Action (May 1941 - Mar 1958)

scratches occur, skin diseases are less likely to follow. Of course, bathing the whole body is a close second in importance. A daily bath removes dangerous dirt all over, just as hand washing does from the hands. Some people are pepped up by a cold shower; others find that tired muscles are relieved best by a warm tub bath. At bedtime a warm bath rests jumpy nerves and induces sleep too. SPARKS FROM THE "ARCS" By Lee Dunbar \A/ELL, fellows, the location boys are back and from what 1 hear there was a lot of work but as usual a lot of fun. The fellows who made up the location crew were: Dave Anderson (Gaffer], Larry Earhart (best boy), Operators Carl Cabibi, Earl Spicer, Ray Gilbert, Sandy Sandsbury, Jack Dimmack, Grover Jones and Vaughn Ashen. By the way, Emerson Hartman was in town last week and really looked swell in his uniform. He seems to like the Army quite a bit and says, "Brother, those Japs are going to really catch ." I understand that Jimmie James is knocking off a little bit of that well known tummy. Jimmie says that it’s going to be the Navy for him for some time. Incidentally, the last blackout caught the Schuster crew at the King's Farm. And it was one of the first outfits to heed the warning signal. Well, boys, it looks like by the time you get this "Action," you will have the good old retroactive back pay. We hope. If I might, I would like to mention a couple of the boys in the Camera Department. Bobby Mack, for instance, has just passed his physical and he is A1 to his Uncle as well as to Helen. Roy Ivey is going most any day: in fact, they call him Sergeant. Slim Thorn with his new slide rule will take the thorns out of a lot of calculating and figuring. His new gag will figure the hours and rate of pay per day, but won't tell time. Ellis Johnstone has been putting in a lot of hours and says that he can really use them. Can't we all? It's that old money that we need. Maynard Paige, who is more often called "Rumor Paige," says, "Brother, we have them on the run." Whether he is speaking about the Japs or the time office, I don't know. Well, we have just finished one of the sweetest pictures that I have ever had the pleasure of working on, and I'd like to say that Perc Ikerd is really a honey, and I'm not saying that because he is from the deep South. Vaughn Ashen has gone around the lot on a good mission. He is selling bonds. If you don’t see Mr. Ashen, you can contact Ralph Woodland or Aaron in the office. Let's throw the Japs over Dfence, by buying bonds for Defense. "ROSY" ROSEN Mr. and Mrs. Rosen have just announced the engagement of their daughter, Dorothy, to Mr. Larry Bliss. Mr. Bliss is a Minneapolis, Minn., man, but for the duration is with Uncle Sam s army. Cf course, the wedding date cannot be definitely set at present, but we all hope it won't be long. Dorothy Is employed in the Script Department. PROMOTION Jac k Hamilton has left the Script Department to take a better position in Mechanical Effects Department. We wish you success In your new position and know that you will find the new work very Interesting. (I was there.) MAINTENANTICS SURE a funny race at Santa Anita. I can't think of a better place to practice running. HIrohito will soon find that the heato part of his name sounds like the seat of his pants will feel. If the Japs were surprised when we bombed Tokyo, they will be more surprised to find that they have started a war, a little later on. If you know Rosy, like I know Rosy, you will know that he will make a good father-in-law. I mean by that to tell you that his very lovely daughter, Dorothy, who has recently joined our script department, Is engaged to a very fine young fellow by the name of Larry Bliss. He hails from Minneapolis, but we hope to acclimatize him. Of course, our Uncle Sam Is going to guide his future actions somewhat, so I can't say just when the nuptials will be celebrated, but the youngsters can be sure that we all wish them our best. I am sorry to say that our master signpainter, Joe Frigone, has been ill for some time past, and so far we have had no word as to just when we can expect him back. I miss his sound logic, because our lunch-time discussions have lost some of the spice that he flavored them with. To many of Jesse Jones' friends the news that he has had to have his foot amputated will come as a shock. As many of you know, he has been confined to the hospital for months, but all efforts to save the foot proved hopeless. The recent advent of the military trucks touring the lot recalls many past experiences of my own. In the last war I rode about six miles In one, and pushed it about three hundred through the French mud. One rainy night we ran out of chewing tobacco. Not being allowed to smoke, we all wanted a chew, so I hopped off and bought some of the kind that the French used. I have not chewed since, and I am sure that those that survived haven't either. It was worse than crossing the Channel. Our service flag has been adorned with a new group of stars. We can look with pride and with a feeling of gratitude because they represent those of us that had the loyalty and patriotism, the courage and willingness to sacrifice their personal interests to help perpetuate all those liberties and free doms that we enjoy. Either we do good work, or some of you have been doing like the little Dutch boy and are stopping up the dike. We have had so few calls to stem a flood In the last rains that I believe that we have succeeded In finding the leaks before they have sprung. Trying for success Is like a dog scratching for a flea. He Isn't sure just where It is, but he keeps scratching. The naked truth often has to blush. This tire business makes me tired. Before a guy marries he runs around. After he marries he still goes around In circles. Bonds are bombs for Tokyo. We must close the market, or Hitler will carve a little Turkey before Thanksgiving. Buy bonds and you will give TANKS. Don't forget the National Inventors Council. I will help you If you need my assistance. Our department Is as close as your phone, so If you should see needed repairs, or a hazardous condition anywhere on the lot, please call us — Station 508. A. O. WILLIAMS, M. and F. Dept. It seems that a few days back Mr. David Alleman, our Insurance Specialist, was leaving the Cafe de Paris and he has conversation with a very nice lady named Lottie. Anyone happening to hear this conversation would think that our Insurance man hadn't read an article In the April edition of "Action" — page II. Incidentally, Dave furnished this copy for "Action." POLICE PALAVER By Mary Jane Sobel WILL try to take a few minutes away from writing up defense bond sales to let you all in on what goes on these days in the little white bungalow by the Tennessee Gate. With the present war savings bond drive still In its Infancy, our department has already signed up almost 100 per cent. Credit for this is due to the splendid efforts of our four newly appointed deputies. They are: John Klein, Sergeant Jack Wortman, and Lieutenant Dewey Stockton, representing each 4
