Gambling at Raceline in Hudson Bay debated by Canadian Methodist conference
The general conference of the Canadian Methodist church in Victoria condemned race track gambling as a growing evil and urged Parliament to outlaw professional gambling. It pressed stronger penalties for trafficking in women, called for removal of Indian show exploitation, and criticized liquor sales in militia messes. The report also noted a delay in Skill & King obscenity case and delegated further action to Rev. Dr. Chown.
