Why fnot take the full maure 1 wouid suppose the big- gest news item in the last couple of weeks lias to be that of the 649 Lottery, the big payoff and the esta.blished revenue for the prov'inces of at teast $28 million from the iast draw itself. The pay-off of $11.8 million lias pushed even Pierre and lis peace mnis- sion to the back pages. The lottery certainiy lias created a lot of buzz throughout the country during this two week period and no doubt there will be a spin-off for somne time yet witli the possible appearance of the winner. 1 was asked what I thouglit of this endeavour by our Provincial govern- ments and just what it was doing to society. Perhaps I'm a poor one to ask sudh a question for I'm not about to take on tlie masses in opposition even thoughl 'm rather cool to the idea and have only purdhased one lottery ticket in my lifetime. The whloe thing is mind-boggling, a mania. $1 3.8 million is beyond our imagination in what it could represent. My oniy repiy was, "Well why not totteries", we tax booze and cigaret- tes, two mnenaces of socie- ty and use the revenue for public purposes. There is no difference in using gambling money to boîster this particular purse. I1liad forgotten about this brief convers>ation uný- Ilater when wthn CBC's Journal and their presentation on prostitu- tion and just liow it was affecting the large cities in Canada. Tlie news story also referred to and lad comments from some of the principals invotved in- cluding the present Royal Commission which is ac- cepting briefs from across the nation., No one seems to have an answer for this age-old bligît on society or at least that was the case with al interviewed on the Jour- nal. 0f course there were some impractical pro- posals by those to the far left and those to tlie far riglit. But really the solution is simple and we have been living with it for several years. I now go back to the question posed to me as to the lotteries. If the provinces can dlean up gambling tîro ugli legalîzing, regutating and tîrougli the promotion of lotteries to the benefit of ail why not have the provinces do the same in prostitution. As far as I can see we migît as well add sex to gambling, booze and cigarettes as revenue pro- ducing avenues. No mat- ter how we look at it pro- stitution is not going to disappear so lets have the provinces legalize it, regulate it and then tax it. We aIl benefit. On a serious note I miglit say that June Caldwetl's approach to the probtem of prostitu- tion on the Journal inter- Christian Women' s Club invitation Christian Women's Club of the Town of Newcastle in- vites you to attend its 3rd monthly dessert-coffee to be held in the Lions Centre on Beech Street in Bowmnanvilte on January 24 from 1:15 to 3:15 p.m. Last month over 100 area women of ail ages enjoyed a reiaxing and informative afternooni.
