LOS ANGELES-"A" cards, "B" cards
and "c" cards are the topic of conversa-
tion in operating circles in Southern Cali-
fornia as the Industry adjusts itself to the
gas rationing program which went into ef-
fect on December 1st. Of course, everyone
got an "A" but from then on it was a guess
as to what would come as the result of an
application. Some operators received War
Emergency certificates which gives them
practically as much gas as needed to serv-
ice automatic phonographs. Others easily
landed "B" cards and a nice smear of "c"
cards were being bragged about. It is very
apparent that the rationing boards are co-
operating 100 percent with the operators
and doing their level best to help them take
care of their necessary calls.
Mitchell Mohr, son of Mac Mohr, has
enlisted in the air corps and has been as-
signed to radio signal tower control work.
Mitch is now stationed at Roswell, New
Mexico and never misses a Sunday tele-
phone call to the folks back home. He
learned his preliminary radio knowledge
from helping service coin machines during
summer vacations, and although only 19,
is definitely certain the radio branch of the
service is tailor-made for him.
Les Lorden has opened his own movie
studio at 2422V2 West 7th Street and in-
tends to produce his own programs for au-
tomatic movie machines. Les has a process
screen and all the equipment necessary to
make the flickers.
Sidney Lewis, sergeant in the Medical
Corps at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, vis-
ited the Mac Mohrs the first week in De-
cember.
W. S. Patterson, Los Angeles County op-
erator, went into the Army on December
4th.
Sam London of the Milwaukee Coin Ma-
chine Co._ Milwa 1 ,kee, was in Los Anrreles
the last of November visiting with the boys.
Sam spent considerable time with Bill Hap-
pel at Badger Sales for both are Badgers
and friendly competitors in Milwaukee for
several years. London was thrilled by the
balmy days the southland enjoyed during
his visit.
When former operators who are now in
the service get a furlough they usually
make a point to drop in at General Music
Co. for a hello to the lads in the industry.
Fred Gaunt, General's-.headman during the
absence of Bud Parr who is in war work,
says the boys look great, br.ag about army
chow and all are loqking forward to the
day the whole thing is over and they will
be back operating again. General keeps
in touch with the boys wherever they may
be and has assured all of them that copies
of THE REVEIW will be promptly for-
warded complimentary if the boys will send
in their addresses.
Barney McCoy, former Lone Pine oper-
ator, is now operating in the Sacramento
area and handling a defense job as welL
Irving Baer, formerly of Milwaukee and
Minneapolis, ha;; opened the first Arcade
in Ontario.
Albert Griebahn has joined Bad/(er Sales
to work on sales and service. Griebahn
was formerly associated with Bill Happel
at Badger Sales in Milwaukee ten years
ago.
The Little Chapel of Roses in San Diego
was the scene November 7th of an impres-
sive twilight wedding ceremony when Miss
Betty Jean Culver, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George Culver, Calexico, was married
to Clyde S_ Fields of San Diego. George
is one of the largest operators in the Im-
perial Valley section of the state.
Fred Reilly is working with the civilian
corps of the air force and has been assigned
to spotting forest fires from his plane.
AOLAC remembered its members in the
armed forces with gift boxes loalled with
cigarettes, razor blades, candy and soap
dolled up in a novel canteen shape. Mem-
bers in the service include Louis Ellis, Wil-
liam Nagel, Lawrence Werner, Harry Zeh-
ner, Barry Beauregard, Sam Oser, James
Cameron, Jr., Don Jackson, Cliff Gill, Tom
Withers, Floyd Sanders, and Leonard Beh-
rens.
Major Mohr is a patient at the Pottenger
Sanitarium in Monrovia. Major has an
operation in the Redondo Beach district.
The Arcade business is the best in years,
according to Bill Happel of Badger Sales.
Bill says his main business for the past 60
days has been in supplying Arcade equip-
ment and now the Badger Sales warehouse
is bulging with equipment gathered from
all parts of the country ready for sale to
Arcade operators.
Recent out-of-towners in Los Angeles to
pick up equipment, bargain on trade-ins,
and chew the fat, include: Zorn Bogart of
the Imperial Valley Amusement Co. in
Brawley; Slim Ewing, Bakersfiel'd; Archie
Freeman, Oceanside; Frank Showalter,
Santa Ana; Bill La Bahn, Orange; Jack
Lipps of the Penny Arcade in La Mesa;
Tex McMahon, San Jacinto; Harry Per-
rine, Tehachapi; Lawrence Raya, Colton;
Roy Smith, Lancaster; George Wheelock,
San Diego; and Eddie Seeman, San Ber-
nardino.
1. D. Turner, accountant at General Mu-
sic, will take his annual vacation during
the Christmas season and go to his home
town of Dallas, Texas, to strut before the
home folks with his newly acquired ward-
robe. Yes, J. D. went whole hog. He is
sporting new clothes from skin out and,
what's more, Mrs. J. D. is going East a
week ahead. The lads are looking sidewise
and asking "why."
Jack Pfeffer is a sticker for getting the
right music for the right location. Right,
now, in the showrooms of the Jack Gut-
shall Distributing Co. he never misses an
opportunity to put the I'll Never Get Drunk
Again hillbilly number on the turntable as
a dedication to the boss. For further de-
tails enquire at the Jack Gutshall private
office.
Al Weymouth is forging ahead and now,
or very soon, can claim the distinction of
being one of the largest cigarette operators
in Southern California. Al has machines
in lots and lots of army camps and is doing
his bit to keep the smokes flowing to the
boys.
Irving Bromberg is back on the coast
after visit to New York.
Oscar Tetzlaff, Palm Springs operator,
was in on the 5th of December to pick up
equipment.
Walter (Shorty) Gaunt-he of 29 Palms,
made Los Angeles on December 7th to work
the local lads over for equipment and sup-
plies needed. Walter is doing right well
down in his little heaven. Just adjacent to
29 Palms is one of our smallest army
cam ps. It's a school devoted to glider ac-
tivities and between 200 and 300 boys are
stationed there. Walter takes care of their
entertainment wants and he even operates
the soda fountain and supplies the syrup.
All in all, Walter is doing his bit in a big
way and only wishes he had a camp of two
thousand or more to cater to.
Dan Lufkin. San Francisco, dropped in
on the Paul Laymons and was entertained
at their new home on Sunday, December
6th.
