Teaneck Theater Manager
Bans Teen.Agers From Show

TEANECK, N. j. - Al Harris,
manager of Teaneck's only motion
picture theater, issued an ulti-
matum. T%een-agers unaccompa-
MED by adults would no longer be
admitted.
In the three weeks before the
ban they set fire to the theater
three times and countless other
times he had to halt the movies
and climb on to the stage to ap-
peal for quiet.
II am reluctant to take steps of
this nature" he said, but under
the circumstances I have no altern-
alive. Teen-age groups attending
this theater not only have been de-
structive but extremely boisterous,
denying the adults a pleasurable
evening"
Teaneck is the town selected
last September by the army as a
model community and, as such,
was photographed for an exhibition
of American democratic processes
for use in the governments reedu-
cation and reorientation program
in occupied countries.
TIE Dan applied only to children
between IA and 10. Younger chill
dren, the manager said, caused no
trouble.

Miners Glasses Take
1000 Mile Journey

LONDON, Eng. - Alfred
Thompson's spectacles went on
a 1000 mile journey, but came
back, much to his relief.
The glasses started their
journey when he placed them in
their case and set the case
down on a halted conveyor belt
at a colliery in Ashington, Eng
land.
No sooner had he put the case
on the belt than the conveyor
started to move. The belt
dropped the glasses into a tub,
which in turn was emptied into
a railway car, which was
moved to Blyth to be unloaded
into a collier.
Then the ship set sail for the
Isle of Wright. Dock workers
there found the case with the
glasses unbroken and Mr..
Thompson's address inside.
They sent them back to him.

New Zealand Hermit Has
Perfect Atomic Hideout

DUNEDIN, N. z. - Comes the
revolution, or an atomic war. there
is one human in this world who
has an excellent chance Of sur
vival.
He is Jules Berg. a New Zealand
hermit, who has lived on Preserva-
ton Inlet, probably the least sus-
ceptible area on earth to radioac-
tivity, for the past % years.
Preservation Inlet is a ford in
the extreme southwest corner of
New Zealand. A deep, narrow arm
of the sea, it runs inland for about
20 miles between steep mountain
walls which would tend to block
radioactive clouds. Its dense rain
fall would clear death-dealing mat
ter out of the atmosphere.
Fiord county covers more than
5000 square miles and has a popu-
lation of eight. The only feasible
access to the inlet is by sea.
Mr.. Berg lives in the remote
spot like a comfortable Robinson
Crusoe. He has a cottage and ex-
tensive vegetable garden and gets
fresh meat from a deer trap in
the adjacent forest.
He also has a gold mine which
he works when he feels like it. AS
provides little that he
needs, however, he usually lets
The gold stay where it is.

Slot Machines
Have Had Iona,
Lavish Career

CHICAGO - The slot machine
better known perhaps as the lone
armed bandit, has had a lons
and lavish life, but may have &
short and stingy future. The fed
eral government has a bill under
consideration that may wipe them
out.
Meanwhile. the manufacture Of
coin machines such as vending
and service machines, juke boxes
and pin ball games. as well as the
"one-armed bandit" is conferred
in Chicago.
The first slot machine was be-
lieved invented about 1885 in Cali
fornia by Charles Fey. Produc-
ton in Chicago began about the
turn Of the century. There are
eight firms in the city making the
machines at the present time.
Legal In 7 States
The internal revenue bureaus
records show there are SO, 1856
places in the country paying the
500 per machine tax. This would
not, however. indicate the true
number of machines in existence.
Estimates range as high as 2O0,-
900.
The machine is legal in only
even states. Nevada allows all
forms Of gambling. Idaho permits
coin operated devices for gaming
on a local option basis. Washing
ton and Montana allow them in
private clubs. Criminal codes for
bid gambling in Louisiana and
Tennessee and Alabama, but they
have statutes that set license fees
for gambling devices.
The machines have changed little
since they were invented. They !
usually have three vertical wheels,
on which are painted pictures of
cherries, plums, oranges and the
like. The player puts in a coin and
pulls a lever. The wheels spin and
when certain combinations come I'D
the player wins. But mostly they
Short for Jackpot
It got its name lone armed BAN
dit" because Of the low percentage
Of payoff. Manufacturers claim the
machines are built to pay rs cents
on the dollar. But they can be fixed
to pay out nothing of 10, 20, 40, or
50 percent of the cash that is poured
INTO them.
Most players, of course, shoot for
he big pay off-the jackpot. The
odds on hitting it have been calcu-
ated all the way from 1000 to l to
1000 to l.
But it does not seem to matter
lbout the odds, thousands of people
.eem to like playing them. Tho only
CONSTANT money makers, however,
ire the owners
There are no records to show who
all the machines around the
ountry, nor how many millions they
ield for their owners. The Cali
ornia commission on organized
however, estimated that the
nnual take" by people who con- |
'ol slot machines is probably
round two billions.

1875 Persons
Have Over Million
Dollars, Report

WASHINGTON According to
government sources and compilers
of mailing lists, there are IL, 915
millionaires in the United States,
and American business in 1949 paid
at least 81 executives 5000, 900 or
more a year.
Many argue that it is getting
more difficult all the time to make
a fortune, but the fact remains
that each year since the end Of
World War II at least rs more
Americans amassed that universal
ly coveted first million.
There are, according to avail
able figures, BOG more millionaires
today than there were in 1916.
Which means that one American
out Of every 1880 or so has a cool
million.
According to one Of the largest
list compiling agencies, there are
now 22,307 persons in this country
worth between $500, 900 and a mil
lion; 3d. have between $3.50, 600
and half a million; 130,439 have
between 500, 900 and a quarter of
a million, and, all told, some $780,
141 Americans could rustic up $780,
600 or more.
American business paid I60 exec
utives between $500, 900 and $780,
600 last year in addition to those
who received 5000, 900 or more. The
highest was 1886, 900 in salary, bo-
nus and stock paid to the president
of General Motors.
The president of GIN was taxed
$3.50, $50 of his S586, 900 by the fed
eral government.
But getting back to the wealthy
persons in the United States, ac-
cording to reports there are 2,566
millionaires in New York. Pennsyl-
vania is second with 1,129. Ohio
boasts 802 and Massachusetts, IT'S.

Watch Your Step

Dark stairwells leading to attics
or cellars can be made much light
er and safer by painting the walls
in white or a very light tint. An
added safeguard is an enameled
band-an inch or two wide-along
the top edge of each step. Using
an entirely different color on the
bottom steps helps, too.

Hog Gains

Hogs which were confined in a

and made more gains than hogs
which were induced to take daily
exercise. There was little differ
ence in economy of gains between
the two groups. On the other hand
the hogs with exercise had firmer
carcasses and thinner back fat.
