MOVIE WON ELEVEN ACADEMY AWARDS

undefined

Clocking in at three hours and 32 minutes, William Wyler’s
Technicolor epic Ben-Hur was the behemoth entry at the
32nd annual Academy Awards ceremony, held on this day
in 1960, at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.

Setting an Oscar record, the film sweeps 11 of the 12
categories in which it was nominated, including Best
Picture, Best Director and Best Actor (Charlton Heston).

Wyler’s 1959 film was the latest dramatic adaptation of the
mega-bestselling novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ,
published in 1880 by Lew Wallace. Wallace, a former
general in the
American Civil War, wrote his most
successful novel after experiencing a new awakening
of his Christian faith.

YOU CAN HELP AN ADVERTISING ICON

The first Smokey the Bear poster – WatsonsWander

Smokey Bear is a campaign and advertising icon of the U.S.
Forest Service
in the Wildfire Prevention Campaign, the 
longest-running public service announcement campaign
in United States history. The
Ad Council, the United States
Forest Service
(USFS), and the National Association of State
Foresters
(NASF), in partnership with creative agency FCB,
employ Smokey Bear to educate the public about the dangers
of unplanned human-caused
wildfires.     

A campaign began in 1944 featuring Smokey and the slogan
"Smokey Says – Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires".

His slogan changed to "Remember, Only YOU Can Prevent
Forest Fires" in 1947 and was associated with Smokey Bear
for more than five decades, In April 2001, the message was
officially updated to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires."
