YOU CAN DEPEND ON
THE ACCURACY OF
DURANT SE SERIES
SUBMINIATURE COUNTERS
They're the "asked-for" counter in today's video games.
One of the most common and vexing problems that
operators of video games experience is a play-metering
counter that's inaccurate. It not only complicates
bookkeeping but it takes a game out of play for service.
That's why those who have discovered the accuracy and
reliability of the Durant SE Series counters are asking
game manufacturers to furnish them in every new game
they buy.
If you haven't discovered the benefits of this reliable
and affordable counter, we invite you to use one the next
time you need a replacement or ask that one be included
in the next new game you order.
Don't play the waiting game - get complete
information on the "asked-for" counter in video games
by writing or calling Durant Products, Eaton Corporation,
901 S. 12th Street, Watertown, WI 53094 • 414/261-4070.

He continued to explain the extent
of the teen drinking problem with
astonishing statistics. "Over 75 percent
of America's youth drink by age 16.
Twenty-five percent of high school
seniors drink once a week or more
often. From 1974 to 1978, the number
of teenagers who abuse alcohol
jumped from 3 percent to 38 percent
among boys and 5 percent to 26 per-
cent among girls."
The campaign is scheduled to start
this fall, and it is clear that a tremen-
dous effort will be needed. The Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services is
now committed to using its resources
and putting a new, stronger emphasis
on the issue of teen alcohol abuse .
With the added backing and support
of our industry, its campaign can be
even more effective.
Operators can put anti-drinking
posters in all teen-oriented game
centers around the country, and dis-
tribute other materials for their drive
in their locations. Distributors and
manufacturers can also help by
offering the support and influence of
the game industry for this campaign.
A large percentage of game players
today are most likely the same teen-
agers who have problems with alcohol
abuse. The statistics show this. It is
essential that the industry support this
program and help our players with our
efforts . If you agree with me , write a
letter toda y to Secretary Schweiker,
U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, 200 Independence
Avenue, S .W. , Washington D.C. ,
2020 I , and offer to help in the cam-
pa1gn.
