year, and the all-important problem of ob-
taining good servicemen_ The first of the
"schools" for new servicemen which the
association will foster will be assigned to
a prominent distributor's shop, according
to the group. Twenty promising youngsters
have b een signed up for the course, during
which th ey will be paid for learning and
apprenticed for part of the day to veteran
mechanics still on duty.
Carl Trippe of Ideal Novelty Co. was
wringing his hands nervously over the ton-
sillectomy which Marlene, his little daugh-
ter, underwent in June. At this writing she
is resting comfortably!
Arcade operation is kee ping Ideal on th e
run.. The help si tuation is at its worst h ere,
no mechanics available for service, and
few cashi ers remaining more than a few
days. ,In ad dition, bus service to many of
th e" -amuseIt\eo;t parks in which th ey ar p
located has been disco ntinued to save rub-

crow ded arca des in th e city are full of "out

arcades with only two or three service
men.
Earl Bowman is now service manager for

phonograph repair shop of his own, is
dazzled by th e sudden demand on his serv-

Barney Frerichs of Arrow Novelty Co.
is vacationin g in a h ouse trailer, obeying
an ambition he has nursed for years. How-
ever, he will spend th e vacation only a few

Abe J effers, president of the Cigarette
Merchandiser's Association which finally
won out in its fight to ha v~ the two-cent
St. Louis city tax dropped, is vacationing
with Harry Davi es so mewhere in the South.
Harry who usually spent two months in
Florida, was disgruntled to find that the
army has occupied his favorite s pot.
Friends suggested that h e read newspapers
