In 1953 there were 2,450 fatal accidents?1,000 in homes and 1,450 away from home. Safety education is the rnswer because nearly every accident is caused by ignorance and carelessness ? and lack of training. Observe the following rules: 1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded at all times. 2. Guns carried into camp or home, or when otherwise not in use, must always be unloaded and taken down or have actions open; guns should alway be carried in cases to the shooting area. 3. Always be sure barrel and action are clear of obstructions and that you have only ammunition of the proper size for the gun you are carrying. Remove oil and grease from chamber before firing. A Aluroiip *. ikiwajo LQIiy ^uur yun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stumble; keep the safety on until you are ready to shoot. Keep your finger outside the trigger guard?away from the trigger?until ready to shoot. 5. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger; know the identifying features of the game you intend to hunt. 6. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to kill; avoid all horseplay while handling a gun. 7. Unattended guns should oe unloaded; guns and ammunition should be stored Dinner Club Names Officers A few of the men on the second and third shifts at Clinton Cotton Mills recently organized a Men's Dinner Club. The first dinner was held recently at Epps Eating Place in Greenville with 17 present. Mr. Sam Fortner, retired Supervisor from the Spinning Department, was an honored guest.

Never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with a loader! min: never null n mm o 1 I ' toward you by the muzzle. 9. Never shoot a bullet at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water; when at target practice, be sure your backstop is adequate. 10. Good advice: a. An unloaded gun never goes off. b. Firearms plus foolishness equal disaster. c. The baby can't fire it if he can't find it. d. If it's just to look at, fix it so you can't do anything else with it. e. Guns are safe! Only carelessness and ignorance can make them dangerous. Observance (/ reiv With Ch ristin nit r The observance of Christmas as we know it today is one of joy and peace, making it difficult for us to realize that the holiday has not always been universally recognized and observed. When Pope Gregory sent out missionaries in 601 A.D., he told them to let pagan converts weave the harmless features of their festivals into the spiritual fabric of Christmas observance. The popularity of the Christmas observance grew ,,,; U iU~ Willi IIIC U1 ^IIXISLianitv, but there were setbacks. Abuses of Christmas reached such a pitch in feudal England that the Puritan Parliament outlawed the holiday in 1664. The observance declined until the middle of the 19th century when Charles Dickens published h i s heart - warming "Christmas Carol." The winner in an argument is the man who says the least in the most confusing manner.
