POLITICAL DEBATE

“Resolved that the Liberty Party offers a safer and saner way out of the depression than the Socialist Party does” will be the subject of debate next Tuesday evening, June 20 at 8 o’clock standard time at the Criminal Court building in Crown Point. Mr. H. Oscar Stevens, 1932 Liberty Party candidate for Governor of South Dakota, and Mr. Mario B. Tomsick, 1932 Socialist candidate for Judge Circuit Court of Lake County, will be the debaters and Mayor Vincent Youkey, of Crown Point, will be chairman. An announcement was made on Tuesday that plans for holding a fair at Kankakee had been abandoned for this year, owing to business conditions and the nearness to the Century of Progress. This will be the first time in forty years that an annual fair has not been held at Kankakee. The fact that no fair will be held there this year should work to the advantage of the Lake County Fair.

Representatives of the various Isaac Walton chapters of Hobart, Gary, East Chicago and Hammond and of the Lake County Fish and Game Association were present. Milt Wysong, a representative of the Conservation Department was present and outlined a state wide project to organize conservation units. Julius Rockwell acted as chairman of the meeting. Another meeting will be held this Thursday evening at the same time and place at which an effort towards a permanent organization will be made. Chairman Rockwell urged that every local sportsman who is interested in game conservation be present on Thursday evening.
