It has been brought to my at- tention that due to the fact that I had been an advocate of gamb- ling in the past, that I was not the proper one who should have brought this matter before the City Council. Yes, I have gambled in the past, not only with cards but by purchasing “bolita” tick- ets. It is solely through my past experience with this evil that I take my stand, a stand in order that other young men of our city | do not fall by the wayside. A temptation beckoriing to them from all angles in our city, one in which they can not but help accept due to the fact that our young men have a hard time ob- and they have no form of entertainment other than motion pictures or dances. These all call for money, how then ean our young men but stray into these “joints” seeking something to oceupy their time? In explaining the question of a “blue law”, this was nothing more or less in my opinion but a spite- ful comeback at me. Personally I do not advocate a “blue law”. An attempt to impress the gen. eral public that I was the direct cause of the enforcement of sami has been made. | I have been approached by cer- | tain public officials who request- | ed that I listen to them. In oth: er words, they thought that I was subject to their control. My only | interest is the welfare of this/ community and absolutely refuse | to listen to any advice that will prove detrimental to it. WILL E. P. ROBERTS.
