Good Will Builder for
Coin Operated Machines
The following letters are vol­
uminous testimonials on behalf
of the tremendous amount of
good will which the Associated
Operaters Association of Los
Angeles is building. Such gen­
erosity and action is more help­
ful in obtaining worthy con­
sideration for our i n d u s t r y
than a lot of pious breast-beat­
ing and clamoring for a “ favor­
able press” . W e salute the far­
sighted policy of the A O L A as

Dear C urley:
Please accept the thanks of

the men in uniform is outstand­

the various camps in Southern
California. Personally I wish to

Dear Mr. Robinson:
Last year members of your
organization responded to the
a p p e a l of the Y . M. C. A. in
contributing, through the med*-
ium of subscribing for com­
munity memberships, in order
that paid leadership might be
secured for the boys of W est
Hollywood.
Because of this campaign, to
which you contributed approxi­
mately $300.00, it may please
you to learn that juvenile de­
linquency is practically non­
existent in this district, accord­
ing to the Sheriff’s Department
and local juvenile authorities.
This is a grand piece of con­
structive work and your contri­
bution helped make it possible
of achievement.
This year we have another
job on our hands and I believe
that your members will want
to again join with other civic
minded citizens in giving guid­
ance to these youngsters.
I am sending herewith the
names of those of your group
who supported this effort last
year in the hope that they will
not let these underpriveleged
youngsters down this year. In
fact, knowing your personal
enthusiasm for assisting in mat-
