some illegal gambling operations
within the limits of North Caro

legal namely, Carolina Racing

dog track at Moreherd City) that

The references to illegal gamb

Riley in tho News and Observer
recently which was the other side
of a most excellently written story
cbout the legalized pari-mutuel
operated dog track at Morehoad
City, was not startling news to
anyone who has visited any resort,
anywhere in North Carolina, or I
mit'ht modify this statement by
saying, any coastal resort. The
last time I was in the mountains
uns when all s'rangers wore con
sidered as revenue officers until
they could prove they wore not.
So f won't speak for the mountain
resorts. '

of contraption along the 100-mile
coastal beat I cover, that a person
can take a chance on.
Take Nags Head for instance
On the day that Riley story uras
published (actually It Was 8 o'
clock the next morning), I stopped;
at a restaurant on the beach to
get a cup of coffee, feather ana
and a party of friends ihad been
out night -clubbing -and what
needed at the moment to fceep me
awake at the -wheel n our way'
home was benzedrine or black cof4
fee. I was taking the latter and.
listening to the juke box render'
t. Louis Blues on a pipe organ
when some person who knew me
remarked:
"How do they get by with It
down in Carteret County? You
go there every week and ought to
be in the know," he said.
"What do you mead?" I asked
sleepily.
"All that stuff about slot ma-,
chines and gambling things, I read
about in the paper today," he said.
As he talked, this person reach
ed across the counter towards the
cashier to pay his check. As he
did so, he almost knocked s fancy
looking punch board off the count
erone of these punchboards that
costs a quarter to play Bnd pays
off up to $25.00 in cash if you are
lucky enough to hit the right num
ber. "I guess that's your answer," I
replied, as he replaced the pundh
board to its nook beside a jar of
Nabs.
Carteret County is not the only
wicked place, if that is what some
are calling a resort area which
gets a splash of publicity as the
result of things illegal to gamble
on or with, that an alert feature
writer sees with his own eyes with
out making a confidential investi
gation.
Some of the restaurants I visit
along the North Carolina coast
have so many punchboards on dis
play that it becomes extremely dif
ficult at times to maneuver a ham
sandwich and cup of coffee from
the same counter with them.
And that, brother, is not in Car
teret County.
That's why 1 say, if Florida is
getting those many millions out
of her big time gambling enter
prises, why doesn't North Carolina
start cashing in on the punch
boards and other devices illegal
which flourish everywhere, so it
seems to me, with very few inter
missions. Legalized 'operation of
gambling devices which are going
to be operated anyway, could pro
vide some important money for
improving roads, insane asylums,
parks, bridges and many other
things in North Carolina.
