Certain members of the Coin Machine Industry
are becoming unduly disturbed about our Indus-
try and its future because of the National Defense
Program. O ne publication has taken the side of
the Alarmist and is devoting heavy space to put-
ting the fear of God in every operator that sooner
or later he will be thrown out of business for the
Government does not consider our industry an
"essential" one and before long we' ll all close
shop and either go in the army or go on relief.
Now how can free thinking Americans, en-
dowed with the right to make an honest living,
believe such trash and become so confused and
alarmed as to curtail their purchases and stay
home nights planning a severe program of re-
trenchment.
The positive truth of the matter is this: the Coin
Machine Industry has NO T been declared an
"unessential" industry; our manufacturers have
experienced the same difficulty in getting mater-
ials as have manufacturers in dozens of other
fields; but there is absolutely no grounds for the
theory that our industry will be the first to suffer.
Such a statement is an absolute untruth and the
publications making it are certainly not truth-
fully relaying information to the readers and
operators they serve.
In our July Anniversary Issue we will present
a n unbiased report on just how the De:ense Pro-
gram is affecting this industry. We have the sup-
port and co-operation .of prominent government
authorities and our July report will give you the
first TRUE and ACCURATE picture as it is today
in our industry.
Sid Mackin, competent managing director of
the Amusement Merchants' Association, Inc., San
Francisco, takes the bull by the horns in his bul-
letin to all Bay location owners on June 7th ask-
ing them to beware and be watchful of juvenile
play on marble games now that school is out.
Said Mackin, in part: "During the summer months
with their additional leisure time, the tendency
for juveniles to loiter and the desire to play the
pin-ball games in all locations is greatly in-
creased. O nly through being constantly alert
and through the full co-operation of every loca-
tion, can we prevent this situation from growing
to such proportions that it will u ndo the work
that the Association, with your aid, has been
able to accomplish."
All table operators would do well to warn their
locations in a like manner.
