NRA Award
Received
By Agency
Portland - For the second
year in a row the Oregon
game commission received an
award of merit from the Na
tional Rifle Association of
America for its efforts in pro
moting safe gun handling in
the state of Oregon. The state
was rated as one of the top
10 in the nation for outstand
ing achievement in hunter
safety training during the
year.
Top NRA hunter safety
award was presented to South
Dakota, with Kentucky, Min
nesota, Missouri, Ohio, Okla
homa, Ontario, Utah, Wash
ington, and Oregon rounding
out the top 10 states in the
nation. States receiving these
awards were selected by a
special awards committee of
the International Association
of Game, Fish and Conserva
tion Commissioners at its an
nual meeting held in Denver
last September.
Phi Schneider, state game
director, accepted the award
of merit on behalf of all vol
unteer hunter safety instruc
tors throughout the state and
the students who successfully
passed the hunter safety
courses. He commented that
Oregon's award of merit
would not have been possible
without these volunteer in
structors who donated their
time and services in promot
ing and conducting the hunter
safety program. It was
through the cooperative ef
forts of the game commission,
groups, individuals and stu
dents interested in safe gun
handling that achieved Ore
gon's enviable record in hunt
er safety training, Schneider
said.
The Oregon game commis
sion inaugurated the hunter
safety program in 1958 and
appointed Cal Giesler as pro
gram coordinator on a state
wide basis.
In 1959, the first year of
actual operation, Oregon re
ceived an award of merit
from the NRA for its achieve
ment in hunter safety train
ing. The work load during
1959 and 1960 was carried
out by just over 1,200 qual
ified instructors who conduct
ed classes for more than 6,000
youngsters. During the past
two years not a single gun
accident occurred among
these juveniles who had pas
sed the hunter safety course
of instruction.
Cal Giesler, hunter safety
coordinator, mentioned that
in many sections of the state
the hunter safety program is
lagging because of the lack
of voluntary instructors, es
pecially in the smaller com
munities and more isolated
areas. I
Floyd Patterson
Fighter of Year
New York - (UPB - Heavy
weight champion Floyd Pat
terson was named "Fighter of
the Year" today by the Ring
Magazine for the second time
and credited with perhaps the
outstanding achievement in
professional boxing history.
In its year-end wrap-up of
the sport, the magazine stress
ed that Patterson not only be
came the first man to recap-1
ture the heavyweight crown
last June 20 but he did it in
sensational fashion by turn
ing the tables on favored Inge
mar Johansson and knocking
him out in the fifth round.
It was "possibly the most
spectacular and altogether
noteworthy achievement the
professional ring yet has
seen," stated the article.
Swedish Ingemar had won
the title from Patterson on a
third-round knockout, June
26, 1959.
Patterson of Rockville Cen
tre, N.Y., first won the Ring's
Fighter-of-the-Year award in
1956 because of his knockout
over Archie Moore for the
vacant heavyweight cham
pionship. Guardsmen
