The Georgetown Ministerial As
sociation meeting Monday morning
at Grace Methodist Church, un-
animously passed resolution call
ing upon the citizens of Sussex
County to vote mo- on the refer
endum on licensed bingo on Novem-
ber 4th.
The resolution stated:
1.-THE Association calls attention
to the referendum at the coming
election and points out that the
wording on the ballot is deceptive,
for the question is put thus:
do you favor the licensing of the
playing of bingo within the limits
OF Sussex County,"
obviously, no one needs IL
cense to play the game of bingo.
They need license only when they
desire to gamble by such means.
The association is opposed to
gambling in all forms, including
the form of licensed bingo, because
gambling has proved to be destruc-
tive to personality and detrimental
to the moral welfare of the COM
munity.
Gambling also drains away in
come from legitimate business,
costs more for control and dam
age done than it yields in taxes
and so doubly Injuries the material
and spiritual prosperity of the area.
''The association is convinced
that the licensing of bingo would
be another step toward making our
county a haven for professional
gamblers with the horde of vices
which accompanv them"

Olive Holson, general chairmen for
