SEATTLE-If his present office occupies
an area 30x30 feet, and if the lot on which
this office reposes is 50xlOO feet, how many
feet of increased office area will result when
a new structure, encompassing the entire
50x100 feet, is completed? If you're not a
mathematician and these kind of problems
give you kinks in the cranium, then just
ask Phone Operator Frank Countner point-
blank instead of trying to figure it out,

Could she have a week's vacation? Ger-
trude Anderson wanted to know. She sure
could, Boss Clyde Newton responded. Ger-
trude returned wi th a starry light in her
eyes, a sparkler on third finger, left hand,
and a new surname. The details? Gertrude
is guarding them like a vital defense secret.
Morrie Dickinson stands to lose ten dol-
lars this summer, but in so doing he is
saving about $190 in hospital expenses.
When Morrie and Vic Abdo took their
nuptial' vows, they made a little wager,
calling for the payment of a Hamilton to
the one who was blessed with a blessed
event first. Vic is due-or ,rather his wife
is-around July.

in a triumph for the Coast Guard. The
facilities of the Navy air training centers
were taxed to capacity, so Dick was told
to wait until the temporary congestion sub-
sided. Meanwhile, his draft number was
coming up faster than Seabiscuit in the
home stretch. It happened that Fred Fields
owned a zippy 32-foot cruiser that was just
what the Coast Guard required for patrol
duties in Puget Sound. Fred contributed
the boat for the duration, and when Uncle
Sam's skippers looked around for some
capable fellow to operate the vessel, they
decided on son Dick. Dick is not only
doing a man-sized job for the country's war
effort, but protecting a family investment as
well.
Once a salesman, always a salesman.
Solly Solomon departed for a quiet two-
week's vacation, with business the farthest
thing from his mind. But in San Diego,
Solly chanced upon an operator who needed
a certain type of gun game, and in less
time than it takes a bomber to unload its
deadly missiles, Solly had closed the sale.
Perhaps Roger Griswold does not realize
it, but he may have invited war on two
fronts last month. Roger joined the Shore
Patrol of the Naval Reserve and married
Thelma Oliver on February 28. Suspending
the frivolities, Coin Row extends best
wishes for a lifetime of marital bliss.
So you don't think women are fickle, eh?
Well, listen: More than a year ago Donna
Krause (now Wilcox) resigned at Frank
Countner's to marry and keep the hearth
fires burning. When household duties lost
their appeal a few months ago she returned
to work. Now she has resigned again to
take up the frying pan and skillet.
Thirty days without a personnel change-
the monotony was wearing on the nerves;
the firm was falling into a rut. So once
again the hired hands of Decca's small
army went on the march. Joy Davis moved
in when Frankie Brown moved out; Mrs.
Leola Whisennane' replaced Mrs. Louise
Anderson; and Ralph McCullough was
added to the force. While all these changes
were being made, the Virginia Mattern

Struck amidship by a gent who failed to

right hand man, Sammy Sadis, but Sammy

Compensation Rates Down
LOS ANGELES-The Workmen's Com-
pensation Insurance Rating Bureau has
finally recognized the size of the Coin Ma-
chine Ind ustry and established a special
rate and classification for operators, accord-
ing to an announcement by L. A. Zeigler,
of the Zeigler Insurance Agency.
"New rate is $1.02 per hundred dollars
of payroll instead of $1.31 as heretofore,"
said Zeigler. "The classification covers
'vending or coin-operated machines, instal-
lation, service or repair-including storage;
shop and outside operations; salesmen,
drivers, chauffeurs and their helpers'''.
Zeigler has developed a special lo_w mini'-
mum and deposit of $25 for operators and
has a special arrangement with the 50_
Calif. Tavern Ass'n., whereby operators also
can participate in further possible savings
in the Workmen's Compensation cost. Un-
der existing law operators employing one or
more must carry Compensation insurance
or otherwise become guilty of a mi'sde-
meanor.
