PAGE Closed By Devices -- Action First Taken in Toronto, Follow- ed By Similar Procedure in Other Cities -- Local Police Not Obliged to Step in, Store Keepers Closing the Machines Voluntarily Quietly and perhaps only noticed by a few, slot machines which for the past six months or so have been fixtures in numerous stores in Osh- awa, as if by magic, have disapp- eared, leaving in most cases bare floor space until their controllers have § ached a definite decision with the Government authorities and will then know whether or not they may continue operating the devices in Oshawa as in the other cities and towns in Ontario, The slot machines as they are known because you place a large nickel in a slot and then pulling a lever release three circular col. umns on which are described cher- ries, lemons, plums and peaches. These have been rather popular, according to those who should know, and while they were in evi- dence their lesees experienced con- giderable sunshine in a business sense. Those who operated them as rule also reported themselves quite satisfied with the results of the rollings of the three cotumns. Although one of the greatest complaints against the machines in Toronto where a test case against them was conducted, was their use by children who in some cases were using their Sunday School collec- tion to place in the slot, Local stores report that very few of the juveniles operated the machines here during all the time that they were installed. Some places in fact refused to allow children to use themy at any time, The day the decision was handed down in Toronto by one of the pro- minent judges against the sin. ma chines on the grounds that they were a gambling device, the local police made a tour of those places in which the machines were housed and found that all but three had heen taken out of the store where they were operated. These three one of which hadn't been in opera- tion for two weeks, were taken By the police who are still retaining them, Action may be taken against the owners. += LEGACY TO THE UNITED C Whitby, Dec. 28--The Unl Chuch of Canada is the chief ficiary under the will of Jo Pim, of Wihtby, who leaves an tate valued at $22,498.
