restaurants and wartime travel restrictions
seem to have increased rather than de·
creased, the volume of business they are
doing.
"For the past four years I have operated
the ' Arcade on the Pier," said New-
comb. "Business has been very good this
year and I have great hopes that it will
improve even better after the war."

of Elnomer Arcades, is president and heads
an impressive list of officers. On the coast
a similar Association has been formed and
is reported on elsewhere in this issue.
To the Arcade owners and operators of
America-the men who make worthwhile,
wholesome entertainment available at a
small price-and to those who make up the
service staffs of these vital morale building
institutions-we present, with pride, this
Arcade Annual of THE REVIEW.
IF YOUR REVIEW IS LATE
Each month THE REVIEW is mailed
from Los Angeles in what would nor-
mally be ample time to reach you after
the regular publication · date. U your
REVIEW is late. it is because of condi-
tions beyond our control. Despite the
fine job the overloaded transportation
systems are doing. all kinds of deliv-
eries in wartime are uncertain. Military
supplies must take precedence over
civilian shipments. -

Hard-Boiled Boss: What! Are you writing
your personal letters on the company's
time.

Flustered Steno: No, on the company's
stationery.
Parr Gets Recognition
LOS ANGELES - Proudly displayed
upon the walls of the executive office of
Budd Parr at General Music Co. is a cita-
tion from the United States Treasury and
signed by Secretary Morgenthau where
Parr is cited for his noteworthy contribu-
tion to the Defense Saving Plan.
Beautifully engraved with Parr's name in
bold Old English the citation is framed
and is something of which he can be
rightfully proud.
In these war times it is most likely that
the folks at home think soldiers only drill,
march, shoot and practice for the war
tactics in which we all eagerly hope to
eventually participate.
But though these duties are still our
primary task-and we realize it, always we
still retain a desire for relaxation and a
memory of our civilian problems. Two of
these are now my greatest worry-for I'm
helping to form a Regimental Band and
also trying to help some of the boys file
theiy income tax forms.
These two widely separated assignments
are typical of the work which I'm handling
in the Special Service Office. Our assign-
ments are as varied as the duties of any
group which attempts to provide enter-
tainment and aid a large group of ener-
getic, hard-working boys whose lives are
centered around the thrilling task of sol-
diering.
Last week I spoke to Herb Mitchell just
long enough to bid him good-bye before he
departed for a new location. Unfortunately
we were unable to meet but your former
associate editor and former Philly corre-
spondent have a date to get-together "after
the duration" and I'm sure it will be a gay
and happy occasion.
Our work has centered on the task of
making recruits into vets and the non-corns
have accomplished wonders with us. We
now handle guns with ease and feel almost
a personal relationship for the machines.
A soldier recognizes rapidly the importance
of his weapon after shooting a few times
and we've achieved a rapid liking for our
guns_ Especially the "coon hunters" and
"squirrel shooters" who gained medals for
their marksmanship.
That's the news from here for now but
please ask the folks at home to write to
their boys in uniform. We still want mail
and letters are eagerly awaited.
