Hunt- ers have been known to carry their firearms up a tree for a better view of ~ the surrounding country and then shoot themselves out of the tree by accident- ally dropping the gun.

Proper foot hygiene and early preventive care, especially among our youth, will contribute sig- nificdntly to alleviating serious prob- spar in life.

Caused by a filtrable virus, warts or verrucae are readily transmitted among persons in close association. 'The incubation period varies from three weeks to several months. Those appearing on the sole of the foot are termed verrucae plantaris or plantar warts. They have a characteristic peb- bly, cauliflower-like surface, on which obstructed blood vessels appear as black dots. Because the foot is a pressure- bearing structure, they become depres- sed below the surface, often are exquis- "itely painful and cause formation of a thick surrounding callous. Some warts disappear spontaneously, but others with "satellites" appearing in other parts of the foot. Response of treatment varies from cure with the simplest measures to. ~ persistence "despite intensive therapy. Plantar warts seem to have the least tendency to spontaneous regression.

There is absolutely no excuse for anyone mistaking a fellow hunter for game. In fact, anyone who pulls the trigger before positively identifying the target is morally committing a criminal act. Yet every year in Ontario" people are killed because an irrespon- sible person shoots at a sound or move- ment in the bush, and claims he mis- took a fellow hunter for a deer, bear or even a partridge. The Ontario Safety League claims that any sane, responsible person will not press the trigger until he can see the complete outline of the game he is shooting and identifies lit without a shadow of a doubt. ~~ No game is worth even a moment of human suffering.
