NEW EARTHQUAKE SHAKES LOMPOC A spot 60 miles West of Lompoc was pinpointed at the center of

yesterday's earthquake, the latest in a series reported since October 1. The quake, measuring a magnitude of 5.4, was felt for a radius

of more than 90 miles from the center. No property damage was reported.

"People must be getting pretty use d to these things," reported Lompoc Police Chief E. Souse, "We only received about five calls." One resident reported that his apartment shook for more than a minute. It was agreed by California Polytechnic Institute scientists, though, that the quake probably lasted no longer than

five or ten seconds. Aftershocks IA may have accounted for tIvotvg ' the apparently longer length noted. "

CHICAGO — On Friday, November 28, Fred Skor, director of the games department at World Wide Dist., will be celebrating his 20th year in the coin machine industry. During his tenure he has enjoyed a happy and successful association with Nate Feinstein, Harold Schwartz and Irving Ovitz in the operation of World Wide Dist. Prior to joining World Wide on Feb- ruary 11, 1952, Fred was employed at the now defunct Coven Dist. firm here in Chicago. He started with the company on November 28, 1949. His activities through the years have not been limited exclusively to amusement machines, having "sold a few phonographs" in his time, but since taking com mand of the games section (a very busy one at World Wide) his attention has been focused on this division in order to maintain such a smoothly run department.
