The Toros were beaten badly the previous night when they were blanked 7-0 by Brooklin-Whitby. Port Hope and Mary Brown's played earlier this season and the two teams fought for a 1-1 tie. Sunday's game was a delight to see as the Toros complétely domin- ated the game as the passing and control of the puck has been the Toros big plus. Troy Harmer and David Smith shared the. goaltending duties and now have 5 shut outs to date. Scoring for the Toros were Mark Hickey, Mike Knight, Kelly Balson and Gerry Win- sor. Play makers were Kelly Balson, Steve Piche, Mark Hickey and Ian Wheelock. The1 novice won lost tied record now stands 13-5-2 as of Dec. 6, 1976.

CARNATION FLOWER , îf~\ SHOP 33 DIVISION ST. 623-7141 or 623-5577 Dear Mr. James: Your editorial which ap- peared in The Canadian Statesman on September 8, 1976 raising several questions concerning the nature of lotteries has recently come to my attention. I would like to take this opportunity to res- pond to these issues since your theoretical arguments do not, in fact, correspond to, our experience witb Wintario. 1. In Ontario, Wintario has already generated more than Ga elme By Bill Humber, President of Visual Arts Centre The Newcastle Game Pro- ject of the Visual Arts Centre of Newcastle is concluding its participation in the province's cultural olympic programby seeking public involvement in designing a cultural resources map of the people, places and pastimes of the Town of Newcastle. During the part summer over 1,000,people participated in the Newcastle Game events which included tours of the area, art workshops, and photography excursions. Now with the help of a brochure which is being dis- tributed around the town the Visual Arts Centre is encour- aging people to submit ideas and information on the Town of Newcastle which can be placed on the map. Newcastle Game T-shirts will be award- ed to selected responses and the names of all persons submitting responses will ap- pear on the map as contribu- tors. The Newcastle Game events provided an excellent exam- ple of the way such a map could be used. Initial events began in June with a photography weekend under the direction of David Lewis. Points visited and photographed included the Ganaraska Forest, Vanstone's Mill, the beach at Newcastle Village, and woodlots around Enniskillen. The Town's Recreation De- partment through its summer playground program held pos- ter design workshops an a mini-Olympics as part of the Newcastle Game. The Pbotography Gallery also got in the olympic spirit through a showing of Neil Newton's work and a wire- photo show on Olympic Games Competition in Montreal. The main series of events got underway in August. Two naturalist walking tours of Long Sault and Enniskillen Conservation areas were raned out but historic walking tours of Orono and Newcastle Village attracted good crowds. Bus tours of the Kendal Hills area and the architecture of the former Darlington Town- ship attracted avid sightseers. The more athletically inclined were treated to an orienteer- ing excursion to the Ganaras- ka Forest, a cycling tour up the Old Scugog Road througb Hampton and Ennskillen, and a sailing adventure along the Newcastle lakeshore. In September a number of local artists demonstrated their work in a variety of settings. Anne Syme introduc- ed a group to watercolour painting in Tyrone Village. Neil Newton discussed his work and surroundings at a barbecue on his farm in Enniskillen. A weaving dem- onstration in the Clarke Li- brary in Orono, and audience participation demonstrations in pottery, model aircraft building and lifedrawing were held in the Visual Arts Centre in the Cream of Barley Mill in Bowmanville. Slide shows on the Montreal Olympics and the Town of Newcastle demon- strated the potential of audio- visual techniques. Among local groups and persons participating in the Newcastle game were the Clarke Orienteering Club, the Port Darlington Marina, the tho Clarke Museum,entre Centr-al Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority, the Kendal UJnited Church Women, Gould's Photography Shop, McSweeney's Incomne Tax Service, Bruce Lush of the Lions Centre, Clyde Wilson of Durham College, Jack Gordon of Newcastle Village, and artists, Mary Doezema, Carol Reynolds, Eli Van Ryn, Austin Stephens, as well as those isted above. With the introduction of thc brochure and associated act- ivities to encourage participa- tion in designing the map the local cultural olympic cele- bration will come to an end. Funding for the cultural olympic program was through a grant from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation from the proceeds of Wintario. The Newcastle Game will continue as a special project of the Visual Arts Centre to explore the local environment of the Town of Newcastle. It is hoped that the map will be available by late 1977. SELF-DECEPTION The biggest mistake people in make is to be sure they mi't possibly make one. 870,000 winners and evidence tends to show that rather than encouraging or promoting, "avarice or greed", quite the opposite is the case with winners. The Corporation's files and newspapers are full of examp- les of winners who have divided their winnings among their chîldren or assisted relatives or friends pay off their mortgages or plan gifts for travel and education. There was even one winner who donated his entire $10,000 to charity. As you know, even non-win- ners in our lottery share by means of the allocation of the net proceeds of Wintario (an average of 43 cents of every- dollar) to the thousands of worthwhile community sports, cultural and recrea- tional activities and facilities across the Province. To date, the Ministry of Culture and Recreation has committed almost 79 million dollars in the form of Wintario grants to over 5400 projects and groups across the Province. . 2. You argue that "lotteries are immoral, wasteful and degrading. ..in that they legal- ly tell people that their hopes for material wealth are based on chance." However, the purchase pattern of partici- pants seems to indicate that the level of intelligence in Ontario is such that no onei abandons or changes his ethic or quits his job on the chance that he can win $100,000 ori even a million dollars. The1 fact is, most of the major( winners in Wintario have, withj the exeption of a tnip or other brief fling, tended to operate on tbe basis of "business as usual." Most participants play the lottery for fun and entertain- ment. People made that readily evident to the Ontario Lottery Corporation very early in the game when they insisted that the draw be televised and that more num- beifcombinations be selected. More important is the fact that most people do not spend either a great deal of time or money on lotteries. Public surveys indicate that most people purchase only one Wintario ticket per draw and that 92.3 per cent purchase five tickets or less. Participa- tion is general-82 per cent of all households in Ontario-and it cuts across all socio-econ- omic categories actually par- ticipate to a lesser degree than those with more money and thus, the lottery does not appear to be an "unfair burden on the poor." The purchase of a lottery ticket is completely voluntary and thus is no different from any other consumer purchase. And, since profits are used to support sports, cultural and recreational projects and facilities across the Province and the impetus for project assistance originally derives from the local community itself, it is the whole commun- ity and not the rich or elite that benefit from Wintario proceeds. Finally, I would like to clarify the approximate break-down of each Wintario dollar. There are five areas into which each dollar can be divided: retailers' commis- sion (8 cents for every ticket Letter to the Editor The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvilie, December 8, 1976 17 sold); prizes (between 38 cents and 40 cents of your dollar); operating costs (in- cluding 2.3 cents for advertis-, ing and promotion, 1.6 cents for ticket printing, packaging and manufacturing and 2.1 cents for administration) wbich totals 6 cents from every dollar; gross distribu- tion commissions (2½/ cents on the first 100,000 tickets sold and 2 cents thereafter); and profits (an average of 43 cents Editor's note: Your points are aren't needed. r wel taken and ido appreciate your effort at clarifying the situation. Frankly, my opin- ions have changed somewhat since my brother-in-law and his wife won $100,000 recently, Now, if that kind of good fortune could justbe extended a bitcloser to home in the near future I'd be completely sold and on my way to some place where snow shovelling is unheard of and oil burners aren't needed.
