer these
suggestions:
1. Never cache caps for fu-
ture use. They can be forgotten
and years later seriously injure
some child, Many aecidents can
be traced to children,, finding
caps that have been tucked away
in barns, garages, tool sheds and
other out-buildings. '
2. .Co reduce this hatard, dis-
pose of all unused caps;-as soon
as the job is finished. -Consult
your local licensed explosives
dealer or county agent On -how to
dispose of them safely,
3. Teach your children to
know a cap at sight, Tell them
of the danger,
4. Warn them: "Don't play
with blasting caps .. don't even
touch them," *
Blasting caps are just the `kind
of mystesious. looking little things
Thai children like to pick up and
play with. They are coppeee or
aluminum cylinders about as big
around- as a pencil and vary in
length from one to five and one-
half inches. Whets a child finds
a cap he has an almost irresistible
urge to hit it with a rock or
probe it with a knife. This is
almost certain to explode the
sensitive charge in the cap.

Accidents kill more young-
sters than disease. -Seven thous-
and farm and city children in
1955, between the ages of one
and fourteen, died as a result of
home 'accidents, most of which
could have been prevented. Are
your children safe 'from this
threat? Are the following pre-
cautions taken in your home and
on the farm to make them safe?
Take a minute to check against
these major threats to the safety,.
of your' family and resolve to el-
- iminate them now,
Falls are the leading hazard to
farm people in all regions; they
account for one-fourth of the ac-
cidents. Disorder can be a cause
tOr falls — toys, tools and equip-
ment left lying about. Remove
the _things you can trip over,
slip on or fall from. Provide
proper storage 'places for these
and you remove -many a poten-
tial accident. Make sure that
screens are fastened securely.
Guard your child from perilous
climbs. Use an extension gate at
the. top of stairs to prevent tod-
dlers from spills.
Abandoned furniture and re-
frigerators are a great source of
"play" for children. Cabinet
doors swollen with age and
dampness often stick and old
refrigerator doors too. heavy to
push outward can suffebate ,a
youngster shut behind 'them.
Prevent this by removing hinges
and, punching holes in them be-
fore .you store or discard them.
A law haS just been Passed re-
quiring manufacturers, within
the next, two years, to put a safe-
ty'device on refrigerators to pre-
vent a child front being locked
in. One manufacturer has • al-
ready solved this problem by
putting a magnetic door device
on its refrigerators that small
children can push open from the
inside.
Webihery and the, handling of
livestock is associated with two-
thirds of the fatal form accidents.
Make it your business to keep
small tots from playing near
tractors, cornpickets and shel-
lees and from wandering about
w i thout supervision, Keep them
from jumping on or off machines
to prevent the chances of top-
pling. Don't encourage your
children to drive a tractor when
too young: they haven't the
strength to handle it adequately;
their judgment isn't developed
enough to recognize danger in
time.
