MAGOR | President Authorized as Second Class Mall by the Post Office Department, Ottawa and for payment of postage In cash poe FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1963 Legalized lotteries o doubt there are many organiza- _ tions and individuals in Prince Ru- pert who will be somewhat elated. over the news that the recent confer- ence of Mayors and Municipalities voted 75-43 in favor of legalizing lot- teries. Fact is that most Canadians and particularly British Columbians would be happy to see, for once and for all, something more conerete done about this absurd and rather controversial part of our Criminal Code. It has now gotten to a point where even the legal advisors are sometimes puzzled by its provisions. Tt is often wondered what would be the result of a popular vote on the question of legalized lotteries. We. would venture to say that in the west legalized lotteries would win with a sweeping majority. What is really so wrong with a sweepstake of which the proceeds, or a good portion thereof, go towards hospitals; or bingo games where the funds derived go solely towards char- ity, in one local case, crippled chil- dren? Isn’t it a fact that the only real thing wrong with it all is that it is written into the Criminal Code and until it is changed we must abide by it? Worst part of it all is that the’ money from the majority of sweep- stakes now being played by Cana- dians goes out of the country. It seems tidiculous that Canadians should not be. able to hold their own sweepstakes legally with the proceeds going di- rectly to charity in this country.

Mcleod There seems -to be little consist- ency to the Canadian act. Enforce- ment seems to be a sometimes-thing and rather hypocritical. There ,-are likely many lotteries operating in the country but in some parts they are clamped down on and in others little is said. In view of the fact that char- ity is involved, the people want to-take part, and it is an easy way of raising money by clubs and lodges with a wor- thy cause that would otherwise have a tough time, would it not be simple to settle the perennial argument by finally changing the act? In the last two years a Calgary woman has embarked on a nation- wide drive to have sweepstakes legal- ized. She has driven thousands of miles to campaign for this’and thus far has accumulated thousands of Ca- nadian names on a petition. It is hoped some success will come from her great undertaking. In the meantime, here in Prince Rupert, the situation is like a cat on a hot tin roof. Organizations and clubs are constantly in doubt. Many of the people of this city have proven beyond any doubt that they want to participate in lotteries. Bingo games at home and in public places draw people by the hundreds, yet the law states this is wrong and will not be condoned. oo It is all very confusing at times. If.certain. bingo games. are-ille gal-why--- weren't they banished a long time ago? The act is certainly old enough. In this respect it is high time the act was brought up to modern times. . ie Stretching the tourist season of the passenger promotion office, however, pointed out that not all of Alaska is in the same stalemate with nature in April as is Anchorage and its latitudes. Farther south along the coas- tal area spring is definitely in the air while in the vast “interior” late winter is still beauti- ful and impressive. At Alyesku and other ski slopes here and at Fairbanks some of the year’s best skiing is still to be had. n fact, said the travel man, Alaska in the month of April may be quite attractive to a certain segment of. tourist-prone individuals and groups. ; WE RATHER IMAGINE the new concept of Alaska tourism is being designed with more than half an eye on the facilities of the Cana- dion railways system since the trip would be- gin with a steamer ride from ‘Vancouver or Vic- torla to Juneau. But who are we to forestall a man with an idea? We can only wish Mr. Mcleod and his Planning the best of luck.
