Fingers Crossed as Town
Makes Most of Chance

The season opened, and so did the
gambling houses. The citizens
crossed their fingers and began to
make hay with all their might.
The arrangement was neat and ef-
fective: Gambling in the Town" Z"
which includes the famous Chicago
club near the depot, the poor man. S
Monte Carlo, ran up till 8 pm. After
8 the town closed up and the lake
houses-the expensive restaurants
and night clubs around Saratoga
Lake-Went to work.
Open gambling continued for IA
days, while the townsfolk held their
breath. Business was up one-third
over last year and promised to go
higher. That means all kinds of
business. Landladies of select board
ing houses, regular church-goers,
rooted as hard as every one else for
the steady progress of the music of
the dice and the hum of the wheels.
do you think it's going to last?"
said one lady of extreme gentility to
your correspondent. "It's almost too
good to be true"
This lady never had seen a rou-
iette wheel in her life, and did not
know the rules of dice from the
rules of cribbage. Yet she knew the
difference between gambling and no
gambling as well as a growing kid
knows the difference between break
fast and no breakfast,

Is on he'll sell 1t a dozen times with

lucky to get out of the room with
his shirt, let alone his octogenarian
candy.
This has been the situation in
Saratoga for years. The last few
years have been lean ones, with the
lid down tight. This season started
differently.
Herbert H. Lehman, Governor of
New York State, announced badly
a week or so before the season began
that there must be no gambling in
Saratoga except the legalized horse
gambling, through which the State
prospers. He put the matter of en-
forcement into the hands of the
sheriff and district attorney of Sara
toga County and the public safety
commissioner of Saratoga Springs,
the towns leading citizen, known
high and low as Doc Leonard.

Saratoga Fades When
Dominoes Don't Roll
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star

Special Correspondent VI lile cthl'
SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y,
Aug. 21.-Saratoga is as near thing
as America has today to casino
town" a community dedicated to
the proposition that every sucker
wants to beat the races, beat the
wheel and make six passes with the
mobile dominoes.
Thus, when you shut down
gambling in Saratoga during the
season, which is August, you hand
cuff the townsfolk economically It's
like shutting down steel in Pitts
burgh, or outlawing sponges in
Tarpon Springs, Fla, or excom-
municating all the hams in Holly
wood.
The citizens of Saratoga are
honest small people. but
gambling is their racket, or to put
1t more respectfully, their livelihood.
This is true of the butchers. the
bakers. the hackers, the landlords,
and alright down to dirty-faced
urchin of about years named Billy,
who goes through the barroom of the
New Worden Hotel selling one pack
of life savers 10 to Is times a night.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2-The stock
market greeted 194l today with
faint hangoverish appearance as
trading was resumed after the NeV

Gains of fractions to a point or .

but numerous issues staggered along

Aircrafts and specialties picked up
followings, while considerable IL
regularity prevailed in most other
departments. Motors were under
water throughout and closed around
their lows. Selling also cropped up
in steels at the finish.
Volume dwindled to about hal,
that of pre-holiday sessions when
year-end tax-selling contributed %
the activity. Transfers approXimat-

CHICAGO. Jan. 2-The wheat
market greeted the new year With
little trading enthusiasm today as
prices f1uctuated nervously in q mar
row range, but the pit had a firm
undertone much of the session.
Traders associated this underlying
strength. which resulted in small
fractional gains at times, with re-
ports Of Red Gross activity in pick
ing up supplies for relief distribu-
ton and with the tightening domes-
tic supply situation due TO the loan
program. Spot wheat prices were

Heavy Construction Jumps
$50 Per Cent in Month

Spotlighting current high activity
which promises that 194l will be
a record-breaking year for heavy
construction is the sharply increas-
ing total of contracts being under
taken by private interests. Statistics
for a late week in December, says
the Magazine of Wall Street, show
that privately financed construction
awards had a value of $39 800, 900,
or $50 per cent more than in the
corresponding period of 1889. Gains

smaller, totaling the equivalent of
1856 per cent.
Vital in explaining the jump in
private activity is the tidal wave
of public and Federal building and
the interdependent nature of vari-
Gus divisions of our complex in
dustrial system. Government mu-
nitions plans cannot function alone;
they must have fabricated steel.
copper and other metals, they must
have fundamental chemical prod
ucts and supplementary materials.
All in the light of the defense
program. small wonder it Is that
new high records will be reached
in heavy construction this year, and
that further records are visible on
the 1941 horizon.

Detroit's Roller
Skaters Fail;
Get Only I'd
BY MARGARET RUSSELL

CLEVELAND, April PA pair
Of Dayton school kids ran away
with the opening days show in
the national roller skating cham
pionships being held here at the
huge public auditorium.
They are Jack Seifert and Shir-
ley Snyder of the Skating Club of
Dayton and they are the new ma
tional novice figure skating cham
pions.
The two youngsters. only II
years old, have made remarkable
progress in the short time they
have been skating. Last year they
created quite a sensation by win
ming the national junior dance
title here. In novice singles, Jack
was second, Shirley third.
Detroit. much touted to "clean
up" in the novice events, could
get nothing better than a second
when Marion Weissmuller of the
Arena Gardens Club took that
place in novice women's.
BEST AT FIGURES
This competition is judged on
school figures and a program OF
free skating. At end of the first
part of the schedule, Marion, who
is the daughter of the late Adam
Weissmuller. was leading Shirley
by a small margin. But the per-
lection, grace and finished per-
Torrance of the Dayton girls free
skating program brought her the
coveted title.
Second in men s competition
went to- Ed O'Neill of Mineola. N
Y. and third to Cliff Campana Of
Cleveland. Third in women's went
TO Edna Haber Davis of Pitts
burgh.
Today's program will have the
first speed events in which Detroit
hopes to redeem itself; junior boys
and girls figures and junior
dances.

COOP DRIVE
In The EAST
Eastern Co-ops to Launch
Drive in rs Cities as Part of
Nationwide Campaign;
Build for Saner World"
To Be Keynote of Drive.
By LESLIE HART

NEW YORK.-Members of consum-
er co-operatives in some rs eastern
cities will begin, early in October, a
co-ordinated fall drive to acquaint
thousands of their neighbors with the
achievements and detectives of the
American cooperative movement. The
drive, conducted by local co-operatives
affiliated with the Eastern Co-opera-
tive League and Whole in IL eastern
states, will be an integral part of the
first National Coop Drive announced
last week.
Keynotes Of the drive are drawn
from current emergency conditions.
On one hand societies will emphasize
the Importance of financial sound
ness, continuous education, and DEM
ocratic membership participation. One
the other, co-operators will stress
their value as a yardstick for prices,
AMI their belief that the cooperative
movement is one of the few construc-
tive for cescreating a cushion" against
postwar confusion.
The drive will use the slogan,
Build for saner world" as the key
note of the campaign. Materials pro-
vided by Eastern Cooperative League,
educational federation for IL eastern
states, will focus renewed attention
on some of the Spectacular achieve
ments of American co-operatives in
recent years.
Although smaller in number of
families and in dollar volume
than older mid-western developments,
the movement in the east leads in the
food field and has established aston
ishing records for growth. For three
years Eastern Co-opera-
tive Wholesale, which serves more
than $50 locally owned and controlled
cooperative food stores, has shown
annual increases in sales of approx
mately 459c. Volume this year is ex-
pected OF exceed s2,0OO,0O0.
A feature of the fall drive will be
a Circuit Riding" program, which
will involve some 1900 members of
boards of directors of local co-opera-
tives, in a series of twenty meetings
with directors of the league and of
the wholesale, and L. E. Woodcock,
of the wholesale. Local
problems, the general economic pic
ture, and the activities of the whole
sale will be taken up.
