Not only have quantities of bison; horse and manmoth bones been found in Paleolithic caves of France and Spain, but the paintings on, the cave walls show that hunters had a complete knowledge of the ani-. .mals'' habits. Hunting as the basic food quest has persisted into recent times - among some primitive peoples. Today., however, 'professional hunting is only a minor occupa- tion for livelihood because of the great reduction ' in wildlife and the replacement of natural sources by, fur -breeding farms. Hunting for sport is a more com- mon pursuit. Generally speaking, a -rifle is -used for big game and a shotgun is used for small game. North Amerrea's big -game hunting starts, and comes close to ending with deer. Deer herds forage the length and breadth of the conti- nent, -but the rest of North America's big game is mostly confined to the Rocky Mountain states and . Canada. Small game includes rabbits, pheasant, grouse, quail, doves, ducks and geese, and turkey. The conservation and suffi- ciency of game animals, as well as the future of hunting in North America, lies in the hands of dedicated wildlife biologists and game protectorsin the United States and Canada, plus the 1,000,000 members of the Nation, - al Rifle Association. Today, though Americans no longer hunt for food the way they used to, the association's aims are largely the same as they were at its founding. Among many other public -Spirited goals, its purpose is to educate citizens in the safe and efficient use of small arms for pleasure and protection. In its embyonie days, NRA trig- gered markSmanship training and young shooters' training and it originated the natiopwide Hunter Safety Training program. Metnbers of the National Rifle Association believe in the consti- tutional right of citizens to keep and use firearms for legitimate purposes. Will hunting for sport eventually become delempha- sized just as hunting for food has been? According to the NRA, not by a long shot. nt en nment Precision alignment by expert mechanics Trice is for most North American cars (Extra for some cars with air, conditioning I Parts extra if needed • TORSION BARS EXTRA HEEL BALANCE (STATIC) Well remove and clean your front wheel bearings and repack with grease Well also install new grease seals price -for drum brake car EACH • AXLE Well rotate all 5 tires. • inflate them to proper air Wressureand remove . nails and other objects • that may cause tire failure PROX ...••••••• BRAKE OVERHAUL. $ We turn .clrums, arc and install linings„ repack frdnt wheel outer .bearings, add, .brake fluid. 30.000 mile guarantee • • • AKE OVERHAUL Includes rebuilding wheel cYlinders $ on all 4 tkbeels, arc linings: turn drums, repack front bearings.
