FOR THE OLD TIMERS—1028
20 years ago—Last year, Warners
showed a loss of nearly $100,000.
. . .now with Vitaphone. the
first talking picture machine to j
hit the market, they got the
jump on other studios—netting
a nice $1,000,000 profit so far.
John Barrymore in New York to
attend the opening of his pic
ture, “The Tempest." Johnny
Mack Brown, the football star,
seems to be in great demand. . .
he’s playing opposite Norma Sh
earer in "The Little Angel-’ and
Mary Pickford wants him for the
lead in "Coquette." A face pow
der has been named after Col
leen Moore. “White Shadows in
the South Seas" is the first
,MGM picture to be made with
full sound effects. Lili Damita
has replaced Vilma Bankey as
Ronald Column's leading lady in
"The Rescue." Jim Tully’s fam
ous book, “Beggars of Life."
will be made into a picture star
ring Wally Berry. It’ll be semi
talkie. Panic among stars now
that they may have to speak in
pictures. They are all taking
voice lessons.
IS
If anyone deserves an Academy
Award, that person is Edmund
Gwenn. His performances in “Mir
acle on 34th Street" and "Green
Dolphin Street" were as fine a
hit of characterization as we've
seen in a long time Incidentally,
the Awards this year will not
be televised as previously plan
ned.
ODDS AND ENDS—Anne Bax
ter has the feminine lead in
"For Fear of Little Men" with
Tyrone Power. The last time she
appeared with Tyrone (The Raz
or's Edge) she won an Academy
Award. Sol Lesser is paging a
newcomer to replace Johnny Wei
ssmuller in the Tarzan role. . .
Johnny's water show opens in
England next month. Boh Walk
er said he was through with
movies, but lie’s back again at
U— I where he’ll co-star in "One
Touch of Venus." Peggy Cum
mins is expected back from Ire
land within a few days. Wash- i
ington will release a two-reel 1
documentary film, “Power Be- i
hind the Nation." appealing to
the public not to sell their war
bonds. David Niven, with his
; new bride, scheduled to arrive
! in Hollywood next week to start
“Take Three Tenses” for Samuel
iGoldwyn. Sam is in Honolulu on i
: a three-week vacation. Sign in j
a cafe on Santa Monica Blvd: j
. “Eat Here Even If It Kills You.” i
British tax on U.S. movies will !|
come to a head in March. Only >
.eight Hollywood films remain
unreleased in England and they ;
will only last a couple of men- .
ths. That means unless something ■
is done about the tax. many Bri- j
tish theatres will have to close.:

On Frosted Ears
I’y LOGAN CLENDENING, M.I).
THE MAIN object I have in
writing this article is to correct j
the early education of those who '
whenever tney sc* an ear or a nose ;
or a finger that has turned white ;
on a cold, snowy day sing out— ;
Dr. Clendening will answer
questions of general interest J
only, and then only through
his column.
‘‘Frost-bite. Put some snow on it.’
Early educations are very difti- |
cult to overcome, and 1 had as I
much of that particular variety as !
anybody, but 1 must confess it j
never appeak d to me as very good
common sense. And I am grateful
to know from the most modern :
surgeons that it is now actually
frowned on. Snow is likely to be \
gritty and anyway to have harsh I
spicules of frozen particles in it 1
and the skin after fro. t bite is
very liable to injury on account of |
iis lifelessness and the snow treat- j
ment tends to bruise it and open '
up cuts which are liable to infec- j
t:on. and bring on complications ;
whicli make for a prolonged recov- :
cry.
Frostbite, like chilblains, affects *
fundamentally the blood vessels of
the skin. The reaction of the mi
nute blood vessels of the skin to
cold is first to contract, and then
to react with a compensatory dil
atation. This you can see in the
faces of those coming inside on a
cold winter day. They are as
flushed as if they had been in the !
sun.
The blood vessels have to dilate
to keep the tissues alive—“to keep
the circulation going”—so even if
the skin is cold to the touch the
cheeks are flushed. But prolonged
exposure to cold wears this com
; pensatory mechanism out and the
blood vessels of the skin cease to
react and go dead on you. There is
| no bounce left in them and then
. frostbite Bets in.
Frostbite is not very common in
our age and country of Modern
are exposed for any length of time
on cold days. For cerlal.i occupa
tions, however, it is stili a hazard.
How cold must it be before
'frosib;to is possible'.’ This question I
has been statistically answered 1
when a stu iy of frostbite was
made among the employees of the
street cleaning department of
New York City. In an average
winter there were doS cases of
frostbite. When the temperature
gets below 8 degrees Fahrenheit, j
irregardless of wind or humi lity, ;
frostbite becomes common. He- j
tween 8 ami 11 degrees Fahrenheit j
it is common only if there is a high !
wind. Ami above 21 degrees Fail • |
renlicit no matter whether wind
end humidity are unfavorable it
almost never occurs. \
Proper Treatment
Other conditions conduce to the 1
cceumnce of frostbite—fatigue, j
exhaustion from working a long !
time, and keeping in a constraineu i
position. Grease and moisture on i
the skin make its onset more fre
quent. Greasing the body does not ,
make it warmer: on the contrary.
Proper treatment begins with ,
prompt recognition of the onset.
The skin areas most likely to
frostbite are the places where the '
circulation is most sluggish—the
nose, ears, fingers and toes. Any j
numbness of these parts when ex- 1
posed to cold should have prompt
and proper recognition.
If whiteness due to anemia has
occurred, too rapid warming is j
likely to lead to complications. Sit- i
ting right in front of a stove or
over a radiator is poor treatment.
The best source of beat is a part |
of the body—such as your hand
over your ear or nose. If not your ,
own hand then someone else’s. j
When circulation begins to be re
stored, which is known by the ,
tingling of the part, gentle rub
bing is permissable. The object of
treatment is to restore the circu- i
lation gradually so as to prevent ;

Northwest Association of Schools
has given the Seward School one
year to acquire these books with
tire alternate of our loosing our
place .among Accredited Schools
of the United States.
This isn't a pretty picture or some
thing that we can shrug off as
has been done during the past
three year.- und'-r the lable “Tro
ublesome and Noseiness". When
I hi- Northwest Association digs
in it is time for the parents and
pimple ef Seward to turn to and
cooperate.
The fall school carnival sponsor
id by the faculty and students
with Mime h ip from the Seward
Parent-teacher A-sociation rolled
the ball up to the $1100 mark and
it is with gratitude to the fine
contributons of the people' who
rionab'd of their wares and money
and to those who came topartieip
ute in the fun. that the school has
placed their first order for books.
The Seward Parent-Teacher As
sociation is going to carry the
torch for another $1100 for the
School Library Fund between
now and school closing time and
plan to hold several fun money
functions that it is hoped will
have tile full community support.

ticklers, your guess is as good
as ours on that one. In the gym
nasium a rip-roaring square dance
! will be in full swing so guys
start pickin’ that gal. There will
lie homemade cherry and apple
pie, coffee and Cokes on hand
too.
The proceeds of the evening
of course are for the School Li
