OVER SIGNS

Friendl

A FIT of pique, brought about by what lottery
officials are calling media mistakes, put a not-
so-fnendly Glen Masson in trouble with the law

Thursday.

Friendly Glen mounted
his first public opposition to
an announced change in
lottery ticket sales Thursday
morning, with a series of
small hand-printed signs he
stuck up around his ticket-
selling booth at 16th and
Lonsdale.

The problem with them
was that he = directed = his
anger not at lottery officials,
but at owners of small
stores

Police were not amused by
his depiction of the mer
chants as ‘‘Japs, Chinks and
Hindus’’ and got a ruling
from the prosecutor that the
signs constituted hate
hteralure

Masson has been warned
that he will be charged if the
signs reappear

The focus of Masson's
anger ts the new lottery game

called Loto-West Sold for
$1. the computerized
Loto West was originally
announced to be the

replacement for the Western

Fxpress, which has
reportedly dechocd in sales
from $b? milhon to $b 2

milhon per week throughout

“I've run this booth for

hours a week. If the Western

forced out of business
