AFFIRMATIVE WINS
LOTTERY PROPOSAL
u. S. Should Adopt Ma
tiOnal Plan Claim Sue
cessful Speakers

A team composed Of Miss Mary
Sheehan, Miss Elizabeth Hickey
and Mrs. Frank Hickey argued sue
cessfully for a national lottery III
the United States at a meeting Of
the Waterbury Public Speaking
Club last night. They argued that
a federal lottery here would keep
in this country many millions Of
dollars that now go abroad and
would increase the governments
finances.
The losing team consisted of
John Brady, George Haynor and
Paul Lincoln. They argued that a
federal lottery would arouse the
gambling spirit in millions Of peo-
pie and that the net profit to the
government would be small.
Judges were Mrs. Lewis g. Mer-
rill, Walter Torrance and j. Rus
sell Putnam. Philip Won Tobel
presided at the meeting. The de-
cision was on the merits Of the de-
bate, not the merits of the question
and the winning speakers said
later that personally that they were
opposed to any federal lottery.

ally to the population and industry

Of the increase.
There is another refuge for these
people. Many have gone to farming
on land that is too poor to give
anyone more than the most meagre
livelihood and which in many cases
ought not to be farmed at all, de-
partment experts say. This, they
say, intensifies the problem of con-

according to Secretary Wallace.
DR.. T. j. Woofter, Jr., Agriculture
Departments top expert on popula-
ton trends, tells where they have
been going in recent years.
He says the biggest part Of this
population increase is in regions
least able to take care of people
already living there-the Appala-
chan mountain area, the southern
cotton belt, the Great Lakes cutover
region, the great plains and the ex-
IRENE southwest.
There's a close correlation be-
tween low agricultural income and

Washington, March 13-Although
opportunity in agriculture is stead
lily contracting, the nation each
year has a larger number OF peo-
pie who have got to make living
on the farm If they are going to
make living at all, according to
Department of Agriculture surveys.
The department estimates that
American agriculture today could
get along with 100000 fewer
workers than it needed in 1929 -
yet sin ,e 1929 the farm population
has risen by 100000.
Present farm families have enough
children already born to increase
the working population by 100000
