STATE BOARD NOW
MODIFIES RULING
May Permit Harmless Games of
Chance At Agricultural
Fairs
identification Cards Must Be Furnish.
ed Those Granted Concessions

Ctanectieut'S fair associations may
permit harmless games of chance at
fairs during the coming season with
out sacrificing their state appropria-
ton. This became known when Leon
ard II. Healey, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. announced mod
itication of the recent ruling by the
board that no fair association wishing
to benefit by state aid could permit
games of chance of any kind on the
fair grounds during exhibition days.
As this ruling barred popular games
of chance which. because the prizes
were of small value. were harmless, it
aroused statewide comment. and the
executive committee of the Connect
cut State Fairs Association, appoint
ed d subcommittee to ask the state
board of agriculture to mitigate the
decision, which was made in an effort
tosstamp out gambling for money at
state fairs.
Secretary Healey said he had sent
to the president and secretary of ev-
cry fair association in the state a
pamphlet advising the action taken by
the state board of agriculture Mt a
meeting Auugst 5. The pamphlet
said the subcommittee declared it
could guarantee that officials of the
local fair associations would see that
the rules and regulations as made by
the state board for previous years
were enforced for the coming season.
The board therefore decided to mod
ify its recent ruling as TO games of
chance, voting to prohibit at all agri-
cultural fairs games where money IS
offered as prizes, or where prizes
which have been won are bought back
for cash. If member of the board
apprises fair official that such games
of chance are in progress the official
must cause the arrest or election of
the guilty person.
Fairs receiving state aid must give
every concessionnaire a badge con-
ItaAing a number. This must be worn
prominently on the concessionnaire' S
person, and corresponding number
mast appear on his stand, table or
tent. This will make it impossible
for concessionnaire guilty of run
ming a gambling game to evade the
law BY claiming he is not the man
who rented the privilege.
All indecent shows and shows for
men only are forbidden. The rule
whereby any fair awarding premium
or prize to grade sire cannot re-
ceive state aid is still in force.
