DeSarro has wooed Lady Luck successfully these days. He won the football pool, twice this season. Last week’s pool was won by Joe O’Sullivan. The well-known Irish luck. Has anybody noticed Frank Droesch’s new hat? Joe Sanfilippo and Harry Storr, Pro- jectionists, are very proud of the ap- pearance of the 10th Floor Projection Room. New red drapes have been hung, red plush carpet has been laid, and ash holders attached to the back of every chair. Swellelegant. Jack Kyle requested at Saturday’s scrieen- ing that none of the ash holders be transported. Welcome to Ewing Dinnen, who has been ad- ded to Mr. Furst’s staff of Elevator Operators. Bob Hawkinson, Foreign Dept., was on jury duty last week. Bill Moller, strong kid of the Foreign Dept., celebrated his birthday last Saturday, and got quite a number of presents from the stenos. He says it’s his 20th. (?) “RUT” SLOWED UP Rutgers Neilson, Exploiteer, etc., etc., has been coming to work handicapped by a heavy cold. He couldn’t talk, but that didn’t prevent him from carrying on, and the old “L.C.” was heard clicking away at high speed. This gave “Old Man Flu” a chance to get a good c'inch, and Rut- gers had to give in temporarily. The “do or die” spirit is still there, however, and we hope to see him fully recovered soon. The Scotch is coming, Rut! Georgetown being The Scout’s favorite team, Bert Sanford lost the N. Y. I*.—Georgetown bc‘ we always have on when these two teams get going. Yep, two pair of hosiery. Cupid’s arrow pierces another Pa- ine Pretty's heart, says The Scout, New York Exchange. Wed- ding bells will soon be ringing for Syd Feldman who, on De- cember 22nd, will promise to love, hon- or and obey Murray Lautenberg, of Pater- son, N. J. Here’s happiness. When N. Y. U. plays Carnegie-Tech on No- vember 28th, we know someone who’s going to be a Pittsburgh rooter, writes The Scout. Congratulations to Bill Heitmann, of the Jersey City Supply Dept., who was married recently. Good luck, Bill. C The Jersey City correspondent says they don’t eat sandwiches in the o ce any more, be- cause Miss Sittenreich and the other girls were losing weight with great abandon. Believe it or not, writes The Scout, Charlie Kenneth, New Jersey Salesman, has a canary bird he calls “Bonus." Reason? Very simple. He bought it with Pathe bonus money he received on News contracts. NOW YOU TELL ONE— Harry Smith, who took Camion 303 to the Coast, was telling the Pathe Sound News gang how he posed a lion with his portable Sound News outfit. It made a good story, particularly as Harry had the pictures to prove it, and all were impressed, with the exception of Karl Fasold, President’s Cameraman, globe trotter, etc. “Why that would be duck soup for me,” said Karl. “I once fed a rattlesnake with a straw.” “Oh, yeah,” piped Helen Feldman Secretary to Jack Darrock. “How long was the straw?” Silence. The entire Pathe organization ex- tends heartfelt sympathy to Anna Tranzillo, Asst. Librarian and Sec- retary to Mr. Franconi, in the loss of her Father, who died on Novem- ber 19th. AND NOW FOR THE FIGHT SHE’S THERE Mr. Clarke, Milwaukee Br. Mgr., has been busy for the past few days ack- nowledging telegrams and letters of Congratulations received on our Success in the recent COCK FIGHT, writes M. Spielvogel, his sec’y. Among those received here are the fol- lowing from Executives and Branches: Phil Reisman, Gen’l. Sales Mgr. S. C. Jacques, Cent. Div. Sales Mgr. H. S. Lorch. Tom North. W. E. Raynor. J. H. MacIntyre. RARIN’ TO GO Mr. Strubank, Block “B” Salesman, was the winner of the special prize, an electric razor, given by Mr. Tom North to the Salesman selling the most units of Fables, Topics and Sportlights from August 23rd to November 9th. Fred Bonnem, Block “D” Salesman, was a close second and insisted on a recount. Mr. Chapman, Block “A” Salesman, was third, and Mr. Runkle, Block “C” Sales- man, was fourth. Now that the Con- test is over, we are rarin’ to go for the next, and any Branch that beats us will certainly have to go some, writes Dena Peripsky, Detroit. Mrs. Goldenberg, nee Jean Adelson, our switch- board operator, has just returned to the office after a short absence, due to the illness of her husband. Mr. Goldenberg was taken ill suddenly with acute appendicitis, and was operated on im- mediately. We are very happy to know that he is now well on the road to recovery, and Jean is her happy little self again. Dories Eastley, of the Inspection Department, is the recipient of a five-year Service pin, and is very much elated over it, says Dena I’clip sky. After four and a half years of faithful service, Mrs. Lillian Clement, inspectress, Washington, tendered her resignation last Friday. Quiet of nature, willing to help at all times, she was al- ways the cooperative worker. We all wish Mrs. Clement luck in any future undertakings. Blessed with three lovely children, one of her girls a graduate of Mayland State, the other, graduate of Central High, and her boy a student at the Bliss Electrical college, we suppose the lure of home life, was far more appealing to Mrs. Clement than inspecting films. Mrs. Virgie Farmer will succeed Mrs. Clement. Good luck, Virgie, says A. P. Abell. In “Love, Honor and Oh, Baby,” a LeMaire comedy, the gals will see an elaborate fashion pageant, with 20 internationally famous mannikins wearing fur coats by Mouliere, and gowns created by Rejane Costumes, Ind., front designs by Mouliere. The snappiest, classiest, knowingest, non-forgettinest Switchboard Operator in the U. S. A. is Violet Braun, writes Tom North, and she dominates the big board at Harry Lorch’s Chicago Branch, which also includes the fast steppin’ Gene Cour, and his sound gang on Pathe News. If you think that a gal at a switch- board does not have to be wide awake and know her slots, plugs and numbers, why you’re just crazy, that’s all. And if you don’t think Vi knows all of the above lined things, why just snap a number at her and see how quickly she knows her groceries. In addition to the Harry Lorch crew and the Gene Cour crew, Vi also has the tie-up with “Neck-bones” Johnson, and his Chicago Tribune gang of snappy still picture men. “Neck-bones” is also tied up with Pathe News, so all in all, the popular Vi keeps everybody smiling and happy. The Pathe Rooster made quite a show- ing in the New Orleans Branch this week, writes Viola Bernos. Manager G. C. Brown and Booker J. D. Duffy re- ceived five-year Service Pins, which they had been anxiously waiting for. Our little assistant in the Cashier’s Dept., Florence S t e h 1 ing, gave us a surprise when she r e c e n 11 v made Her debut as “Chorus Girl” in The Minstrel Maids, giv- en by the U. C. D. A’s, says Viola Bernos, New Orleans. It is necessary that we give a great big hand to the Beau Brummel of the Philadelphia Sales Force, Eli Ginsburg, writes W. DoNahme. Eli has just grabbed a $75.00 prize for his standing in the last drive for the salesmen, and now the board-walk at Atlantic City will get an awful play, for through his extraordinary sales ability along the entire seashore dis- trict he is able at all times to keep up with the money boys. You will note that Eli is now in fourth place in the Silver Jubilee Drive, and that it looks like he’ll take another prize. PROUD DADDY Joe Woodward was all smiles the other day. Reason, a baby daughter, who arrived November 18th. Tom North was almost as excited as the father, and dashed this telegram to the Sun office: Joe Woodward one of Harry Lorch’s fast stepping salesmen: just rushed into the Chicago office with a signed gold seal con- tract in shape of a new baby girl just can’t stop this Chicago 1 crew from producing contracts and youngsters Sig Decker is: getting worried and Dan Roche has taken precautionary measures. Everybody is hot and bothered but in the meantime Joe Woodward is smiling and stepping high wide and handsome in the good news that Mrs. Woodward and the new daughter are feeling fine and that everything is oke. SPORTLIGHT TOM NORTH JIM AMIS DIES SUDDENLY It is with deep regret that we re- port the death of Jim Amis, Sales- man for Block “A,” who has been with this office for many years, writes Mrs. Marsh Hendrick, Okla- homa City. Mr. Amis left our of- fice Monday high in spirits, yet frail in health, and fell over dead early Wednesday morning. The love which manifested itself in the hearts of his associates has been made real by presenting to his wife a purse of approximately $1000.00. The entire Pathe organization herewith extend sympathy. OH, FOR THE LIFE OF A SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE! So this is Paris, or An Auditor’s Day Dream To Jump or Not to Jump — San Fran.
