THE TIMES HERALD Friday, September 29, 1972 PORT HURON, MICH. 7A Long Line Forming To Sell State Lottery Tickets Bv JOHN F. BROWN By JOHN F. BROWN Nov. 1 numbers, horses and bingos.

Why not a "Oh sure, I play cards, a little euchre. believe in gambling, but the lottery Times Herald Reporter How would you like to be a lottery sales agent? Formal applications for an estimated 5,000 state lottery ticket agency licenses are being accepted by Gus Harrison, state lottery czar for Michigan. David Hanson, information specialist for the state lottery, said, "Almost all of our application forms have been sent out. Yes, we do have some from the Port Huron area. But I can't give you the names.

Right now we are just filing numerically. "Persons writing for a form should not be too concerned if they don't get them right away. Eventually we will get the forms to them." Who may apply? "Anyone yes, housewives too may apply. We are accepting applications from everyone," Hanson said. "As to how we will pick the 5,000 that we need, well, that's another problem.

Right now we have no definite plan as to how they will be picked," Hanson said. The Bureau of State Lottery will probably start deciding who will be licensed to sell the 50-cent lottery tickets about long as a person can afford it. But I don't believe in spending the food money. "Sure I'll buy these lottery tickets. It isn't just the men who will buy the tickets.

The success of the lottery program depends on how the state conducts it. "The first thing people playing the lottery should use is their head and if you don't have the money don't play," she said. Mrs. J.H. Wheeler, 3718 Norman Road, said, "I would welcome the opportunity to become a lottery agent.

No, I'm not against gambling as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. "Sure I'll buy a ticket if 1 have the chance. It sure would help the grocery-bill if you hit a winner. "I believe it's a good thing for the stale and we all know the state needs a little help. It just may turn out to be a good thing," she said.

James E. Gamble, 1119 Scott Avenue, said, "There is money to be made in this business and I would like to be able to supplement my social security by becoming an agent. "I'll buy a ticket once in awhile, but you can't buy too many on Social Security. Listen, don't get me wrong, I don't Those submitting application forms will also be asked to include a State Police identification card. This involves going to a State Police post or local police department and being fingerprinted.

Hanson said the bureau hopes to have one licensed lottery vendor for each 1,800 people in Michigan. It is looking for prospective vendors who would be able to sell 250 tickets a week. He said there is no fee when a person asks for an application and all persons who apply will be notified of the bureau's decision. The Times Herald surveyed local readers to get their reactions to the lottery and how they feel about becoming a lottery sales agent. Mrs.

John L. Deal, 2519 Cherry Street, said, "If I had the time they wouldn't have to ask me twice. I would like to be an agent for the lottery. "Some people say it's gambling. Well, I don't have anything against gambling and besides the state made it legal the lottery I mean.

"Why, my goodness, they are doing it anyway and now maybe it will do some good. There is betting right now with the lottery? "My husband says he is going to buy a ticket every day. It's a chance and you just have to have some luck to be a winner, and it sure would be nice to get a winning ticket. "This lottery could even become a winner for the state and everyone knows the state needs help," Mrs. Deal said.

George E. Betts, 1108 Rawlins Street, said, "Well sir, this lottery business isn't too much in the favor of my religion. "I don't believe my conscience would allow me to become an agent for something like this. I prefer earning my daily bread by the sweat of my brow. "Oh, sure, I've bought raffle tickets before on a car and things like that and I probably would buy a lottery ticket.

I would like to be a winner. But I just wouldn't be able to sell them, at least not before I checked first with my minister. "I just wouldn't want a guilt feeling. As for other people I can't judge someone else, just myself," Betts said. Mrs.

C. E. Chance, 1329 Pine Street, said, "Frankly I don't care too much about this lottery business I'm not against gambling. but not for any big money. We just don't play for blood at the senior citizens' hall.

"It's just for pleasure and fun. I would not sell these tickets and I would not take a chance on them. "What other people are going to do when it comes to the lottery is their business and they will just have to let their conscience be their guide," Mrs. Chance said. Rev.

Robert E. McQuaid, pastor of the First Baptist Church, said, "Well. I'm still opposed to the lottery. "I fought it in the beginning and I'm still against it. "No, I will not buy a ticket and I certainly wouldn't become a part of this by even considering to sell them.

"I don't believe the state should encourage gambling. I don't believe this is going to solve all the financial problems of the state and this certainly isn't the final solution," he said. Mrs. Roger E. Rich, 50, Mack Avenue, Marysville, said, "First of all I would have to talk it over with my husband.

But 1 believe if I had the chance I would like to get involved with this. "No way am I against gambling as that's something else and it is legal. No, it wouldn't bother me to sell them," he said. Patrolman Roger S. Price, said, "Personally I wouldn't want to sell them.

As a police officer I don't believe I'm in a position where I should be selling tickets. Even though the lottery is legal I still don't believe law enforcement officers should become an agent for something like this. "Sure 1 would like to be a lottery winner. I believe everyone would. Even though there will be some law enforcement officers who will be trying to sell these tickets 1 just don't believe it's right.

I will not become a part of it not right now anyway," he said. Mis. Cari R. Poor. 2610 North Range Road, said, "Really I don't know too much about the lottery, but I don't believe I would ever want to be an agent.

"As to buying a ticket, I might. But I'm still not saying 1 definitely would. It all sounds like gambling to me and I'm against that. Ihit I would like to win, who wouldn't," she said. Applications are available through the Bureau of Stale Lottery, 1000 Long Boulevard, Suite 14, Lansing, 48913.

County Buys Transmitter In Fort Gratiot The St. Clair County Board of Commissioners Wednesday approved the purchase of a new $4,164 fire and civil defense alert radio transmitter. The transmitter will be purchased from Conant Radio Communications Service. Port Huron No other bids for the equipment were received. Board Vetoes Campground Presiding Judge William V.

Simpson had requested the amount to meet increased need for the attorneys resulting from a change in state law. Hie board referred to the Board of Auditors a request from the County Health Department for an additional SI, 225 for travel expenses. Dr. Robert E. Rowe, director, said the expenses are for Emergency Employment Act employes hired by the department.

Commissioner Smiley noted an error in a previous report by The Times Herald concerning parking problems at the St. Clair County Library. A motion by Smiley at the board's Sept. 13 meeting, to request county and other em Littite Granted Extension The Michigan Air Pollultion Control Commission in Lan-s i has granted Littite Foundries, 2431 Conner Street, an extension to next July 1 to prepare an acceptable pollution abatement plan in compliance with state regulations. The voluntary agreement made between the iron foundry and state commission puts the company on notice that a plan to abate atmospheric particulates must be submitted by July or the plant must close down, a commission official indicated.

The official said the commission granted the extension because the company is having "economic problems." The agreement, whereby no order is handed down by the commission, reportedly is allowed under a new regulation recently adopted by the state. Commissioner William Smiley (Fort Gratiot) said the present transmitter, operated by the Sheriff Department, is wearing out and needs replacement. I he system selves some fire departments ami many schools and businesses. In other business Wednesday, the commissioners rejected a request by Ralph C. Welser, county drain commissioner, for an additional $7,0110 appropriation for the drain-at-large fund for the current fiscal year.

The County Board of Auditors reported that there is no immediate need for the additional funds. The commissioner instructed the Board of Auditors to set aside $2,0110 for court-appointed attorneys for District Court should the amount be needed. The Fort Gratiot Township Zoning Board of Appeals Thursday night denied by a 3-0 vote a request for special approval to operate a private campground off Lakeshore Road. Voting against the proposal were James Tibedeau, zoning board chairman, and members Charles S. Peterson and James Repp.

The meeting was a public hearing The request was made by Eugene J. Torello, 5445 Lake-shore Road. Torello wanted to construct and operate a na-t i a 1 1 franchised KOA campground on some 25 acres approxiamtely behind the Lakeshore Drive-In. Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, secretary to the zoning board and township planning commis sion, said the board denied the request because of traffic problems on Lakeshore Road and the large number of persons in that area.

She said the 1-hour meeting was attended by some 73 persons. During the public hearing two petitions were presented to the board one containing 75 signatures against the proposal, and one containing 93 signatures in favor of it. Mrs. Johnson said the board took into consideration that most of the signatures against the proposal came from residents living near the area in question. Granting of the special permission (rezoning was not needed) had been recommended by the township planning commission.

Human Rights Kimball Planners A $1 million suit has been started in Federal District Court, Detroit, against St. Clair County Prosecutor Walter W. Turton and Sheriff Norman D. Meharg. The suit was started by Fabian W.

MaGuire, formerly of 5640 Jeddo Road. MaGuire charges that Turton and Meharg deprived him of his freedom without due process of law in connection with a murder case. MaGuire was charged with the fatal shooting Oct. 22, 1970, of Brian L. Juzysta, 18, of 89K0 Wildcat Road, who was hunting on the MaGuire farm with a companion.

MaGuire's second-degree murder trial was in its third day of testimony when his defense attorney attempted to in troduce testimony relative to a lie detector test. Turton moved for a mistrial on the basis that the evidence was not admissable. Circuit Judge Halford I. Streeter granted the motion. MaGuire appealed to the State Court of Appeals when a second trial was scheduled.

He claimed that Streeter was wrong in granting the mistrial and that a new trial would be double jeopardy. The appeals court agreed and ordered the charge against MaGuire dropped. Turton declined comment on the suit. Meharg was not available for comment. MaGuire is now living in Pennsylvania, a spokesman for his attorney said.

There is also a provision to let the states arrange with the federal government to collect state income taxes. In addition, there is the possibility of inclusion of an allowance permitting state legislatures to alter the distribution formula to make it more equitable in their states, reports indicate. There was a warning this week from a non-government group that the federal government might be making a big mistake in making the revenue sharing funds available. A report by the privately financed American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research said: "The federal government may be in the process of beggaring itself to relieve many state and local governments from having to finance outlays that may never be needed." Shared federal revenue, however, is eagerly awaited by local governments, some of which have reportedly included it in their current budgets. Some city officials across the nation have said it is vital to stave off municipal bankruptcy, it has been indicated.

Locally, city and county officials have not yet decided exactly where to spend the money, but indicate they will have no problem using H. House Burglary Burglars went through a milk chute in the side of a home at 2540 Sharon Lane to take a $200 portable television set, St. Clair County Sheriff Deputies said.
