IT SEEMS TO ME BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT Entered as second-class matter, at the postoffice at Brookings, Ore March 7, 1946, under the Act of March 3, 1879. D ewey A kers , F.ditor and Publisher SU BSCRI PTION R ATES: Cracking down on gambling is making headlines in and about Portland. This should have been done years ago, but it took the national scandal o f basketball bribes to bring the movement in the open, and as widespread as it now is. Gambling is as old as man. It is practiced in all nations and always will be. However, when it takes a strangle hold on the economy of the country as it is in the United States, the time is “later than you think.” Natur- aally there exists difference in opinions, but gambling should : never hare the political hold it does today. $3.00 NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS: Kindly notify of any change of address in advance.
