Salem, Oregon, Tuesday,
WW By BOB
NEWS EXPOSES CARELESSNESS
"BOY SHOOTS COMPANION WHILE PLAYING" . . . "YOUNG
STER KILLS SISTER WITH -EMPTY' REVOLVER" . . . These
and similar headlines appear in newspapers all over the country
everyday. And as Will Rogers said about the weather every
body talks about it but nobody does anything about it. Well, that's
not exactly true. Some folks are doing something about it in
terms o providing .courses in rifle instruction and gun handling.
Unfortunately, however, only a few youngsters get the benefit of
this kind of training. The majority of kids must depend upon their
parents for proper instruction, and to be brutally frank about it,
many parents are doing a deplorably bad job.
"BANG, BANG, YOU'RE DEAD!"
The majority of gun accidents result from Improper early
training. From the time they are able to grasp an object in
their small hands, youngsters are given toy guns to play with,
For a period of years, ranging from one to two to life, these
children -go around pointing their guns at everything that
walks, flys or crawls. Children are 'seldom taught to fear the
death-dealing potential of firearms, and when they are big
enough to shoot a larger weapon than their pop-guns, they
have little respect for the instrument of destruction they are '
handling so 'casually.
We see it every day youngsters pointing their "six shooter"
people, shouting "stick'em up!" This may be cute to fond parents
but they may some day bitterly denounce themselves, if a child
of theirs makes the headlines, such as we mentioned at the start
of this columin.
From the time a child is old enough to take instructions, he
should be taught NEVER to point a gun at another person. A well
spanked bottom should be the punishment for the slightest infrac
tion of this rule. A red posterior today might save a life tomorrow.
It's the parents responsibility so much so that we would be inclined
to change that first headline to read "BOY AND PARENTS SHOOT
COMPANION WHILE PLAYING." If you're sickened as much as
we are at the current crop of gun accidents, make your whole family
safety conscious, and influence your friends to do likewise.
STEEL HEADING BETTER
They say the steelheading is getting good on the coast again.
Couldn't prove it by us we haven't been over recently. However,
we'll be on the 'phone Friday morning, getting the latest infor
mation for this column.
Local Ike Waltons will hold an oyster feed this Wednesday at
the clubhouse, starting at 6:30. They'll watch the fights over a
TV set provided by Heiders, and see some movies afterwards. Price
is 50 cents for grown-ups, 25 for kids. ... By the way, why don't
more outdoor tlubs give us a chance to publicize their activities?
A card to us will be all that's necessary to let the folks in Salem
know what you're doing. Are you there, Jabbcrwilkies, Spin-Clubbers,
etc.?

be going against an underdog five
that has won only two of six con
ference starts this season.
The Cougars recall though that
one of the two wins was last

Idaho's pennant hopes and the
Cougars have similar ambitions in
the two game series here.

NEW YORK (VP) Unbeaten
Kentucky, the perennial basket

self back in the spotlight Tuesday
an this time the wildcats didn t
do a thing to cause anyone even
to look at them.
They had a feeler tossed at
them by the promoters of the Na
tional Invitation Tournament Mon
day, but they are ineligible to play
in the event for several reasons:
1. They pledged that they would
participate in no tournaments
other than the NCAA during an
investigation of their over-emphasis
on the sport in 1952.
2. The bylaws of the Southeast'
crn Conference slate mat mere
shall be no game played after the
regular season unless a team plays
in the NCAA tournament.
3. The dates of the tw04tourna
ments make it impossible for the
Wildcats to play in both besides
which the NCAA forbids a team
playing in its tournament to per
form for the NIT.
Asa Bushnell, who directs the
NIT, Implied that Lou Tsioropou

sey, three ol Kentucky a stars
who would be ineligible for the
NCAA, would be welcome in the
Madison Square Garden event.
All three are fifth-year students,
The NCAA does not permit fifth'
year students to play.
