KEEP SHOOTING A SAFE SPORT With the hunting season all around us once again, 4'd like to pass on to Goderich hunters and hunters -to -be the following common sense points that appeared a while back in a telephone company safety journal. - 1 1, Never carry a 'loaded gun in an automobile, wagon, or other vehicle. Keep it in its case until you start hunting.. . 2. Before shooting, look into the breech and make sure that the barrel or barrels are dear. 3. Keep the safety lock on until just ready to shoot. 4. Never pull a gun through a fence nor carry it over with you. Keep the muzzle pointed away from your- self and others. 5. Never lay a loaded gun down in a boat. Never liFt a gun fry r , boat by the barrel. 6. Don't set a loaded gun against a tree or a fence or leave it lying on , the ground. Even - a playful dog miOht cause it to be discharged. 7. After a fall, or a climb, or after walking over ploughed ground, examine your gun to• make sure the barrels are clear. 8. Never. shoot -at objects indistinctly - seen. 'among frees or bushes; they might be human beings. 9. Before shooting a game, make sure that no house, barn or other building is in the line of fire. 10. Don't leave your gun or shells near a stove, a fire- place or other fire. One other point not covered but important is that it is NEVER open season on telephone poles, conductors or cable. Taking pot shots at vital telephone installatio'n's not only shows a very great lack of maturity but endangers the life and property of people .who depend on the telephone to bring them assis- tance in emergencies. • See our exciting new selection of Harding Acrilan carpet today.
