Beverley ha inserted her wedding finger in a washer and it was a tight fit. For those who confuse a washer with a washing machine, this was a flat disc, with a hole in the centre. Constable Channing using ex - treme patience and a pair of snips cut the washer off, amid a shower of tears. No harm was done and Beverley will wait until a more | 5.30 mature ate before attempting to wear anything on that finger.

Maybe it was pouring rain on Friday, but did you see that crowd at Teen Town? Yea man, th eold place was bump- ing and no wonder for we do have one real fine record collection if I so myself. oY did you hear that new amp- lifier pour out the mellow notes? think that's Heaven jum. We realize that it creates a mite of a jam when you go to leave at the end of the evening but it is for the protection of your coats 80 I guess we cam stand short wait, eh? A lot of you characters think your Public Relations Committee members are a bunch of real gone squares when they ask you to quiet down but the purpose of this is to keep a good name for your Teen Town, so we doat get pinched for disturbing the peace or causing a riot and when they ask you to keep the fire doors closed that is because we feel if you pay, everybody should hav to pay. Don't consider your 25c¢ a ticket to a dance but as your dues to keep your club running and to better it. Now if some of your real cool lads would come down with a club gpirst in your mind and realize that your executive and commit- tee members are working (free) so you can have fun we would get along a lot better. Nobody is trying to be a big wheel we just want you to have some good clean super- vised) fun so come on down and give us a little co-operation and we'll all have one swell time. There was only one spot dance Friday and it was won by Brenda Newton and Bob Mitchell so next week there will be prizes galore. Till Then, this is a square named Howard saying, "If it's the best you want, it's Teen Town, each and every Friday evening from 8 till 12 (don't forget the 'Get' at O.C.V.I. on Saturdays). By now!"

GAMBLING (Continued From Page 4) significant, on the local level: One influence in the choice of his sub- ject today, he said, was the famil- iar sight last week in Whitby of a car parked all day in front of the post office with a desk on the side- walks from which "lucky" tickets were offered for sale. The law says that nothing can be raffled gener- ally, and that in the case of a charity or church, only up to the value of $50. The speaker observed that the average person sees noth- ing wrong with it. What could be wrong with a door prize?" he ask- ed, adding: "You can hardly go to a Home and School Association meeting without being encouraged by a door prize. The ladies cannot be induced to go to a cooking school without the drawing of prizes. "You can hardly buy groceries without being inveignled to take certain brands for premiums. Even the newspapers do not have confidence that they can sell their papers on C.R.A.

"I think that the time has come to think about the whole subject of gambling," said ev. . Scott, as he surveyed a wide field and pointed out its conse- quences in the realms of the spirit- ual and material. As an illustration of the millions by gambling interests, Rev. Mr. Scott said "We used to whistle when we read of profits of General Mot- ors in one year of about 500 mil- lion, but profits of the gabling gents in North America run about six thousand million, which more than the combined profits of United States Steel, General Motors, Gen- eral Electric -- more than all of the hundred largest US industries. He said that the biggest gambling was done on the sporting events, lhockey, baseball, basketball, ete. Brookmakers' profits run to five hundred million a year. "A book- maker needs only a bank roll and willingness to break the law. He keeps about 15 per cent for profit and limits payoffs on long shots. RAFFLES FOR HOSPITA Registering strong objection to !such events as the Irish sweep- stakes to raise money for hos- pitals, and against the phony sweep- stake tickets that are numerous, Rev. Mr. Scott said that if the money now being sought by the Oshawa General Hospital for exten- sions of its buildings and services had to be raised by lotteries, it would be necessary to sell in our own area tickets to the value of $150 per person. To those who say that money comes from outside places also, Mr. Scott said, 'If you legalize lotteries, the outsiders sell in Whitby and Oshawa too, just as they do now with motor cars; last week Bowmanville, this week Ajax and Kingston; next week Oshawa or 'Smiths Falls.
