OCTOBER. 1960 Hunting Seas As Well As fo Kg* The squirrels, rabbits, birds, and all the other tantalizing targets i n these parts each year about this time begin thumbing their noses at us red-blooded nimrods, daring us to come and git 'em. The challenge is irresistible ? but before we deploy into the field of honor, let. us remember that the squirrels and the rabbits may be safer than we are when we unlimber the old .22 or the 12-guagc. Consider the Rules There are no rules about how we take our rabbits?we may choke them with our bare hands, beat them with our fists, stab or shoot them. The rules are for OUR life and limb. Amateurs and experienced hands alike can always use a i eview of safety precautions. After all. it's not like driving or crossing streets?there's a long layoff between hunting seasons. A leading American company, which each year publishes a moderation message in the interests of greater safety in the field during the hunting season, surveyed several experienced hunters and authorities in the use of firearms to sum up their views of safe hunting practices. We the People of These United State: As time goes on, we can see more and more that if this great nation of ours is to remain a world power and a leader today and tomorrow, we must in some way find understanding and pass it on through examples in our every day living. If we are to prove that our democratic way is right, we must live it. treat others as we would have them treat us. and prove that ours is the good life, with principle. We don't have to approve of their ways of doing things to show them an example, neither do we have to cower from them when thev are around We can have respect and still not be afraid. We realize that today most of the nations of the world understand only force and armament plays a very important part. We can still be tolerant, ask for understanding. and yet be strong. on Has Perils r Squirrels, Bir They have compiled here the experts' "T e n Commandments of Hunting Safety": 1. First and foremost commandment is to treat every weapon?loaded or unloaded with the respect due a loaded gun. Too many news stories about someone who "didn't know it was loaded" point that up. 2. Then too, there's the old 1 saw about carrying your wea- 1 pon?keeping it unloaded when not in use?taking it down nr tia*;inrt iff 'W ?w. >IM ? illg J CO UV. UWII I open?and carrying it in a case to the shooting area. But how manv times do you see these rules violated? All too often. A. The gun barrel is often a cause of accidents. Make sure yours is clear of obstructions (also the action), and that you have ammunition only of the proper size, and load for the gun you are carrying. Remove oil and grease from the chamber before firing too. 4. One safety tip that is often neglected is to carry your gun so you can control the direction of its muzzle. This really covers the "unexpected", such as stumbling over that branch you didn't see buried in the leaves. While you're at it. keep the safety on until you're ready to shoot, too. 5. As you walk along in the woods, there are accident possibilities ever v w h e r e. Be careful?never climb a tree or fence, or jump a ditch with a loaded gun ? it could discharge quite by accident. A Today as our world soothes in discontent and envv, just one little mistake?even a foolish mistake?could pluni?e us into a disastrous war that could destroy our whole civilization. We must keen faith look for peace without appeasement. and stand ready to support all who are on the edges of liberty wherever they may be. Peace is worth talking for just as war could be worth fighting for. Liberty is a precious thing to us. The world should know this by A 1 l - ? iiuw. /-vim 11 iTuuiii niis always been a pillar in our country for us. these people of tlie United States' rHE CLOTHMAKER for Hunters ds &l Rabbits 6. And when you are ready, make absolutely sure of your target before you squeeze the trigger. Always know the identifying features of the game you intend to hunt.. (Rabbits don't say "Moo-o-o") 7. Never point a gun at anything you don't intend to shoot. That's a rule many men learned in service and it applies to hunting as well. That hunters should avoid horseplay goes without saying. but it's a necessary reminder to some practical joker types. 8. Then too. there's the problem of children. Unattended guns should always be unloaded; and guns and ammunition stored away from the reach of curious youngsters. 9. Even when everything is apparently all right, some hunters make costly errors. For example, they'll shoot at a flat, hard surface?or at the surface of water where bullets can ricochet. Before you shoot at target practice, make sure your backstop is adequate. too. 10. One last rule is every bit as important as any of the rest. Drinking has no place in the field while you're stalking game. Soviet Customers Insist oil Quality Even in Soviet Russia the consumer must be satisfied, recent Moscow dispatches tell us. Though the mills and stores are all state-owned enterprises. this hasn't prevented consumers from being dissatisfied with shoddy goods, poor workmanship, lack of variety and color. As a result, many unwanted goods are rotting in warehouses?despite the over-all consumer goods in Russia. Now the Soviet planners are experimenting with something brand new and daring, to Russians?a little free enterprise. Some retail stores are being given the right to demand from the mills the kinds of goods their customers want!
