Statistics published pub-lished recently in the dally press, reveal that the American people lost $3.00 each, average, last year betting on horse races. When you multiply 13.00 by 190,000,000, the estimated number num-ber of men, women and children In the US, the product is the stunning amount of 8570,000,000. Quite a tidy sum to lose in a year supporting- the bangtails and those who profit thereby. Betting on horse races is Just like any other form of gambling. -It becomes compulsive In time. When It does, the habit is Just as expensive and degrading as alcoholism al-coholism or drug addiction. Received a note and a newspaper news-paper clipping some time back from a gal who lives in Las Vegas. Veg-as. She was really burned up. Someone had sent her a copy of Battle Creek Breeze, wherein I had alluded to her home town as "a wicked city." Her note, penned at the bottom of the clipping, clip-ping, read, "As per your column sent to me about Las Vegas being be-ing a wicked city, Hal A letter ' will follow thi." So far the letter has failed to arrive. ' Tha clipping contlned pictures of five Las Vegans and their an- . awers to the question: "Is Las Vegas more sinful than the average aver-age American City its size?" Answering were one woman and four men. The woman was a '"business" woman and the men were an air-condltlonlng air-condltlonlng worker, a promoter, a sheet metal worker and an an- ' tomoblle dealer. Don't know why no mothers, school teachers, welfare wel-fare workers, Juvenile officers, , bishops, or ministers were allowed to answer the question. Also, don't know what type of business the woman was in. However, each one of the five voiced the opinion that things morally In Las Vegus were not all bad. One man admitted that "gambling was their main m-' m-' dustry" and therefore the city received re-ceived "more publicity" on that account Oh well, if gambling is a such a wonderful industry, why complain com-plain if the fact gets wide publicity? public-ity? ' For the benefit of my Las Vegas correspondent, let me quote a few Irrefutable facts: There are 3.5 million habitual gamblers in the United States, one million more than there are ' alcoholics and 100 times as many as there are known drug addicts. The results of an exhaustive study by University of Chicago psychologosts reveals that one out of three persons who venture into gambling becomes a helpless victim of a pack of cards, the slot machine, the roulette wheal, the crap table or the horse race track. Not much can be said of an "industry" that wrecks such Immoral havoc on the American ' public. Just three questions I would . hke to ask my Las Vegas friend. Who actually owns the huge hotels ho-tels and gambling casinos In Las Vegas? What kind of people are they? ' And finally, who profits in a big way from the money tost by those who support , the "industry?" "indus-try?" -vv. .... So long 'ta Thursday.
