Page 10, The Herald, Thursday, May 3, 1 Lottery c OTTAWA (CP} — Provincial lottery corporations are on the lookout for relailers who sell federal ‘sports pool tickets along with provincial lottery of- ferings and are ready to selze provincial tickets and unplug terminals. _ Since the Canadian Sports Fool Corp. became a reality with proclamation of federal enabling legislation in’ October, provinclal lottery corporations have been warning that outlets for provincial lottery tickets could lose their licences if they also sell federal pool tickets. Federal Sports Minister Jacques Olivier announced Tuesday that sports pool tickets had gone on sale for the first time across the country. An Ontario Lottery Corp. spokesman said although no outlets had yet lost their licences, corporation distributors have been advised to take immediate action © when they find transgressors. Bob Seott, a spokesman for the Atlantic Lottery Corp., said his corporation is trying to assess the situation. “If it's isolated cases then obviously the cor- - poration is not going lo be teo concerned.” Guy Simonis of Western Canada Lottery Foundation said from Winnipeg the ‘foundation has not seized any tickets or turned off any terminals but that could ‘happen. He said permission for a foun- dation representative to take action _against a retailer would have to come from the head office. ’ ao Olivier made his. announcement as Quebec Superior Court heared a provincial application to block such sales while two other related court cases are decided. BEFORE COURT oo The 10 provinces have an action before the Federal Court of Canada claiming. the pool, most proceeds of which are intended to help pay for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, abrogates a 1979 agreement whereby the federal government gave exclusive jurisdiction aver lotteries to the provinces. * Olivier and pool officials have main- tained that while lotteries rely on chance to produce a winner, pools require skill in choosing the winners of ‘selected professional sports events. , Also, they say, the size of the pool jack- pot will depend entirely on the number of $2 tickets sold each week for a chance on a minimum weekly jackpot of $250,000. At the same time, Quebec Superior Court has been hearing an application from the American and National Leagues . against using professional baseball as the basis for the initial pools, Football and hockey are intended to be the basis of later pools, being sold under the general heading of Sport Select, — The baseball officials want the sales’ stopped because, they say, the connection between baseball and gambling sullies the “reputation of the sport. oo Most areas.of the country reported that - Some outlets had pool tickets for first-day sale but all would be stocked by Friday.

Bilt Temple, known as Temperance Willy by friends and less laudatery nicknames by enemies, has won his crusade to keep Toronto's last little “island in an ocean of liquor" free of the demon booze. Th April, for the third time since 1966, Temple’s brigade of drys held off the wels in a plebiscite to decide whether liquor — should be sold in restaurants of West ; Toronto for the first time in i 81 years, , “IT haven't got over it i yel,”” says the 85-year-old j Temple.

For Temple, the 6l-per- cent vote to keep his jigsaw-puzzle-shaped section of ~ Toronto boozeless is more than just a victory against the “selfishness and greed’ of restaurateurs who called for the vate. It’s also one more milestone - in a- life dedicated to wiping out a “dangerous narcotic’’ he believes causes violence, human misery and family breakups. To Temple's way of thinking, if alcohol flows into West Toronto restaurants, it will spill out on to the sidewalks in the form of taverns, winos and an inevitable slide to moral degeneracy.

Gray also criticized the closure, announced Tuesday, noting that ‘“‘this step is not consistent with the firm commitment and action of this government {to) foster . equal _ op- portunities for women..:." But Crombie, his party’s Treasury Board - critic, said Gray ¢ cannot “wash - Margaret’ Mitcliell, ; women public his hands of this matter. “The government’ took all the credit when it set up the office and now it wants to wash its hands of it when closing it down,” said the MP for Toronto's Rosedale riding.

As much to his surprise as anyone’s, he won. And the man he unseated in’ that 1948 election was none other than Ontario’s Progressive Conservative premier, George Drew, But Temple ‘had a few aces up his sleeve.
