Arthur Fields

Arthur Fields (August 6, 1888 – March 29, 1953) was a United States singer (baritone) and songwriter.

Grey Gull record from late 1921 featuring Arthur Fields singing Weep No More, My Mammy.

He was born Abe Finkelstein in Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, but grew up mainly in Utica, New York. He became a professional singer as a youngster. Around 1908 he toured with Guy Brother’s Minstrel Show, and helped form a vaudeville act “Weston, Fields and Carroll”.

His first hit as a songwriter was On The Mississippi (1912) which he wrote the music for with Harry Carroll and Ballard MacDonald supplied the lyrics. In 1914 he wrote the lyrics to Aba Daba Honeymoon, which was revived for the 1950 M.G.M. film Two Weeks With Love and thus got a renewed popularity which brought Fields large royalty incomes during his last two years.

From 1914 onwards he recorded with many bands and for many labels and had a varied career in the recording industry. His 1919 recordings with bandleader Ford Dabney may be the very first recordings of a white singer backed by a black band. For a period Fields also formed a vocal trio with brothers Jack and Irving Kaufman, billing themselves as “The Three Kaufields”. Fields also often appeared on records under pseudonyms, for example as “Mr X.” on Grey Gull Records and related labels. His last records were made in the early 1940s.

Among Field’s most prolific partnerships was the one with band leader and pianist Fred Hall, with whom Fields made plenty of records and co-wrote several songs, often with comic titles like The Shoes We Have Left Are All Right and I Can’t Sleep In The Movies Anymore. Hall and Fields also broadcasted together as Rex Cole’s Mountaineers.

Retiring to Florida in 1946 he also worked in radio on WKAT Miami. He suffered a stroke early in 1953 and was killed in a fire at Littlefield Convalescent Home a little later the same year.

Samira Shahbandar was allegedly Saddam Hussein’s second wife. She is supposedly the mother of his third son, Ali, though members of Saddam’s family claim that Ali is actually his grandson. Samira Shahbandar is of Iranian descent.

Biography

She was introduced to Saddam by one of his favorite servants, Kamel Hana Gegeo. She became Saddam’s mistress. She is described as tall, blond, and from a merchant family from Baghdad. Saddam may have secretly married Samira while married to Sajida Talfah, his first wife. Sajida was jealous and humiliated. Sajida’s brother Adnan Khairallah complained about Saddam’s mistress. Adnan was killed in a helicopter crash, caused by “mechanical failure.” Saddam’s bodyguard said that Saddam told him to place a bomb on the helicopter.

Uday Hussein, son of Saddam and Sajida, was also angry over his father’s mistress. Uday believed that his inheritance was endangered by the mistress. He took it as an insult to his mother. In October 1988, at a party thrown in the honor of Suzanne Mubarak, the wife of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Uday beat and stabbed Gegeo to death (some say at the request of his mother), bludgeoning Gegeo repeatedly in front of horrified guests. Saddam declared that Uday would go to trial for murder. The parents of Gegeo (and Sajida herself) begged that Uday be pardoned. Uday was pardoned and banished temporarily to Switzerland.

It is believed that Saddam’s location was discovered by Mossad agents who intercepted phone calls between Saddam and Samira. The Saudi daily Okaz theorized that Samira Al-Shahbandar may have been the source of information that led to Saddam’s capture during Operation Red Dawn. “It is possible,” writes Okaz, that “for delivering the head of her husband she will receive the award of $25 million,” offered by the U.S. for information leading to Saddam’s arrest or killing.

Samira lives in Beirut.

Her character has recently been featured heavily in the plot of BBC adaptation House of Saddam and she is being played by Australian actress Christine Stephen-Daly.

The Cadet Nurse Program was supervised by the United States Public Health Service (PHS)

After entering World War II, it became clear that America would soon face a critical shortage of nurses nationwide. As the war progressed, the demand for nurses increased dramatically, outstripping the supply and creating a nursing shortage.

Somehow, massive numbers of nurse students had to be educated. Therefore, the instructional staff and the facilities of existing civilian schools of nursing needed to be strengthened. An emergency measure was considered faster and more economical than reinstituting the Army School of Nursing or building similar military schools based in hospitals. Additionally, the nurse students could receive accelerated training and their services could be used while they were in training. This way, more graduate nurses could be freed for military service overseas. These plans meant that civilian and military communities received substitute nurse care from student nurses on the home-front. The plans became concrete when Representative Frances P. Bolton of Ohio introduced a bill on 29 March 1943.

The bill requested the establishment of a special government program to facilitate the training of nurses. The nurse applicants should be granted subsidization of nursing school tuition and associated expenses as well as expedited (i.e., very shortened) training. In exchange, it was demanded that the applicants provide “military or other Federal governmental or essential civilian (nursing) services for the duration of the present war.“ In addition, the bill provided certain funds for participating accredited nursing schools. This measure tried to ensure that as many nursing schools as possible would take part in the Cadet Nurse program. The Nurse Training Act (known as the Bolton Act) passed through Congress unanimously. The bill was signed by the President on June 15, 1943, and became effective as Public Law 74 on July 1, 1943.

The Cadet Nurse Corps (originally designated the “Victory Nurse Corps“) would be administered by the United States Public Health Service (PHS). The Division of Nurse Education was established in the PHS to supervise the Cadet Nurse Corps and was answerable to US Surgeon General Thomas Parran, Jr.. Parran appointed Lucile Petry, who was an actual registered nurse (RN), Director of the Cadet Nurse Corps.

The Nursing schools throughout the country were informed of the new Corps and invited to join. Schools who wanted to take part in the Cadet Nurse program had to fulfill minimal requirements. The school had to be accredited and be affiliated with a hospital approved by the American College of Surgeons. The staff and the facilities had to be adequate, but superior standards were not required. Schools with substandard conditions were not rejected, but supported with funds from the Corps to improve their training possibilities. When the Cadet Nurse program ended, 1,125 from 1,300 of the Nation’s nursing schools had participated.
