Debate over liquor, gambling laws and hungry children in West Virginia
State police raided a Charleston fraternal club finding five slot machines and 14 tip boards destroyed under court order. The alcohol control commissioner said he cannot revoke the club license if gambling occurs in unlicensed areas, urging legislative changes to cover the whole premises. The Boone County Association for the Needy seeks national guidelines to expand free lunches for hungry children, arguing that reliance on local funds and school principals leads to gaps, and urging funding parity with federal programs to feed all needy children.
