Flip in a coin, lightly touch the hand plate,
and things begin to happen-the large
wheel begins to spin, gaining momentum,
until the flashing lights appear as one solid,
colorful stream of light. The purring, pow-
erful motor sets the attention-getting noise-
maker into action and finally the wheel slows
down and comes to rest. A glowing light
informs the player if LOVE is hot or cold,
whether they are shy or adventuresome, etc.,
etc., etc.
There is so much stimulating action and so
much genuine "kick" in playing Cupids
Wheel that it is played again and again, just
to experience the thrill of seeing and hear-
ing it operate! It never misses II Appeals
to men, women and children-and certainly
will appeal to youlll

bers of his family. Charley is a member of

With a new sheriff, the genial Audley
B. Conner now in office, coin machine op·
erators of Natchez and environs feel they
have a true friend in charge of the affairs
of the county. Sheriff Conner, who pre·
viously served in this capacity, was a real
friend of the operators a nd those who know
him best say he has not changed his atti·
tude toward the boys and they are all elated
because he is a t the helm of the lawen·
forcement in the county.
Since the first of the year the recently
enacted Curfew in this city and county has
been removed and Natchez is now a good
machine city.
Of interest to their many friends here is
this item that the new recruits at the U. S.
Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, Ill.,
include two lo cal men, John Martin Pet·
kovsek and August Joseph Stone, who are
now receiving instruction in salesmanship,
military drill, and naval procedure. Soon,
they will be given a series of aptitude tests
for determining whether they will be as·
signed to one of the Navy's service schools
or to immediate active duty at sea. Upon
completing their recruit training, these men
will be home on a nine day leave. Before
they entered the service both were local
operators.
Petty Officer Robert T . Perrault, formerly
of this city, now in the U. S. Navy, is on
foreign duty with the Pacific F leet. Mrs.
Perrault is visiting here in the home of her
husband's parents and with her relatives,
Mr. W. H. Parker and family. She is now
making her home in California where she
went to be with her husband before he was
assigned to sea duty. Petty Officer Perrault
was associated with the Service Novelty
Co. He has a brother, Frank, who is also
a former operator, now in the Navy.
After a furlough of ten days at home
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Seale,
Petty Officer Second Class Percy Oliver
Seale, of the U. S. Coast Guard, who reo
cently returned from six months of foreign
duty in the Southwest Pacific, has departed
for San Francisco, California, to rejoin h is
boat there. Petty Officer Seale, who is servo
ing his second "hitch" in the Coast Guard,
