Many Lottery Events Obtain Approval In First Nine Months of Licencing More than 20, 000 lottery events with a total prize money of $15, 767, 626 have been auth- orized in the first nine months of 1970 in Ontario, according to figures released today by Hon- ourable Bert Lawrence, Minister of the Department of Financial and Commercial Affairs. Bingos are by far the most pop- ular form, making up 83 percent of all licensed fund-raising proj- ects. However, raffles raise more money for charitable purp- oses, a key element in any lottery established by a change in the Criminal Code of Canada as of January 1 of this year. A charitable object or purpose includes relief of poverty, educ- ation, advancement of religion or any purpose beneficial to the community. Of a total of 20, 251 events licesed under the new regulations 16, 550 were bingos and 3, 443 were raffles, with raffles raising from 45 to 65 percent of the total take for charity, and bing- os raising 20 to 30 percent. In addition, 697 games of chance were licensed at 135 fall fairs. Welland, with a population • of some 43, 000 emerged as the gamblingest municipality in the province with bingos and raffles totalling $1, 263, 660 in prize money. Ottawa with $790, 028, St. Catherines with $645, 054; . City of Toronto with $632, 981; and Windsor with $500, 000 were the next four top municipalities. Ottawa issued 1, 364 licences, the most of any municipality, followed by Welland with 753, Windsor with 675, St. Cather- ines with 663 and North Bay with, 577. Bingos appear to serve a double barrelled purpose. They riot only raise funds, but, equally import- ant, are a social amenity. Com- pared to other forms of gambling bingos supply the greatest a- mount of entertainment for the smallest amount of money in- vested. "Where else can people go, and for an average of four dol- lars, enjoy three hours of enter- tainment with an opportunity at the same time, of winning a few dollars?" asked Mr. Law- rence, Regulations established in January when lotteries became the responsibility of the prov- ince under the amendment to the Criminal Code, provide that municipalities issue licenses where total prizes do not exceed $3, 500. Prize money greater than $3, 500 requires a provin- cial licence. The third category of licensing agricultural societ- ies and operators of games of chance for cash at fall fairs and public places of amusement also requires a provincial licence, By the end of September, 355 municipalities in the province had issued licences for 16, 242 bingo, 3, 377 raffles, 254 baz- aars for a total of 19, 873 events paying $13, 895, 778 in prize money. The difference between the operation of a bingo and a raffle can best be shown by a comp- arison of the prize money, ad- ministrative costs and donations. The average amount of prize money in raffles is 35 percent of the gross take, while admin-: istrative expenses run about 10 percent leaving about 50 per cent for charitable purposes. This compares with average prize money in bingos of 60 per cent, administrative expenses of 15 per cent and prize money of 25 per cent of the gross. 0 UNICEF is active in over 100 countries, bringing millions of children better health and nut- rition.

A Bluewater B,P, victory party was held on Saturday First Visit to Dentist for Younger Children Should be Pleasant Experience Sometine between the ages of two and three years, a child should make his first visit to the dentist. It is vital that this visit should be a pleasant exp- erience, for it will influence his attitude toward dental care for the rest of his life. He should become familiar with the dentist, his office and equipment without fear. Par- ents should riot talk about pain, but casually concentrate on the beneficial results to health and appearance. A child should be taught to consider the dentist a 'friend, nor a boogy-man or an instrument of punishment. Tell the child what is to take place, but don't over -emphasize, which can arouse fear or suspic- ion. Do not deceive the child. Don't tell him he's going to visit Grandma, only to have him night in honour of our teams' spectacular win over the Farm- er's Union two weeks ago. The party which had all team memb- ers present as well as many well wishers, and fans of the team, was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Durand. wind up wailing in the dentist's chair. Most dentists prefer to , see children in early morning when they are wide awake. Young sters co-operate better when they are not too tired. It is also the time when dentists are not too busy and more time can be spent with them. If the dentist should invite you in the iperating roon, stay in the background, Don't instruct your child. The dentist knows what he wants and two voices are confusing. If the child becomes upset, the dentist may ask you to leave. If so, don't worry, children calm down more readily when parents are not around. Brushing and cleaning of teeth should be taught early and be en- couraged to become an accepted habit of cleanliness. As your child approaches the age of 6 years, he will be able to carry on this habit by himself, Regul- ar visits to the dentist will res- ult in fewer and smaller fillings, avoiding much pain for the child and higher dental bilis for your- self, (Canadian Dental Assiciat- ion. ) ATTENTION: FARMERS WE WANT YOUR CORN And WHITE BEANS (Storage Facilities Available At The Present Time Please Enquire) FIVE UNLOADING PITS GUARANTEE YOU FAST SERVICE '�-"'RV-rw HIGHEST PRICES PAID W.
