It's that time of year again. And what would you do if, from all across the,and, thousands of letters were-'pour- ing ere=pour- ing in from anxious wives, im- ploring you to reprint your ljunting Safety Tips? Tips, revised and broughtup' to date. On one thing, 1 am -in full agreement with the old-fashion- ed safety rules.' It's the one which says, "Neverr mix gun- powder with alcohol," Ever taste it? Ugh! The reason for that rule is that some hunters will drink anything. Hundreds of women today owe a happy widowhood and a sub- sequent happy remarriage to Smiley's Hunting Safety Tips. * But it's not just the women who want the tips reprinted. Many a veteran hunter has writ- ten to tell me that he owes his life to a careful perusal of them. Here's one such testimonial. "Dear Smiley: I owe my life tiS '2f car@fill ei`u itl`"ef� • O1i Hunting Tips` Last fall, 1 was lost in the bush. For the first two days and nights, I didn't worry, because 1'd done every- thing in the standard manual. I didn't panic. I changed into dry' socks, as they suggest. I looked at my compass anis my watch regularly, which told me 1 was lost and. what time it was. * * "But as night drew down for the third time, I became dis- couraged. I thought of my wife and kiddies. Yes, that's how discouraged I was. Suddenly I remembered your suggestions for lost hunters. You had told us, if lost, to panic like hell, run wildly through the woods in circles, shout at the top of the lungs, pray like an archbishop, fire the rifle. madly, and if all else failed, set fire to the bush. 1 tried it and it worked. I was rescued within 35• minutes. I finish my term for arson this month, and am looking forward , to meeting you in the woods. Yours, veteran Hunter." * * That gives you an ideaof how impractical the ordinary hunt- ing rules are, and how down-to- earth are -mine. That chap might be in there yet, changing his socks and gawking at his com- pass. Never shoot at a part `ridge that resembles your hunting companion, even if it's sitting in a tree. He may have a per- fectly good reason for perching on that limb. :k It is considered unsporting to shoot tractors while the farmer is riding on them. 9 And, of course, it is considered danger- ous tq shoot at farmers. They 'have a nasty habit of shooting aelL,and _are crack_ shots. t a t * Well, let's get on with the OBITUARY GEORGE"ARTHtTTt W1LLf" A father of five small child- ren, George Arthur Willis, died in Alexandra Hospital last week, aged 33. Born in Goderich, the son of It is bad • form to retrieve your own ducks, especially when shooting from a boat. Let the dog go after, the duck. ' If you have no dog, forget about the duck. It is extremely unnerving to--other--sportsmen—tn see_ you frogging it through the reeds, fully clad, with a duck in your teeth. * Always carry a few hand - grenades slung from your belt. They came in handy when you arrive at a barbed-wire fence you can't get over, under, or through. H� The,rap•ist- Is Guest Speaker The Goderich Kinette Club held their second meeting of the, year on October 4 at the playground meeting room. Mrs. Ferguson, occupational therapist at Ontario Hospital, was the guest speaker for the evening. During the business portion of the 'fleeting, Grace. Patterson presenteda budget and finance statement. Conveners were named for the New Year's Eve dance, - and also for the 1Viardi Gras Ball. Anne Doherty reported on welfare, and asked for volun- teers to knit babysets for the Children's Aid Society. A 't -port was presented by Evelyn Gardiner on the equip- ment purchased for the play ground meeting room and kit- chen. She stated that this room is now in daily use by the senior girls from the Queen Elizabeth' Retarded Children's School, as a,,;V4tor1,Sbsxp. w ., served b unch was served Plorence Cummings and Barbara Craw- ford. Robert E. McKinley would like to thank all the people at the nomination meeting in Clin- ton bn Tuesday, September 28, for selecting him to contest the November 8th election in Huron riding as your Progressive Con- servative candidate. If elected on November 8th he is prepared to devote his full time to the task of repre- senting ,the people of Huron at taws and helpinith their problems at home 'as '614—and promptly as Elston Cardiff has done for so many years. He invites you to see him, Syl Apps and the Hon. Charles MacNaughton at the Clinton Legion Hall, Tuesday, October —19, at 8:30 p.m. 40 Never take a chance when you approach fallen game that you have winged. That rabbit may be playing possum. You can avoid a nasty kick right on the hunting boot if you pump about five more shots into him, * * * If you hear something that sounds like the snarling cough of a lion, don't shoot. It's pro- bably your hunting partner, en- joying his first cigaret of the day. * :,: * "Never hand a gun across a fence or into a boat with the muzzle pointing toward yourself. Always make sure it's ,pointing at the other fellow * * Do learn to operate your safe- ty catch. It's humiliating, in the field, to have a deers walk over and lick our face while you're struggling with it. And it's em- barrassing, at the inquest, when you have to admit you don't know when it's on, and when it's off. :k * ;c Edward Willis and Rose Lillian Just a few simple rules to about in a swamp with a dirty great musket.

Employment Boom In County During September, general employment conditions in Gode- rich and Huron County reached the highest level in. many years. C. M. Jutras, manager of the National Employment Office, stated that the number of ap- plicants registered for employ- ment in Huron County at the end of September, 1965, wasthe lowest ever: 134 as .compared with 202 registered applicants in September, 1964. Increased employment oppor _tunities resulted from continued high production levels being maintained in most local , and area firms. Seasonal industries including construction, farming and canning were also greatly responsible for this increase. While labor requirements were generally met, the demand for all types of workers often exceeded the supply.
