LOS ANGELES-At a membership
meeting held at the North Star Audi-
torium in Los Angeles on September 19th

County pledged their support and aid in
the sale of United States Defense Bonds_
Stamp folders were distributed to the
members and announcement was made that
the Association, through a special arrange-
ment with the Post Office, was now selling
Defense Stamps at the offices at 1351 West

Ray Adams, secretary of the Tavern
Owners' Association, sp6ke to the meeting
urging closer co-operation between the
operators and tavern owners on matters of
vital concern to both. Adams pointed out
the similarity of interests in such matters
as taxes, P. T. A. complaints and local op-
tion.
"Curley" Robinson, AOLAC's dynamic
secretary, recounted his findings on a re-
cent trip to Washington, D. c., and Chi-
cago. He told of the many obstacles placed
in his path and of the need for heartier
co-operation from the entire membership.
Al Sunshine, Association accountant,
spoke on the new tax bill, how it affects the
marble table operator, how the new tax
must be met, system of bookkeeping neces-
sary, etc.
Guest speaker of the evening was Martin
Mooney, well-known local attorney husband

narios in Hollywood. Mooney praised the
Association and the work it was doing in
this county and spoke highly of the
generous donations the Association has
made to various worthwhile charities.
Meeting was preceded by a buffet din-
ner at which more than 170 in attendance
did away with fifteen huge roast turkeys,
150 pounds of potato salad, 100 pounds of
assorted cold meats and half a hundred
other delicacies.

phone at SUtter 6706. Converse, in Port-
land, Ore., is located at 1007 Terminal

Soldier Boys
Need Coin Help
LOS ANGELES-Opportunity is knock-
ing so loudly on the doors of coin machine
operators she is almost breaking them
down ... and back of her stand thousands
of young men in brown, the victims of un-
fair sales discriminations! Young men who
need food automats ... picture machines! '
Young men with only $21.00 a month to
spend!
When all the radios are blaring patriotic
programs and the movies presenting patri-
otic pictures, you might expect that prices
would be lowered to the draftees ... but,
according to an article by Samuel Grafton
in Look Magazine, Sept. 23rd, the case is
just the opposite! Grafton recites a story
of pictures, co ting civilians 10c, going to
the soldi ers at 25c ... coffee, regularly 5c
a cup, priced at 10c for the boys from the
camps!
Coffee dispensing machines . . . sand-
wich and ice cream machines ... machines
for taking pictures are the answer to that
problem! For there is no injustice in ma-
chines! They're like the Four Musketeers,
"All for one and one for all!"

Other Groups Adopt
Sofe Driving Pion
LOS ANGELES-The Associated Opera-
tors of Los Angeles County are assisting
other associations in the "Drive Safely"
campaign staged so successfully very re-
cently by the local group.
Said Curley Robinson: "This Association
has loaned its famous 'Have A Heart' stick-
er cuts in full colors to the Amusement
Merchants' Association in San Francisco
and to Max Zimet of the Sicking Co. in
Indianapolis. Both of these have requested
the cuts for campaigning in their respec-
tive cities."
The local gro up distributed thousands of
the stickers in the local area and won con-
siderable goodwill through their efforts . •
