NEW YORK (RC)-Pinball adherents
took it on the chin again in this territory
as a Court decision went against the rna·
chines. What's the lowdown on the cam-
paign launched by City Fathers, ask the
boys. The answer seems to li e in the emer·
gency situation created by the war. But
that the picture is not all black may be
gathered from the arcades still thriving
and the locations that are holding their
own in merchandisers and phonographs.
Urge the informed: "Don't push the pinball
issue. Wait until the world situation gets
a little easier on the Allies. We'll be in
there pitching again."
Abe Harrison of New Rochelle and
Westchester operation has been handed a
lieutenant's commission in the army. Abe
has disposed of his route and expects to
limit his collectin g hereafter to Japs. An
interesting sidelight on Harrison is that he
is one of the quietest operators in the busi-
ness and few of his associates even dreamed
he had military ambitions.
It's about tim e some one spoke up for
the girls who are doing their bit. The Red
Cross numbers, among its volunteers, such
eyefuls as Betty Marks, Ruth Henning,
Joyce Rollman, Beatrice Fox and Alice
Fienberg, all well known to operators. Of
the aggregate, Miss Fienberg does air
warden duty in addi tion to her R ed Cross
work, and we understand that both Misses
Henning and Marks are trying to get into
the ambulance corps division with possi·
bilities of service abroa d, on th e actual
front.
In connection with the third draft and its
possible effect on the older operators and
distributors, your reporter has ascertained
that most of the people concerned are not
only married but nearly all have depend·
ents.- Many would only be too glad, in fact
they would be flattered if Uncle Sam gave
them the nod; but as against the 75%
chances of th e younger men being call ed,
draft officials estimate that there is only
a 5% chance that men from 40-45 will be
in the army within five years.
Don't think it's ail gloom and no busi·
ness in the old town. In fact, more new
arcades have been opened. A real show-
place is the arcade on Broadway and 52nd
Street, spacious, well·designed and with an
effective and intelligent come·on. About
the best bets on th e location are th e riAe
games and movies. Arso good are Photo-
ma ton , R ecordak, name·cutting machines,
and the old standby, fortune-telling devices.
The suggestion has been made tha t all
coin machine operators pool their resources
and appeal to the public for play in news·
paper ads. It is understood that several
important leaders in the Eastern market
have the matter under consideration. Should
the idea be adopted all operators, distribu-
tors and manufacturers would be approach.
ed and asked to con tribute a proportionate
share for the campaign.
"Chin·up" week is to be inaugurated by
the Greater Amalgamated of Brooklyn. Ac·
cording to its sponSors, othe!;. associations
in the industry are being enlisted also.
Coming from coin machine people, it is
held th e slogan will be that much more
compelling. It is especially urged that the
pinball trade take a leading part in the
work and thus show the American people
that th e coin machine operator can not
only take it ; he can keep his chin up while
the whacks keep coming.
Should the coin machine industry entrust
its fate to some outstanding figure who will
act as th e Will Hays of the industry? This
man will prevent pitfalls and also help to
promote the business. Talk to this effect
was gathered among many operators, and
yo ur reporter heard distributors also discuss
it favorably. If readers have any opinions
or suggestions on this score, th e COIN
MACHINE REVIEW will be glad to learn of
th em. The man required, it was advanced,
should be outstanding; but he should also
have a knowl edge of the business and
command the res pect of all its elemen ts.

Report Shows Growth
WASHINGTON-The jobbing and dis-
tributing of coin·controlled equipment has
shown a remarkable growth in the United
States as shown by a report of the Depart·
ment of Commerce based on the 1940
Census of Business.
According to the report there were 1,554
establishments selling and servicing coin-
operated equipment with yearly receipts of
$30,576,000.00. The small business man has
a definite place in th e industry as shown
by the fact that 1,091 of the 1,554 estab-
lishments were those of individual owners.
Employment findings showed that 3,952
were employed full time and an additional
225 men and women were employed on a
part-time basis. Total payroll for both full
time and part-time employees an/ounted to
$5,852,000.00.
