NEW YORK-Contending that any chan ge
in shape would create chaos because of
the number of vending machines, a recent
editorial in the Daily News nonetheless
made a sugges tion with regard to the new
dime-colored pennies_ Asserting that cop-
per obviously couldn' t be used, but that
somethin g had to be done to prevent get-
ting that sad look from th e cab driver
who ge ts one of the steel coins in place
of what the donor thinks is a dime tip,
the News asked, "If th e Chin ese can, why
can' t we?" Their thought: Punch holes
in the center of th e coins, thus once and
for all eliminating the. present confusion ,
a nd a t the same time saving a considerabl e
amount of steel for other uses_
All in favor .. _

AOLAC Holds Meet
LOS ANGELES-A special meetin g of
the membership of th e Associated Opera tors
of Los Angeles County, Inc., was held a t
the North Star Auditorium on September
23rd with "Curley" Robinson, managin g
director, presiding.
Robinson devo ted hi s portion of th e
meeting to a discussion of politics and to
urge the members to refrain from takin g
any part whatsoever in any campaigns or
special issues in forthcoming elections.
"Any member having political ambitions
can turn in his resignation in this associa-
tion and go ahead with said ambitions,"
said Robinson.
To substantiate his arguments Robinson
produced a paper showing the undesirable
publicity whi ch befell th e industry when
two or three operators supported a political
plot a short time back.
Robinso n brought up the matter of
minors being allowed to play marble tables
and again warned members to make certain
their locations see that no individuals under
21 are allowed to play.
Arthur Mohr, association attorney, gave
a brief discussion on OP A rulings and
his interpretation s th ereof. H e contended
th a t the government has put coin -controlled
mach i nes on the essen tial list by th e mere
classifying of th em in the recent IJrder.
