Many fam ily groups are involved in the group; the Carlson family sports three generations in the symphony.

Gun Club news With three weeks left in the league participation, the race for the buckles has tightened. Je ff C utsforth and Barry Munkers still sit in first place, while Harvey Childers and Mark Schlichting took over second by one point from Curt Day and Jim Powney. Mike Bennet shot for the first time since the state shoot last April and busted a perfect 25 for 25 at the 16- yard line. It seems he hasn’t lost his shooting eye. After league, three Annie Oaklies were shot with wins going to Chance Day, Munkers and Powney. This was Powney’s first win from the^T yards. Schlichting won the only bushwhacker for the day. At a recent ATA shoot in Walla Walla, Childers shot 97 out o f 100 targets to earn a one-yard handicap. We hope he can still bust targets from the 22-yard line. The first day of Spring, Friday, March 21, will be the first shoot “under the lights.” Shooting will start at 6 p.m. You are invited to “come on out and try your luck at night.” MC Abstract and Title has moved M orrow C ounty Abstract and Title Company has moved from Main Street.
