It was the practice of the Northern Etoâ€" + Hockey Association to sell raffle in order to raise approximately $20,000 to cover the operating costs of the "league. Each boy was given a book of ‘ticketsâ€"to sell; the parents had to account " for the unsold tickets which guaranteed _ the league "X" dollars. Objections voiced i by residents plus the law caused the canâ€" _ cellation of theâ€"draw. Unless another means _ to raise funds is found hundred of lads will not be able to play hockey this year. .. Reeve John MacBeth feels the operating . cost of the hockey leagues is way out of .jling and he attributes the extensive costs y ‘to «overâ€"organization, Using professional referees is a useless expenditure, he said, and we agree. He said that after speaking in favor of legalizing letteries he was swamped with letters, telephone ealls, telegrams and personel visits commending his stand, .. Describing himself as a "regâ€" ular churchgoer, more regular than most", he asked those objecting to the legalizing of lotteries on religious grounds if they considered the role of lots or lotteries in the lives of the people "who have given us the greatest treasure of all â€" the Bible". "Would those who seek to deny Canadians the right to participate in lotteries conâ€" demn the 120 apostles menâ€" tioned in the Book of the Acts, for choosing that saint, Matâ€" thims, by a system that is conâ€" demned in his country toâ€" day?" he asked. His most recent speech last week, is reprinted here in full from Hansard: He cited the case of the Caâ€" madian Legion Branch which was $225 for raffling a boat, motor and trailer and the words of the magistrate, who told the lawyer for the Legion Branch concerned that the remedy for the situation was in the hands of the members of parliament, who could change the law. ~*"When an experienced memâ€" ber of the beneh deseribes the present situation in Canada as a situation needing remedy, he is describing it as a blight on the body politic", Mr. Cowan It was suggested that parents pay for the lee time inufiu form of a registration fee at the start of the season and a payâ€"asâ€"youâ€" u' system during the winter.

There are tens of thousancs of peoâ€" ple engaged in this hockey pool business in the country at the present timeâ€"and I can give the house firstâ€"hand inâ€" formation on that. It is part and parcel of the sweepstakes business. I sincerely believe that we should legalize what is now being done by people surâ€" reptitiously. Over $200 million are involvedâ€"in this business and a great deal of it goes out of the country. I do not think the last speaker ever worked for a newspaper or he would not have asked the question, "Would there be enough peoâ€" ple buying sweepstakes tickâ€" ets to justify setting up sweepâ€" stakes in this country?" If he had ever worked for a newsâ€" paper and received the hunâ€" dreds of telephone calls that toms in every day, all day lorg, inquiring as to what second was the third goal scorâ€" ed in the game between soâ€" andâ€"so the day before, he would know the answer to his question. We have made inâ€" quiries about this, and we in the newspaper business know that the second at which a goal is scored is the payâ€"off on the sweepstakes being conducted on hockey games right across the country year after year. Aboyt 12 years ago these lotâ€" tery operators or entrepreâ€" neurs, as they are called, realâ€" ized that if they tried to sell tickets in offices on the numâ€" ber of geals that would be seored in a game, they would finc it very difficult, because once you got up to the "12" figure people did not like payâ€" ing their money and in effect drawing a blank. has introduced such a bill. This means that of the six bills of this nature before the house at the present time, members from four different provinces have spoken in favour of legâ€" alizing that which is being carried on from one end of Canaga to the other. Mr. Raiph Cowan (Yorkâ€" Humber): Mr. Speaker, this is the fourth occasion on which we have had an opportunity to express ourseives on the question of lotteries, and I am mighty glad that a private member from Saskatchewan Sotuhon 1 343 Most men can look back to the time they were playing hockey on a pond in an open field; there was no need for expensive equipment and. referees. However subâ€" divisions have gliminated open spaces forcâ€" ing recreation to be confined to specific areas such as arenas. The greater number of bays has foreed minor hockey to become highly organized since ice time is limited. rnnu will not take the time to watch a ew of the hockey games it is unlikely they will issue a $5 or $10 cheque for their boy‘s registration. To haye the township pay for the hockey expenses out of the recreation budget is impractical without an increase in the mill rate. Adults created the current environment by moving to subâ€"divisions. Youngsters need adequate physical activity and if they are prevented from climbing trees (if they can find one to climb) and playing in streets, something must be provided whereâ€" by they can release their energies, A meeting of all township hockey leagues is to be called early next year to discuss the problem. From our vantage point the only immediate solution is for parents to reach deep into their pockets if they want their boys to play hockey. city was given to the Canadiâ€" an winners.

Th policies of the United States are the product of many men, but in no small measure they bear the imprint of the chief of state. Mr. Kennedy was a good friend of Canada. As a New Englander he had a long and sympathetic awareâ€" ness of its problems. Equally important, he shared a deep friendship and respect with Prime Minister Pearson, two elements that were notably absent in his relationship with the former Conservative leadâ€" er The death of President Kenâ€" nedy raised questionâ€"marks, if not doubts, about the future of Canadianâ€"United States relaâ€" tionships. These two factors combined helped in the reâ€"establishment of a healthy relationship beâ€" tween the two countries earlâ€" ier this year, a relationship which survived despite the barking that went on‘ across the border over such controâ€". This newspaper does not publish the letters of writers Prime Minister Lester Pearâ€" son acknowlegged that Conferâ€" deration faced a time of severe testing, but he remained opâ€" timistic that the test would be passed and in the process a new chapter writtem in Canaâ€" diar history. The end of the first conference provided some indications that there was veaâ€" son for his optimism, but it still remained too early to tell whether or not the apparent progress made was illusory. In the end, only the people of Quebec could answer that question, In his address to a joint meeting of members of the Senate and House of Commons in 1961, Mr. Kennedy himself underlined the broad and intiâ€" mate association between the two countries at almost every level of life. Canada‘s ecoâ€" nomy alone is closely interâ€" connected with that in the United States not only because of the massive volume of trade between the two countries, but also because of the impact of U.S. policies generally on the world economy. The Nation‘s Capital was deeply stirred by two events late last month that could have momentous consequences for Canada in the days to come. The first was the assassinaâ€" tion of President John F. Kenâ€" nedy, which perhaps caused greater shock and grief in Otâ€" tawa than almost any other part of Canada. Here, where the business of governing Canâ€" ada is the constant centre of attention, there was a deep appreciation of the role being played on the world stage by the young and dynamic man who occupied the White House. The second was the beginâ€" ning of an historic series of Federal â€" Provincial conferâ€" ences aimed at establishing a new and firmer basis of Conâ€" federation as Canada prepared to mark the end of its first one hundred years as a nation. Premier Lesage demanded that Ottawa make available by next year 25 per cent of both income and corporation taxes and 100 per cent of succession duties. Furthermore, he called for a revision of the equalizaâ€" tion formula that would proâ€" vide for the payment of grants to bring the per capita revenye of the less wealthy provinces up to the level in the wealthâ€" test province In the event, Prime Minister Pearson agreed to provide for * ~bor ecuglization grants that Alithough less â€" flamboyant than some of his more fiery ministers, Quebec Premier Jean Lesage came to the conâ€" ference with what he once described as an ultimatum of his own. Quebec must receive by next year a substantially increased share of total tax revenue, or else. Just what the "or else" was he never deâ€" fined, but it had dire implicaâ€" tions for Canada. The gathering of Federal and Provincial leaders in Otâ€" tawa the day after President Kennedy‘s funeral took place against the ominous declaraâ€" tions from some powerful voices in Quebec that this marked the beginning of Conâ€" federation‘s last chance. Eithâ€" er the demands of Frenchâ€" Canada for an only vaguely defined place in the sun would be met or it would secede from Confederation. Mr. Lesage could not be too strongly blamed for his posiâ€" tion, since he was being impelâ€" el forward by the strong naâ€" tionalist force inside his own province that threatened to sweep past him unless he moved with the flood tide. What was remarkable about this first conference was the fact that Mr. Lesage made a deliberate attempt to move back from the extreme posiâ€" tion in which he had placed himself. Both he and Prime Minister Pearson denied that any uitimatums had ever been given. Under the present revenue sharing arrangement. the Fedâ€" eral Government this year makes available to the proâ€" inces 17 per cent of income tax. 22 per cent of corporation profits and 50 per cent of sucâ€" cession duties it would otherâ€" wise collect. In addition, it provides equalization grants to bring the per capita revenue of the grovinces from these three direct tax fields and 50 per cent of natural resource revenue up to the national average. It is not likely that there will be any sudden change in U.S. policies under President Lyndon Johpson. Ail reports indicate that he will keep about him most of the key advisors to President Kennedy for some time to come. < By force of circumstances, Presiâ€" dent Johnson would be inclinâ€" ed to be sympathetic to Canâ€" ada‘s point of view. But as a Texan, he has never had any particular reason to be much aware of Canada, except as a competitor for oil producers in his home state, and he has only a casual acquaintanceship with Canada‘s present leaders. Only time will tell whether it will be possible to establish the same close and underâ€" standing ties with his Adminiâ€" stration as Canada briefly enâ€" joyed with that headed by his predecessor. vyersial issues as the Canadian auto tariff incentive plan. wheat sales and the Seafarers‘ International Union. iT MAPPENS o EVERY DAY 4 jz JY While Mr. Lesage indicated he was reluctantly prepared to accept this positien, which repâ€" resented no small accomplishâ€" ment on Mr. Pearson‘s part, the question that remained to be answered was whether or not the Quebec people would would give all eligible proâ€" vinces approximately $75,000,â€" 000 more revenue. But he sugâ€" gested an increase in the provâ€" incial share of tax revenues would have to wait some soluâ€" tion of the related question of turning back to the provinces full responsibility for proâ€" grams in which both levels of government now share costs. Actually, Mr. Pearson was stalling for time in order to prevent this additional burden from being imposed on the Federal treasury in the coming fiscal year. age, they asked why they couldn‘t do it if Daddy could", she added.
