WORTH LISTENING
Nokes of the Cainadian
Chamber of Commerce visited Wing-
hale recently, after hearing that the
i,usinessmen of the town might be
interested in reorganizing a Cha.111-
ber here. ft is expected that he twill
rel11111 shortly to address a gather
ing of local men.
Whether tn. not \Vi:nghain can
and will support a Chamber remains
to be seen. Certainly there is no
shortage of organizations in the
community — so many in -fact that
some businessmen are finding that
they cannot belong to all that are
seeking membership. On the other
iland, there is plenty of discussion
about 111r tact that the town badly
needs an organization which would
be dedicated to the improvement of
the business life of the community.
In that case the Chamber of Com-
merce ]flight he the answer.
\Ve would suggest that you
watch for the announcement of the
meeting at which the Chamber's
representative will speak and that
von hear what he has to suggest.

STANDARD BELTS
At a press conference last week
'T'ransport i\1inister Jai -nes Auld said
that in the near future regulations
would be made by his department
regarding standards and speeific'a-
1ions for seat belts sold for use in
motor vehicles.
lit,- said that through educational
programs many motorists are now
buying seat belts to provide added
lira!ertion in the event of accidents.
Under these circumstances lvfr. Auld
thought it desirable for the govern-
ment to provide necessary standards
and specifications by regulation to
assure the protection of the public.
R egulations,he continued, would
prohibit the sale of any seat belts
that olid not meet the standards re-
commended by the Canadian. Stand-
ards Association or the Society of
Automotive Engineers and did not
hear a stamp indica.ting compliance
with these standards.

ONE MOMENT, PLEASEI
HIGH EXPLOSIVE
There are many difficulties in-
volved in the passage of Scripture
known as "The Great Connnission"
given by Jesus to His disciples, •--
"Go ye into all the world and teach
all nations!" Whether ,Jesus actu-
ally uttered these words or not
seems of no real consequence. The
truth is that the experience of the
early apostles proved that they had
in the Gospel Message, something
explosive. When it was proclaimed
abroad it seemed to have a chain
reaction, It could not be held back
by any limitation of geography,
nation or race, One writer said:
"The Gospel exploded and came
down ail over the landscape." This
proved the universality of the
Christian message.
Today we think in terms of nu-
elear devices exploding In the ;tp-
per atmosphere, under the sea, or
from under the ground —and the
effect upon the world of the .dan-
gerous fall -out, Many great mes-
sengers of the Gospel have proven
that it has a universal effect when-
ever and wherever it is preached.
A story is told of a minister who
sent a copy of the New Testament,
amongst other books, to be rebound
at a printing -house, When they
were returned he found a label on
the back of the New Testament,
printed in gold letters, it said,
1' .1\tT" There was not room to
print the words 'New Testament'
in full, so the bookbinder had just
used the first letter of each word.

Now that the big shooting match screaming at the top of your lungs
of the century appears to be post- I and firing your gun as fast as you
poned, perhaps we can turn our I can. When you have run out of
breath and ammunition, sit down
quietly and take stock of the situ-
ation, If the stock -taking shows
the shelves to be pretty bare, there
is one solution. It works best if
there's a goad stiff breeze. Just
gather some birch hark, pile it in
a clump of dry brush and start a
roaring bush fire. When the fire-
fighters arrive you are no longer
lost.
One last word of caution,' When
you bag your• first hunter, don't
brag about it.. It just isn't done
in .hunting circles. Don't even al-

notch in your gun. After all, there's
nothing so unusual about your
feat. Any fool can shoot a hunter.
And quite a few do.
attention to a more personal type
of shooting that is no less lethal,
but a lot more fun for all con-
cerned. I refer to hunting,
Each fall I like to print some of
the tips on hunting safely, especial-
ly for the re -assurance of the
wives. But I haven't had the nerve
to do it for the last three years.
Why? Because the last time I
produced a safe -hunting column
there were som rather peculiar, re-
sults. One fellow shot another fel-
low out of a tree, taking him for
a partridge. Don't ask me what this
bird was doing up a tree. Probably
taking a head. on another hunter
who, that same year shot two more
they were moose. Hunters may lack
hunters out of a canoe, claiming
a few of the finer things, but there
is nothing wrong with their ima
gination,
However, I think a decent inter-
val has passed and humanitarian
instincts drive me to make one
more, attempt, to preserve the hu-
man species while it is trying to
extinguish a few other species.
Here goes, and every man for
himself,
O-0'-0
The first and foremost rule of
the' bush is: never mix alcohol and
gunpowder, Tastes like the .devil.
Just use ginger ale, coke, or what.
ever your. normal mixer is.
Before you start off on a hunt-
ing trip look down the barrel of
your gun to make sure nothing
leas built a nest in it since last
year, If you can't see through the
barrel, put in a shell and fire the
gun. This usually removes any ob.
stacles. It sometimes removes the
.head of the hunter as well, but
that's nether here nor there, It's
probably a little of both.
Always have your gun loaded
when driving to the hunting
grounds. If there's a collision, and
they can't eta you ,out of the wreck-
age you can. always shoot your way
out. Beeides,•yon'il. get a real belly -
laugh out of the look on the driv-
er's face when be hits a bump, the
gun goes off, and he has suddenly
aaquired a; no -top convertible
You may find you have to climb
a fence, when you get there. A
lot of hunters are killed trying to
get through or over a fence while
earrying their guns• Don't take
chances. Grasp your gun firmly
by the barrel, take a short run and
sail neatly over, using the musket
as a vaulting pole,
0-0-u
Now, how do we carry the gun?
It should he held in the right hand,
the barrel pointing towards the
ground. And, of course, you always
r'ar.ry it with the safety catch off,
In rase you have to get a quick
shot away. If the gun is held in this
way and you stumble over a root,
you'll. merely shoot off a toe, If
you held it with the barrel point-
ing up, you might shoot your head
off. And losing a toe, especially
that one that's ha.d an ingrown
nail for years, is mueh preferable
to losing one's head. Ask anyone
who's done both.

It's old-fashioned to wear bright
red clothing in the bush, Statistics
show that 98 per cent of hunters
who have been shot in the past ten
years were clad in red garments,
So why not wear something that
blends with the hush? You can
sneak up on the quarry that much
easier, and there's a fair chance
you can sneak past the other hun-
ters without being spotted. If they
do see you, get away your shot

Dear Sir:
I read with interest your editorial
"Let's Take It Easy" in the Octo-
ber 17th issue and I agree whole-
heartedly with everything you say
in it.
I would go farther and add this
to it. According to information 1
have doctors are not in favor of
a medicare plan and since I re-
gard my ,doctor as my hest friend
and I am satisfied nearly every.
one else does also, then •I say for-
get about this medicare plan. Doe.
tors mala, many sacrifices in the
performance of their duties and I
do not think it fair that limitations
he placed on the scope and man-
ner in which he operates,
This medicare plan may deter
many clever young me.n from go-
ing on to college to he ,doctors and
we cannot afford to have this hap-
pen as we do not, have enough
doctors now. I agree with you, let's
take it easy.
Sincerely,
Farm Leader.
