Phones 171-W2 MARY ADULTS WILL GAMBLE BUT ADMIT WAT GAMBLHMI IS WMga Shocking Report Made by Institute Os Public Opinion According to a survey by the American Institute of Public O pinion about 45 per cent of our adult population indulges in some form of gambling. Yet uk A mencan people- were bUppc^dY greatly shocked at the reports ol the Kefauver Committee. Now most people will admit that organized gambling or big gambling is wrong. It is agreed that it breeds crime and buys on the police and political officials. Yet many of these same people will sanction small-scale gamb ling especially if it includes some worthy institute trying to raise money for a good cause. If our best institutions and organiza tions do not keep the law we can not expect others to do so. Gambling is gambling whether it is on a small scale or large: The dime that a boy plays on a bingo game or cake walk hoping to win a prize is just as big gambling to him as the man who puts $lO on the horses. Small scale gambling and games of chance are the sources. We need to strike gambling at its roots. It is very difficult to explain to boys and girls in a Sunday morning Sunday School class the evils of “playing the horses”, “one arm bandits” and the “numbers racket” when they join in games of chance in a neighborhood com munity project sponsored by their parents. > Quotes following are from two articles that appeared in the “Christian Century” last year on gambling. “The point where the churches have largely failed is that they have not .made sufficiently clear the immorality of gambling, or ganized or unorganized. Gamb ling is worse because the gamb ler gets or loses money without having given or received any thing of value in return.

Organized gambling is wrong because it fosters crim inality, corrupts social relations, degrades every institution which it touches, betrays the element of good faith which underlies all social relations, it makes success ful marriage more difficult. It .makes crooks out of businessmen m crmunais out oi pUunc ox ticiufs, and starts a train ox evixs winch lead to fraud, theft, lying and even murder. Why would the churches hesitate to declare that a thing is wrong whcih has this nature and results in these conse- quences?” “Gambling damages personali ty. Gambling corrupts everything it touches. The gambler assumes the right to take out of society more than .he puts in. This is what Ray Springle meant when . he said gambling is “an easy form of theft.” Gambling then is stealing and is a violation of the commandment, ‘Thou shall not steal.” The original meaning of the word ‘gambler’ was a fradu lent gamester. The gambler is a fraud. He sets out to take some thing that is not his. The Seigels and the Costellos make no pre tense at an honest bargain. The gambler is a fraud first, last and always. Jesus had a good bit to say about honesty, sincerity, and integrity.” Birth Announcements Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Bentley of Hoboken announce the birth of a daughter on Dec. 7, in a Way cross hospital.
