Huston as Noah Michael Parks as Adam The film also introduces Ulla as Eve In bringing Bible to the screen De Huston and Fry were determined from the outset to avoid set patterns of past Biblical films that were conceived only with isolated stories Their goal was to portray Biblical text and characters with fidelity and in the hope that the story of kind's beginnings would liave significance for people of the modern world Because of the subject and the tremendous scope of the production Producer De had his staff of creative artists working for three years on the research and writing before even a camera turned He surrounded himself with some of the world's fore- most artists and technical ex- perts all of whom made sure that went on the screen was actually part of the Good Book and not simply a writer's dream The tremendous size and scope of this production can best be judged from a tion of its background sets without doubt the most ever designed and con- for any motion picture

in ingston All those engaged in retail trade should carefully consider the effect pari mutuel race betting could on legitimate business in their communities Proponents of pari mutuel betting claim that it will stimulate business in Texas But the record in other states shows on the con- trary tint many businesses suffer after race gambling is legalized It is not difficult to understand why retail stores should experience decreases in time payments increases in bad checks and ing sales during the racing season Business real business fills a need betting produces nothing of value It does not feed clothe house or transport people Profits from pari mutuel betting do not go back into the community They go into the hands of the people who arc able to finance a race track On the other hand gambling re- duces the disposable income of families who would otherwise spend more for useful ducts and services Pari mutuel betting proposed in the referendum on May 4 ballot will drain away wages savings and investments from Texas business into enterprises which serve no human need Local business firms cannot even hope to supply equipment to the race tracks all the mechanical and electronic equipment needed must be rented from one firm It cannot be purchased Senator Estes Kefauver wrote in his book CHIME AMERICA Whenever gambling is allowed to exist legally or illegally money is taken out of normal and legitimate channels of commerce and when gambling is minimized business flourishes There is abundant evidence to support this statement Gambling is bad business Gambling is bad for business To keep Texas betting out of Texas Vote against the pari mutuel referendum on May 4
