Legalize Sweep Stakes

Canadians are all sweep-stake mind-
ed. Everyone is buying some kind of
nu sweep-stake or a lottery.or a draw-

ing ticket of some kind. They are
working cross word puzzles in hopes
of a prize; much of the radio adver-
tising offers prizes for something and
the people fall for the prize end of. it.
Not only are charities of all kinds be-
nefitted, but some of the enterprises
ire questionable, But if one is not
right nune of them are right, ond so
long as charities are permitted to be-
efit from ‘so-called gambling, many
sinatt people are going to benefit also.
We do not hold that sweep-stakes are
wrong, Quite the reverse. We think
the great majority of the people of
Cunada feel the same, certainly they
act that way. Even some. of those
loudest in their opposition either buy
tickets themselves or permit members
of their families to buy. Then why
hot make sweep-stakes legal: and eon-
trolled. or better still, operated by the
Dominion goverument, and them alone
ain] for the benefit of the whole peo-
tle, The Dominion government hos
ail the organization necessary to con-
duct a grand sweep-stake, in the Royal
Canadian’ Mounted Police, That body
could conduct the entire enterprise,
even to selling the tickets, and at no
extrn cost to the government. Why
not make Canadians honest? Or, let
them be honest?

What About Gas Prices

The. Macdonald Royal Commission
investigating the price of fuel and gas
ech. for a couple of years has finally
handed its report to the provincial
government and by now it should he
hefore the members of the legislature,
Tt is understood that the Commission
reported that the prica of gasoiine ‘in
British Columbia was far too hizh-—~

and drives a car, or is connected in

uses fuel oil, coal oil, flys a plane or
burns a gas lamp, could bave teld the
fovernment, and did tell the govern-
ment, many years ago. But, for some
reason the government permitted the
cil companies to continue their exces-

hns the “intestinal fortitude” as Mrs.
Steeves, M.LA., would say, to take
any action against such strong corpor-
ations as the oil companies. In ease
the government did take any action to
lower the price of zns and ‘oil to the
consumer it is a good bet that Hon.
John Hart would collect such saving
in the way of additional road tnx. So
long as the business: concerns and the
private citizens can struggle under the
load of excessive prices and excessive
taxes, the government will take but
Nile if any notice.

A BIG FIVE INE FISH

The Big Vive in Canadian Atlantic
Fisheries in the following order are
lobsters, cod, sardines, haddock and
herring. They ave all in the million
dollar class. Placing lobster first is
because it harvests the most revenue,.

mest profitable, to taaikind, Men gall
ed ships from Europe centuries ago to
the Banks to gather food for the peo-
ple and cod was what they wanted,’ 1¢
was food and strong food, Today, al-
though lobster leads in money yalue,
it is regarded generally as a delicacy,
a toothsome morsel. Cod means a big
hearty meal, like haddoek and herring,
Last year the lobster catch had a ral-
ue of almost four and a half. million
dollars and came next to salmon.on
the Pnaeific coast. Until a compara-
