Every generation has been faced
with their "ruin and destruction"
and suprisingly enough each gener
ation has not only survived, but has
helped to build on the foundation
supplied by former generations To
day's outcry seems to be in reference
to video games in arcades, super
markets, restaurants, homes— the
list could go on nearly indefinitely.
The only place as yet untouched is
CHURCH. Who knows, they may
soon get into the act as they have
always been known to seize upon a
proven revenue maker.
Seriously, we feel the whole sit
uation has been approached with a
negative attitude stimulated by a
lack of valid information. The "old
poolroom" image is conjured up by

As in any controversial question,
the failings of a few become the
"way of life" for all in the minds of
the critics We don't need to belabor
here what the supposed evils are.
On the other hand, we do need to
renew the campaign of promoting
the dissemination of honest infor
mation about the games, their players,
the operators and the locations.
Our goal will be to present an
upbeat attitude about the industry
and its news. We realize that the
misinformation that seems to be
prevalent at this time must be faced
but it can be done with a minimum
amount of space used. The essential
point is for all of us to keep our best
foot forward ALL, or at least most, of
