Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1928)

Page Eight of Pep-O-Grums Cold Weather and Fresh Air Printing a story sent us by the National Tuberculosis Association once a year makes us bitterly regret that we are not Boy Scouts and able to do a good turn like this every day of the year. The aims and purposes of this Association make it one of the most meritorious in the loorld, and we should all be proud and happy in the ease zvith zvhich it permits us to help, in a pleasing and lasting fashion, those zohom fate has been less kind to than it has been to us. In fact it’s not too much to ask you to double for this year the number of Christmas Scat Stamps you used last year. This is the season when the thermometer and the windows go down at the same time. With the arrival of the first chill breeze sashes are lowered and doors closed against the outdoor air as against a bitter enemy. This is a system that has its drawbacks, however. It is well enough to protect ourselves against cold, but in shunning fresh j air too much, we are apt to run the risk of ' lowering our resistance against disease. No air is so healthful as outdoor air, and we need a quantity of it every day in order to keep well. Now that the winter is upon us, let us not neglect to keep our bedroom windows open while we sleep. In an era of electric pads, hot water bottles and warm, light covering, there is no reason why we cannot have a comfortable night’s rest in a cold room. Only in very severe climates is it perhaps advisable not to keep the windows wide open at night. Moreover, we can work more efficiently and more contentedly in home, shop or of fice, if the windows are opened for a few minutes several times a day. And let us remember that a brisk, daily walk tones up the system so that we do not feel the cold so much. To educate the public in the value of fresh air and in disease prevention, the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated organizations are conducting the twenty-first Christmas seal sale. FACTS ABOUT THE FOREIGN FOLKS * * By the IPatchman in the Terwer at the Crossroads of the World * * The Tentli Floor is still the scene of a continuous ebb and flow of personalities of the world-wide organization of Paramount. Adolphe Osso, general manager of the French organization, and Henri Klarsfeld, his sales manager, have been visiting with us for the past few weeks, Melville A. Shauer, past president of the Club, and special representative for Home Office in Europe, went recently from Paris to attend the oi)ening of a Paramount-managed theatre, the China, in Stockholm, Sweden. Mildred Chereskin, private secretary to George Weltner, announces that December 9th will be a very important day in her life — an orange blossom day. John B. Nathan, a Club member formerly stationed at Panama, is now an integral part of the business activity of Havana, Cuba. Eddie Ugast, who knows how, when, where and why all of the popular songs of the day were written, finds but few spare moments in which to free himself from the activity which seems inseparable to the north-eastern corner of room 10(17. Anne J. LeViness recently displayed a broad-minded internationalness by conducting a spring cleaning in the fall. A COUPLE OF PUBLIX PEPLICATIONS As a popular dispenser of the aims and ideals of both the Parameunt and Publix organizations we welcome with much genuine gusto the periodical advent of two other bright Peplications published within a stone’s throw of the Parameunt Building. One of these is The Rivoli Spotlight, a newsy and inspiration-crammed mimeographed booklet published every two weeks at the celebrated theatre at Broadway and 49th. The other is Rialtopics, which made its bow in late October from the theatre where “Wings” is now whirring merrily, and which has such attractive attributes in the matter cl cleverness and newsiness that we predict a lasting success for it. The Date of Dates “Can you give me any well-known date in Roman history?” asked the teacher. “I can, teacher,” said one pupil. “Anthony’s with Cleopatra.”
