Again the work of the Motion Picture Theater Owners of America for the Post Office Depart ment, has so accelerated and advanced our Postal Service that the holiday mail was handled with celerity and dispatch and this Screen aid, now two years in duration, has brought to our Organiza tion and the Theater Owners the highest commendation from Postmaster General New and others. This is the big substantial work, the kind that wins honestly, fairly and squarely the fullest measure of official and public good will for the Theater Owner, makes the Theater a real community institution, the Exhibitor an acknowledged leader and by thus leading him ever upward and on ward gives him that real place in our Industry where his business is entirely secure and absolutely proof against any form of unfair opposition inside or outside the Motion Picture fold. This is the real work of the Motion Picture Theater Owners of America, carried forward daily with increasThg energy at our National Office and which is now meeting with such a complete measure of appreciation on the part of Theater Owners all over the Nation.
