Mrs. :
A | Twas interested in the recent ar-

ticle in-the Province about Bingo and

its legality. But I'm still somewhat
confused.

Bvidently there are two groups
who can legally run Bingo and they
are registered social clubs and char-
‘table or religiows organizations.
Many of the social clubs use their
profits to aid hospitals and other in-
stitutions — BUT this is not neces-
sary under the Criminal Code.

According to the article no ap-
plication to the Vancouver City Hall
for a social club been refused.
Does this mean =
that any group of
people can get to-
gether to form a
club and then run
Bingo? If so, the
law is a farce.

Not long ago; a
focal organization
was faced with
the choice of
turning over their proceeds from
Bingo to a charity such as the Red
Cross or Salvation Army (hospitals,
schools or ambulances did not count
as charities they were informed) or
face a possible prosecution and fine..

If this article is right, all the or-
‘ganization needed to do was apply
for a social club licence, and then

pocket the proceeds. I realize though

that this would perhaps not work
for one event a year.

The club would probably have to
have a permanent address and be
open most of the time.

peel CS They should look on the game as a

That is q laugh ‘for I’m sure that
99 and 9-10% of the Bingo fans play
with the constant hope of winning.
That is the huge drawing card.

One Legion branch gave $75,000
in three years to héspitals from pro
ceeds of Bingo games and I’m won-
dering why some organization could-
n’t make money in this way in Wil-
liams Lake considering our desperate
need for a new hospital? Cash prizes
should be a wonderful inducement to
play Bingo even in Williams Lake.

In New Westminster I went to the

door we paid $1.00 each which en-
titled us to play one card for the
entire evening. Extra cards were 5¢
more on most games 10c on “black-
out” games. Prizes ranged from $7
to $10 with $80 on the jackpot final
game of the evening.

There were almost 200. people
jammed into the 60 x 40 room in the
Elks beautiful new building. The
operators had the latest in equipment
— a “blower” machine which con-
stantly activated the numbered ping-
pong balls in a cage, and automatic
eards which have little black plastic
squares that can he moved over to

Ladies of the Royal Purple were
running a refreshment stand froin
the nearby kitchen. Hot coffee, soft
drinks, cigarettes, chocolate bars,
ete, were brought right to your
table with no break in the game.

1 asked one of the officials if the
game was profitable to them and she
replied “we do alright.” According
to this woman, the amount of prize
money was judged by the crowd and
the number of “extra” cards used.
Many people were playing four cards
at a time; the woman next to me
Played six on the jackpot game.

I would like to say that I won dur-
ing the evening, but although I was
“sweating” several times I never
made the grade.

The young fellow opposite me did
quite well though. He shared on two
bingos, then during the evening the
name of a member was called and if
he was there, he won $20. When the

mame “L. Quesnel” was called the

young man stood up. I took another
look at him and then asked “do you
havea brother working at the Over-
waitea in Williams Lake? Of course
the answer was “yes” and from then
on it was like old home week. Their
sister Anita was also there, serving
coffee for the Royal Purple. It’s a
small world.

For the benefit of newcomers, the
Quesnel brothers (Lowell's father
and uncle) had the large garage on
Railway Avenue for a number of
years, selling out to the Rottacker
Brothers in 1948. The garage went
up in smoke in a spectacular fire
several years ago.

Novel Presentation

Of Gifts At Shower

Honouring Nurse

Miss Yvonne Parliament, R.N. was
the surprised recipient of a miscel-
laneous shower last Tuesday eve
ning, November 9th, at the home of
Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Christie, Sr.

There were about 35 associates
and friends present to greet tho
popular bride-elect whose marriage
to Mr. J. O’Fee will take place in
Sacred Heard Rectory. Miss Parlia-
ment, who is on the nursing staff of
the local hospital, has also served a
term as matron here.

The many lovely gifts were pre-
sented in a rather novel way. With
the help of several of her sister
nurs ss Parliament was masked,
gloved’ and gowned and had to un-
fasten her gifts wrapped as a “Mat.
Bundle” topped by two little dolls,
a nurse and farmer, which were
dressed by our genial matron, Mrs.
Leonard. The “operation” was fol-
lowed with so much fun and laugh-
ter that it carried over throughout
the entire evening.
