Keene Sends Jumbo
Greeting Card
TAFT, Calif.-1£ there's anything un-
usual to he thought of, A. M. Keene, edi-
tor-puhlisher•coinman and, until world af-
fairs took a turn for the worse, world
traveler, will think of it. This tim e it was
an oversize greeting card sent th e COIN
MACHINE REVIEW and obviously intended
for everyone in the business, since it· was
too big for any, one individual to keep to
himself.
Measurin g 8½ by 11 inches, the card
bore a two-color sketch by Artist Bert
Bates showing Keene steamingly at work
behind a desk piled high. Through a win-
dow appeared some of the oilrigs which
made Taft the town it is today.
A monstrous pencil teetering on one ear,
Keene looked up from his work to declare:
"This type is not big enough to shout how
much I want you to have a wonderful
1941."

PORTLAND, Ore. - Paying tribute to
two men who made possible a continuance
of the coin machine business in this area
and at the same time aiding a worthy char-
ity, more than 125 operators from the Paci-
fic Northwest attended a stag.dinner and
charity benefit at the Heathmen Hotel,
here, December 20, sponsored by the Asso•
ciated Amusement Distributors, local
operator association.
The two honor guests of the affair were
Ace Arnsberg, who had the courage of his
convictions to carry his case through three
co urts, and Walter Fuller, the merchant
involved in all three cases, with the result
that operating privileges were r estored.
The charity chosen was the " Toy and
Joymakers," and to it went more than $300
worth of new and used toys to be distrib-
uted to underprivileged youngsters. Out•of-
town guests brought some toys with them,
and previous to the stag the various Port-
land jobbing houses set aside places to
deposit toys and funds in advance.
Budge Wri ght, member of the General
Amusement Committee, even managed to
wheedle a tricycle from his 4½-year-old
son, Jon. When this young man saw all
the toys in the heap he demanded to know
who was going to get them. "Poor chil-
dren," his father explained. "I wish I was
a poor children," was Jon's wistful com-
ment.
A pair of tickets was mailed each out-of-
town operator, and many of the eastern
manufacturers who had also donated door
prizes, sent their contributions even though
they could not attend the dinner and the
well•rounded entertainment program of
movies and floor show. Newspaper public-
ity concerning the event was highly favor·
able, and Victor D. Brown, manager of
"Toy and Joymakers," a unit in the Port-
land Fire Department, subseqnently sent a
letter conveying the appreciation of all his
associates, as well as that of Mayor-Elect
R. E. Riley and Fire Chief Edward Gren-
fell.
" Because of your kind thoughts for the
less fortunate children, because you cared
and shared, we know that the Yuletide
Season in your own home will be more joy-
ous and prosperous," was the keynote of
the letter.
Definitely a cooperative enterprise, Wm.
Goebel, Jack R. Moore and Budge Wright
headed the general committee. In charge
of entertainment were Bill Goebel, Harry
Arnsberg and Lloyd Robinson, while those
concerned with drinks included Lester
Beckman, V. G. Raw and 0. M. Vincent.
Frank Dalton, N. J . Arnold and W. D.
Jackson made up the awards committee.
Earl Bush, Bill Martin, John Hill, Vern
Clifford and Harry Nemer comprised the
welcome committee, while those on the
"Toy and Joymakers" committee were Neal
Ellis, Lou Dun is, Jim Harris, A. K. Morse,
A. E. Anderson, Irving Newman and Harry
Nemer. After Show "Skill" Games were in
charge of Bob Allen, Merle Short and
G. M. Epling. The "sucker committee"-
termed "our own slots"-demanded the
talents of Bud Halvorson and Martie Fi-
higer, while the ex-chequers were I. N.
Hartley and Wally Casebeer. Otis Ander-
son and Max Kristo! had charge of the
doors, Fred Grohs, Sid Schubach and Don
Donaldson the ticket sales, and show cards
were done by Sol Fox.
