Several years ago. gambling tried to get into the high school ranks in Indiana by use of cards The.ee cards were similar t<» the football cards that many have Ml’n. except these were mimeographed • ards < oncenimg the local area Thia wax undertaken by a few individuals looking for the dishonest dollar through a means that many will invest a dollar in at about any time. This was cleared up in short order after it broke as the strong IHSAA officials put a quick end to it. The gambling is the single factor in such scandals as the one that broke last week The players very se’dom are asked to throw a game, but simply to control the points. This hit a couple or other v ry great teams in years past, one being the CCNY team that was tops in the nation in the very early fifties Kentucky had some g’otlt athletes approached and Ixmg Island lost a great center in

We don't know what percentage of th--se collisions also involves dr diking, but we do know everything should be d<»ne to eliminate or minimize the opportunity for underaged drivers to obtain liquor through the use of someone else's license or a forged license. The proposal before the Indiana Legislature to put a photograph of the driver on his license would be a step in this direction. Such a pliotograph would aid the police in their investigation of accidents; would aid retail Mores in their identification of purchasers using ciiargv account a, and would aid banks and •tores in their identification of persons cashing checks. But its principal effect would be to provide anyone selling beer, wine or liquor with a positive means of identifying the purchaser of his age, and by cutting down on the source of alcohol for the teenager, it would reduce the tragedy of fatal accidents involving teen-

The quick dollar that is offervd the great athletes, so a gambler can make thousands, hi wiy tempting, especially to a boy who has had it rough in his young life It also takes a pretty daring and desperate person to contact them on such dealings The boys usually know better, but the tem; tat ions aie too great. A minister’s son was even involved in the recent one. However, crashing into an event like a state ton ney, would be almost impossible.

It’s too bid that such a need ax this ranks number one in the minds of many, but the truth of the matter is there, and it is often the truth that hurts. There could be many benefits other than the purchase of liquor to having a picture on your driver’s license. Pictured here is a sample copy of a State of Michigan Driver's License whsii carries a photo of the person to whom tiie license is issued. We are not backing any particular legislation concerning the photo on the license, but if a few cents extra per license can reduce any of the slaughter on the highway, or eventually lead to the stop of constant insurance increales, it would bo some money that would be well spent in comparison to the way many dollars a-e spent by the state government.
