1,572 Tribesmen ;
In African Film
When 400 members of the Wa- |
kamba tribe were hired to per
form their spectacular tribal
dance for M-G-M's Technicolor
adventure drama, "King Solo
mon's Mines," filmed on location I
in Equatorial Africa, the pic
ture’s directors, Compton Bennett I
and Andrew Marton, got more j
• than they had bargained for.
Instead of 400 'natives appear- 1
ing for the sequence, 1,572 Wa
kambas showed up, bv actual
count, and, geting into the spirit j
of the occasion, danced day and
night for three days without in
terruption.
The sequence of the thrill-pack
ed picture, showing at the Viccar
Theatre, Sunday through Wednes
day, was at Machakos, oldest
town on the East African coast,
where stars Deborah Kerr, Ste
• wart Granger and Richard Carl
son enacted scenes against a back
ground of the native dances.
Unusual Weather
Just The Thing
The M-G-M troupe which trav-1
a eled to Africa to film "King Solo-^
mon's Mines" found "unusual1
weather" even in Africa. At Mur- |
ehison Falls on the Victoria-Nile
River, the location company en-.
countered a record temperature'
of 152 degrees. However, it seems
that the unprecedented heat fitted
neatly into the picture’s script
The scenes at this point were
supposed to show Deborah Kerr,
Stewart Granger and Richard 1
^ Carlson completely exhausted.
Two minutes in that sun, and i
they were!
"King Solomon's Mines” plays
at the Viccar Theatre Sunday!
through Wednesday.
Electric lights are being used }
in laying houses by many poultry
men. The purpose is to stimulate
higher egg production and aid in
^preventing fall moult in early j
riatched pullets.

Ford Announces
New 1951 Trucks
Ford Division today announced
new Ford trucks for 1951, includ
ing more than 180 models design
ed to reduce operating costs, make
trucks adaptable to more jobs and
to add driver convenience and
comfort.
L. D. Crusoe, vice-president and
general manager. Ford Division,
Ford Motor Company, announced
scores of engineering, styling and
safety improvements covering the
four Ford truck engines, chassis
changes and introduction of a
new “5-Star Extra" cab.
New Ford trucks feature auto
matic Power Pilot carburetion
ignition control on all engines.
The system provides power with
economy by metering and firing
the correct amount of fuel at the
right instant under varying loads
without spark knock.
The cab and front end have
been restyled to give a more rug
ged and smarter appearance. The
rear window was redesigned and
enlarged to more than three and
one-half feet for full range vision.
A new instrument panel incor
porates new full-vision instru
ments, rheostat type instrument
light switch and a hand throttle
on all conventional models.
Weather sealing on doors is im
proved, anJ the floor pan area
also is sealed against weather and
fumes. Dual windshield wipers
are standard equipment and posi
tioned to give a full pattern on the
one-piece windshield
A steering column gearshift on
F-l light duty models provides
more cab and floor space. Perfor
mance of the F-l truck has been
improved by changing the rear
axle ratio from 3.73-to-l.
The standard three-speed trans
mission for the F-l has been re
designed for more rugged loads,
longer wear and easy shifting. It
has constant mesh helical gears
with synchornizers in second and
third speeds.
Distribution of braking force
on F-4, F-5 and F'-ti trucks was
modified to obtain better balanc
ed braking and longer lining life.
The clutch disc on F-7 and F-3
1'nvy trucks has been made more
lgged for severe service. F-l,
-2 and F-3 trucks have new
ont bumbers.
Cast spoke wheels with do
lountable rims to provide intcr
langeability with trailer wheels
are now standard on F-7 and F-tl
models, but steel disc wheels still
are available.
Engines have been improved to
reduce operating costs and make
them quieter. All now have
chrome top piston rings, autho
thermic expansion control pistons
and new high-lift camshafts
Offset piston pins now are used
on 95 h. p. 6-cylinder and 100 h.
p. VU engines to insure quiet op
eration. On F-7 aqd F-8 trucks,
coolant distribution is improved
by means of a larger radiator
tank and water by-pass tubes on
the engine.
Exhaust valve stems on all
engines are nitrided to help pre
vent valve sticking. New semi
rotating valves anil valve spring
retainers also are aimed at pre
venting valve sticking and at
prolonging valve life.
A new “5-Stur Extra" cab is
optional equipment on the 1951
Ford truck fleet. It is sound
proofed with undercoating on the
floor, spray-on material on the
doors and back panel and with
roof insulation
