A. M. Keene, veteran operator and news-
paper publisher of Taft, Calif., passed
away in Los Angeles on January 11th. Keene
had been suffering from a heart condition
for about eight months. His doctors had
warned him not to fly and not to go to the
high altitude of Mexico City. But Art
couldn't think of the holidays without being
south of the border, and /lew to Mexico City
for Christmas and New Year's. lIe took ill
there, was brought to Los Angeles on the
10th, and passed away at 4 p.m. the next
day.
Well-known throughout the Industry,
Keene possessed a winning personality,
had a smile and a joke for everyone and
loved his associations in the trade. For
years he operated in Kern County and
managed the Taft Midway Driller, a daily
newspaper. He was a confirmed traveler
and during his lifetime visited every known
part of the world. He was 62.

to every angle of the current picture, the
association is anxious to increase its repre-
sentative nature in order to work more
fOil
fE8RUA/tY effectively. Therefore the manufacturer
members have authorized the Directors
1946
to open associate memberships for aU coin
machine operators and distributors. The
membership fee of $25 per year, payable
in advance, will cover 1946 dues, bring
an official membership certificate, and en-
title members to special privileges in con-
nection with the activities of the organiza-
tion.
More important, however, is the fact
that the money will be used entirely to
h elp finance a strategic Public Relations
Campaign which the Directors feel will
be worth many times $25 to each operator
and distributor in his own special territory.
The manufacturers will bear the greater
part of the expense of the campaign-
t hey will have to in order to undertake it
upon the scale planned. But the manu-
facturers feel that such a campaign would
not be truly representative of the Industry
if operat ors and distributors were not in-
-eluded.
The P ublic Relations Campaign will be
aimed at creating public good will. Right

chines is in a state of transItIOn. To say
whether the public is for the Industry or
against it is impossible. The starting point
from which to work is the good will of
the returning service men. Now is the
time to solidify that good will and add
to it. Other industries have done it and
are doing it through their public relations
campaigns.
Endorsement of the campaign and de-
sire to cooperate can be shown by be-
coming an associate member. Dues may
be sent direct to Coin Machine Industries,
Inc., Room 508, 134 North La Salle Street,
Chicago 2, Illinois, or to anyone of the
Directors listed below. Incidentally, dues
should be charged as a definite expense
for 1946 and deducted from the income
tax.
