GUN CLUB PLANS
BENEFIT AFFAIR
l(Coniributed)
If you are one who never shot
a gun In your life, you are going
to have an opportunity to feel
the recoil of powder behind lead;
that thrill which shooters, rifle,
shotgun and pistol, call "su
preme." If you have an old "forty
four" under the mattress1 that
you don't need, now that you
have a modern handgun, you are
going to have a chance to get
rid of it, In behalf of a grand
cause and get a lo of personal
satisfaction out of doing it.
If you "Just won't shoot" In
public and haven't that old "44"
under the mattress, another way
will be found for you to "kick
in" with a personal punch for
this great event, because the
Medford Gun club is going to
promote a special carnival trap
shoot for the benefit of the Red
Cross. It promises to be a "root
in, tootin', rlppln', son-of-a-gun"
of an event with so many differ
ent kinds of opportunity shoot
ing, potlucks and auctions in
which anyone can lay his dough
on the line and get a play for the
bullseye, that no "he man or his
"woman" is going to miss it, if
he has to walk to the grounds.
"The "shooting carnival" will
be held shortly after April 1, in
time for the proceeds to be in
cluded in the final figures of the
Jackson County Red Cross cam
paign and has been endorsed by
Chairman Harder of the Jackson
county campaign committee.
Said a gun club officer yes
terday: "These shooters who
have been crying for an oppor
tunity to shoot for several
months are going to get it in a
big way at the Red Cross bene
fit. No doubt every member of
the Medford Gun club will have
made his personal contribution
to the Red Cross, but the organi
zation wants to do its duty col
lectively as well. We expect the
general public to help the cause
and we will tell them all about
the details the week before the
event."
BOB HOPE AND PARTNER

19 (U.R) Comedian Bob Hope,

IONO AGO we decided something about the American fighting
A man. Give him good weapons to fight with and he'll do the
restl
That thought guided ns in building the big Pratt ft Whitney alr
craft engines that keep the B-24 boring relentlessly through the
skies.
It stood at our elbows as we sat down to design the M-18 76-mm,
gun motor carriage.
So it wasn't much of surprise when stories began coming back'
about the Hellcat Stories like the one about the single battalion
of 12 M-18's (hat spent 21 days in continuous action.
ScoreP Four Tigers, two Mark IVs, four armored vehicles
knocked out and hundreds of enemy troops killed, wounded or
captured. Two M-18's damaged, neither beyond repair, and only
minor injuries to tbeir crews I
Stories like that are legion. They account for words like this,
coming straight from the front:
"The vehicle itself is the finest track-laying vehicle in the ermy.
It will outmaneuver any vehicle, to where others won't and has
the speed of a wheeled vehicle. "X" company alone has accounted
for 2S German tanks, two self-propelled tuns and numerous
wagons and trucks."
Thatjs what Buick men and Ordnance officers were after when
they joined hands to develop the M-18. They gave it hitting power
In a high-velocity 76-mm. cannon traction to go anywhere
speed to ou trace any other land vehicle.
And given that much, the boys are doing the job!
