Page 8 â€"â€" THE TIMES ADVERTISER â€" Thursday, Sept. 27, 1962 With duck and partridge season in full swing, and deer season in the offing, I thought L would borrow a page from Bev Sander‘s book and talk a bit about guns and hunting. This fall I bought a new gun, a slide action .410 shotâ€" gun which I prefer for upland shooting, especially grouse and rabbit. Enclosed in the case with my purch~ ase was a sheet of paper containing the ten commandâ€" ments of shooting safety, a solid gesture on the part of the manufacturer and something everyone who handles a gun should study so I thought I would pass them aâ€" long for anyone who doesn‘t.yet have a copy. TEN COMMANDMENTS 1. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. 2. Watch that muzzle. Learn how to carry your gun safely and use the safety â€" keep it on until ready to 3. Unload guns when not in use, take down or open actions: Transport your gun in a case to the shooting area. 4. Be sure your barrel is clear of obstructions, and that you are carrying only the type of ammunition recomâ€" mended for the gun in your hands. 5. Be very sure of target before you pull that trigger. Know identifying features of the game your are after. 6. Avoid horseplay â€" Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. 7. Never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with a loaded gun. Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. 8. Never shoot at a flat hard surface or water. At tarâ€" get practice be sure your backstop is adequate. 9. Store guns and ammunition separately, beyond the reach of children. .10. Avoid alcoholic beverages before or during shootâ€" These rules were compiled by men who know guns, and cover the firearm at all stages â€" at home, in transit and in the field. They come automatically to any seaâ€" soned hunter who knows his stuff, and most of them are an absolute must in hunting camps. In fact at any orâ€" ganized camps we know, a loaded gun is not allowed within a half mile of the campsite and alcohol and horseplay are just not tolerated. There are a few more rules that are my particular favorites, and perhaps you have a couple yourself. These have to do with the game‘s side of the hunt and since all hunters should be conservation conscious they are important. Know your gun thoroughly. Practice extensively fore the actual hunt so that you can make that first count. Wounded game that escapes to die slow! tragic. . HON Fon We Cnitndeaes Ailibindirinianntbit l hib ind â€" A 30â€"3 344 20 Don‘t hunt game out of season. In addition to the stiff fine and loss of privileges, you are destroying the work of the conservationists and spoiling your own hunting in years to come. Seasons are enforced so that the animals may reproduce safely. Also respect the bag limit. Needless slaughter is not appealing, in fact it is quite senseless. Lastly, if you have a youngster that you want for a hunting companion, start him or her off on the right foot. Teach him the rules of safety, let him earn {esgect for a larger firearm by letting him feel the 2R 2@ â€" ea clan wad P Jean Langley of Moncrief Dr. enters third year General Scienâ€" ce at University of Toromto, former teenager and teacher in the Primary Department of Rexdale United Church. Congratâ€" In the same vein, use the proper gun and especially the proper bullet for the game you are persuing.

Recréation authorities a n d minor sports groups such as the EH.A. feel that while a great deal of effort is being expended in providing recreation for boys in the under 14 age category. Not enough attention has been given to the older boys. The formation of this juvenile hockey series by the Etobicoke Hockey Association is a move to help correct this situation.
