(UPI Acci dents this year are likely to claim the lives of about 10,000 children irttthe U.S. ranging in age from infancy to 9 years. This prediction is based on the records of past years, according to Marguerite Olson, a home management specialist at the North Dakota Agricultural col lege. Suffocation is the greateset dan ger to babies under one year old, she warns, so watch out for pil lows, excessive coverings and clothing in which baby can bury himself. Children in pre-school and ear ly school years are threatened most by traffic. Try to make sure these children are always within reach and never take your eyes off them when they are moving. Burns run a close second to traffic as a cause of accidental death among pre-school children, and the most dangerous spot is the kitchen. Drownings also rank high. If the telephone takes you laway from a child in a tub, play it safe and lake him with you. When qcu Want...

Sometimes, con fesses Robert Stevens, they don't. When Stevens was directing TV s Suspense series about a decade ago, his casts included such young sters as Grace Kelly, Paul New man, Joanne Woodward. Jimmy Dean, Rod Steiger and Jo Van Fleet. 'It was impossible to say at that time that any of them would be the big stars they later became," said Stevens, who himself went on to win an Emmy award in 1957 for his work on Alfred Hitchcock Presents series. The best prospect for stardom. Stevens recalls, was Paul New man. . "He had the. good looks and the talent, but he was still Just a beginner. He took direction well and learned quickly. I guess he was the best prospect." The late Jimmy Dean? Dean seemed to me to be very ambitious and intense, but he didn't strike me as being a very good actor. That just proves how wrong I was," Stevens added. Grace Kelly? "She was amaz ingly good when you consider how attractive she was. What I mean is that usually the beautiful girls can't act their way out of a paper bag. But Grace had good acting training, was very ambitious and always a lady." Stevens thought Joanne Wood ward would become a fine actress. But I had no idea she would go on to win an Academy Award." Rod Steiger was Stevens per petual "heavy." He always work ed as a "bad guy." "Today. Steiger is probably the best 'heavy in the business," said Stevens. Jo Van Fleet was one of the di rector's favorites. "She was and is a truly fine actress who really knows her business. I have great admiration for her."

Eaton's NEW Oregon Centennial STATIONERY WITH THE OFFICIAL CENTENNIAL SEAL IN GOLD IMPRINT Boxed . . . 2.00 McGLASSONS STATIONERY 1104 Adams Dear Anm Eight couplets have formed a club. We've knowo e.'h other for about 10 years. Kvery two weeks we meet in our homes, enjoy a cocktail hour, have dinner, dance, play records or just talk. For the past several months there's been a definite pairing iiff of couples tnot mates). To be frank, there's been some social necking going on in the corri dors, pantry, etc. There's one rather attractive woman in the crowd who can't keep her hands oft my husband. She makes a B line for him when ever we walk through the door. We've had some terrible argu nit nts over her and he always says the same thing, "We'er just having innocent fun. She means nothing to me so stop be ing jealous. Apparently her husband does n't mind because he's busy with a dishwater blonde. Is this the style these days flirting in small groups? I'd like to call a halt Lut I don't want to look like a prude. What shall I say to my I usband the next time this prob lem comes up? Old Fashined Girl, ' . Dear O.F.G.: You refer to the shenanigans at "social necking."' This is a neat phrase, but what does it mean? Is there any OTHER kind if necping? In my opin ion you ought to pull out of this mixed-up little group, "Pairing off" is cheap and it's Immoral; It's a threat to every one ef your marriages. Your husband's defense is a mean ingless collection of words. Tell him exactly where you ; stand and find some new - friends whose morals match ; yours. Dear Ann Landers: My 15-year- old sister is making life a hell for j me. My husband just got out of I 31 the service and he's having trou ble finding work.

Don't you think the folks should have stood up fur t'S? Pink Shoe Lace. Dear Pink; When yaur folks jutt stood there and didn't say anything it was tacit approval ef yaur sitter's remarks.
