The classical quality of the opening selections contrasted sharply with the comedy of 'Waiting at the Church" and the colorful numbers from the "Firates of Penzance."

A well known marksman and range officer, Mr. A. B. (Al) Young, of the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests was made supervisor. Steady progress Yas been made, where in the beginning there were only 400 instructors there are now 1500, and more than 50 clubs are ac- tively engaged in training new hunter applicants in the safe use of fire- arms and in the principles and inter- pretation of the Ontario Game and Fisheries Act and Regulations. Out of the efforts of 19568 we feel more than '1950 persons were given a train- ing in safe gun handling. ' The Port Perry Rod and Gun Club. as far back as seven years ago decided to do something about fatalities through mis- -handling of fire arms, especially in the teen-age bracket be- cause almost 50% of the accidents seemed to be in this category. Around 1955 Hilton Simpson was made chairman of the shooting com- mittee .and a rigid set of rules and regulations were drawn up so that Club members would be better marks- men and in so doing would be better sportsmen. Mr, Simpson points out that almost half of the accidents were caused by shooters not identifying their target or game properly and then"you add to these, the people who - AB qo killed by guns that were not 0 aded, or so it seemed to all at the time. Since 1952, 40 members of the Club have graduated, three with bronze, silver and gold awards, in a standing, kneeling and sitting position, while ten others have- won their bronze, silver and gold awards. Ten have qualified for their bronze and silver and 17 have earned their bronze thus far. During the season the committee meet each Thursday night at the school gymnasium, rifles are checked by the members, shells are supplied at a nominal fee and every effort 1s made to insure absolute safety in the { handling of men and firarms during the evening. So far the records show that Dor- othy Naples has won her bronze and silver award while Anne Spears has earned her bronze. So the ladies are 'mmbers of the Club. On Thursday evenings several mem- bers of the Club come up to the P.P. H.8. for their target practice, and for their marksmanship pins, among the best of them _are Mrs. Dorothy Naples who is pinning down the bull- seye with a 98-100, Art Brock who is in the 98-100 class, Brian Simpson 90-95, Jack Healey 98-100, and Mrs. Lola McEachern 86-80. Others 'who have just started this season are shooting for their bronze pins are not yet up in the higher bracket. It was at the last Club meeting that th chairman of the shooting commit- tee made the announcement' that vi. sitors were welcome. becoming better shots and welcome Front Row (left to right)--Alvin H.
