Her first titles: “Calendar Girl,” “Sad Movies” and “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Two new issues by Lou Bennett on the market: “Lou Bennett A L’Orgue Last Night” and “Lou Bennett Plays Ray Charles.” L’Orchestre Aragon has waxed “Aragon Cha Cha.” We note that Barriere, whose version of “Cathy” revealed his real talent to the record public, was not among the recent award winners. And finally, RCA released in its classical series of Is It “Horst VI “Daphnis And Chloe” and excerpts from “Don Juan” conducted by Charles Munch. First issues in Vogue’s new “Mode Internationale” collection of French recordings include six LP’s among which we find a Flamenco album, Mozart’s German dances, the Bergamesque Suite, etc. After a rather tumultuous tour through France, Dalida will do the Olympia scene. Rocker Richard Anthony will share the bill.

Rumor has it that an agreement is in the offing between Carousel Editions and MPHC in regard to publication here of the latter’s repertoire by Carousel. More on this later. Henri Marchal, Pathe editions’ chief, reports big success in France of tunes sung by teenage rock singer Helen Shapiro. Greatest of these—“You Don’t Know” (“Tu Ne Sais Pas”) already waxed by Dalida, Richard Anthony and the orks of Georges Jouvin, Jerry Mengo and Guy Lafitte. Helen’s “Walkin’ Back 'To Happiness” (“Je Reviens Vers Le Bonheur”) has also had waxings by Anthony and Jouvin and will be recorded by Gillian Hills (Barclay). Among France’s most popular rock groups are Les Chats Sauvages and Pathe editions has high hopes for two of its latest creations “Dis-moi Si C’est L’Amour” and “Toi Tu Es Bath Pour Moi,” both French originals.

t n t d V n n c 5 POST-CONVENTION As long as there are trade conventions it will be ^ impossible for one individual to learn all that is to be learned from such meetings. It is humanly impossible to attend all of the forums since many are j REPORTS S scheduled simultaneously. This comes about be- V cause of the growing number of topics which should 1 E be discussed and the limits of a three or four day g convention. With most of each afternoon set aside ^ An Opportunity To for exliibit viewing, the evenings must feature the a talks. A trade publication can serve a useful purpose ® Fill In The Gaps M here in supplying its industry with all of the infor- S. f: mation that was available at a show by employing L a staff of reporters to the scene of each meeting C E thereby covering every meet and perhaps discussing even the finer points with some of the principals. tl T We have just returned from the NAMA Western Cl Conference where some three thousand people got r: t] together to do what about 12,000 did last month at g- S McCormick Place—see and hear what is new in vending. The atmosphere was much calmer and the c: ir number of exhibitors amounted to about half of the ir huge scale show held in Chicago. Three individual s1 a rooms were employed for exhibiting ecjuipment mid D the relationship between exhibitor anti viewer was Ci quite informal. A report on this phase of the West- d: d ern Conference appears elsewhere in this issue. tl n Since two reporters make for two heads and two seats, both the Coffee clinic and the Cigarette work- n a shop were covered in detail even though the meet- Ci ings were held simultaneously. Much information h W was gleaned from both discussions and they too appear elsewhere in this section.

For the benefit of the late-risers on last Saturday morn, our editorial staff was on hand to report on the General Meeting and also to hear Congressman Melvin Price (D.Ill) discuss the atomic age and its relationship to our business.

Photos were taken of several of the booths and general chit-chat was recorded and also appears on these pages for the reader to absorb. ll Summarizing, this issue which covers in its Vend- ing News section the second Western Conference, which was held in the Ambassador Hotel in Los An- geles last week, serves up information that you, if you were there, could not possibly have garnered yourself. West coast operators who could not, for various reasons, attend at all will find as much of the flavor of the convention as is possible without actually attending. And of course, the vending industry from other parts of the nation, who attended the national show in Chicago, can use this opportunity to pick up additional pointers that may have been missed at McCormick Place.
