LOS ANGELES-The monthly meeting
of the W .V.M.O.A., held March 28,
proved to be the most interes ting in
many months , members state, and the
varied program arranged by J. H. Scott,
the organization's hard working Presi-
dent, was received with enthusiasm .
It was a fast moving s how, with ballet
dancing, music, songs, and some very
clever exhibitions of sleight-of-hand
tricks. Everyone was highly pleased
and are in favor of having more shows
in the future .
The office of vice-president was de-
clared vacant, and F. W . Straw was
elected to the position, taking the place
of J. E. Jackson. Arthur Kennedy, attor-
ney for the Association, made a report
on the license situation in Los Angeles
and surrounding territory.
It was announced that members will
be able to secure insurance at favor-
able rates for theft , public liability and
product liability. The matter has been
thoroughly inves tigated by a committee
and their report recommends it to mem-
bers. Any officer will be glad to furnish
information to operators interested in
insurance.
AIL operators are invited to join the
Association and new operators are cor-
dially invited to come to Association
meetings and learn more about the ad-
vantages of the organization. As mem-
bers continually point out, the benefits
of belonging to such an organization

pute the fact that any group is in a bet-
ter position to protect their interests a s
compared to individual action.
This has been proven in cases of cita-
tions by the city license departments
and at times when taxes have been pro-
posed by towns in this vicinity. At such
times non-members have come to the
Association and asked for help. As offi-
cials state in Association meetings, the
organization can not be expected to
carry the burden of all the operators
unless evidence is shown that they are
willing to support the Association.
