Proceeds wilt go Guns Are By JEANETTE HEAD Mail Tribune Correspondent AnnlpBalo - "Guns are seri ous business and we're serious when we talk about them, Fran k Bnum of the Oregon state police and National Rifle association instructor, said re cently. Baum has about 35' vnnnesters. raineing in age from 10 to 17, in a Oregon Hunter Salety course. The children come from Williams Creek. Provolt. Ap plegate, Ruch and Upper Ap plegate areas. Rnnm has taueht. the chil- rlren hnw to handle Buns, and told them they must first learn how to handle them selves. They must learn these 10 commandments of shooting safety: treat every gun as if it is loaded; always p:;Int the muzzle in a safe direction; un load guns when not in use; be sure the barrel is clear of ob structions, and use only prop er size ammunition; be sure of your target before you pull the trigger; never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot: never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with a loaded gun; never snoot at a flat hard surface or water; store euns and ammunition separately, and avoid alcoholic beverages before or during shooting.

Juveniles are in volved in about one-half of hunting accidents, but no juveniles have been involved in accidents among those re ceiving the gun safety instruc tion. This instruction has been available in Oregon for the past two years. Oregon ranks among the top 10 in the nation in safety. Last year Oregon had 66 hunting accidents with 13 fatalities, according to Baum. Some of the exhibits that Baum showed the class includ. ed reclaimed lead from bullets fired into a loose gravel bar. This lead had mushroomed, while the reclaimed lead fired into a solidly packed box of sawdust was torn up. A .22 bullet is dangerous within the range of one mile, while a 30.06 can carry several miles. A number of gun barrels were presented to the group showing the damage caused by obstructions in the barrel or improperly loaded shells or the use of improper shells for that gun. A frequent accident with shotguns is to put a 20 gauge shell into a 12-gauge 3un. The 20-gauge shell will slip forward and remain in the barrel and when a 12 gauge shell is then fired the barrel will blow up, usually causing serious injury to the hunter, A 16-gauge and 20 gauge combination is not quite so dangerous. Old guns often cannot, take the pressure of the modern smokeless gun powder. For eign made guns and firearms should also be checked as they are not made for our size and type of bullets. One of the most frequent hunting accidents is shooting at "brush movements." Too often hunters will think they "see" game and in their haste to make a kill, will fire with out making sure of their tar get. Forest Drake showed the group how to load a shell. This was done not to neces sarily teach shell loading, but to better explain all parts and purpose of the shell. Here again is a chance for confu sion. Often pistol powder is confused with rifle powder. An equal amount of pistol and rifle powder was burned to show the group the much faster action of the pistol pow der over the rifle powder and thus demonstrate what would happen with an incorrectly loaded shell. Bob Mabcn, game biologist for Jackson and Josephine counties, told the group of the game available in the state of Oregon. He told of the three types of deer and explained the differences, the two types of elk, three types of quail, two of grouse, as well as the antelope, pheas ants, pigeons, doves and squir rels. The teeth of the deer and elk are similar to those of cat tle and sheep, namely no top front leeth. The age of deer and elk are not reflected by the number of points on their horns, but by their teeth. Good teeth indicate a young animal. Mabcn showed colored slides of game and birds, and an-!

He showed pictures of good deer feeding grounds and how logging off areas and burning increases the deer feed, as the new growth of brush is the main feed. Old, high brush leaves many hun gry deer. Starvation causes some deer loss. Maben ex plained how a dead deer in the woods is checked to see if starvation was the cause of death. The hind leg is cut into and the bone is broken. If the bone marrow is clear, resem bling jello, the deer starved, but if the marrow shows white, the deer was healthy. The game commission at tempted to introduce the Bob White quail into the area sev eral years ago, but with little success. The birds preferred a more southern climate. The commission hopes to intro duce the Eureopean grey par tridge to the area and are presently raising some to be released later. The game com mission puts out bulletins, giving information about up land birds, big game and wa terfowl. Maben stated that one explanation as to less birds in this area is due to the de creasing number of grain fields and the increase of pas ture land. The group will have one more night class to be held Thursday, March 9. At this time they will review their work, be given instruction in some hunting first aids and take a written test. The group will have a Saturday after noon session when they each will fire .22's at targets and will work their way properly through an obstacle course in groups of three.

Many tall cottonwood trees on the river bottom were uproot ed or torn to pieces. In crash ing to the ground, they scat tered limbs and brush over a wide area. However, no dam age has been reported here to buildings or roofs, although according to reports, the big hay barn on the Hilkey farm in Sams Valley was demolish ed and Charley Hoover, the tree setter, tells us that the Crenshaw barn on Gregory rd. was blown to bits. Ray Wyatt of the Table Rock store, claims his wind gauge registered 40 miles per hour but at times went to 60 or better. Despite hectic weather, a goodly number of local peo ple, and some visitor! from other districts turned out Friday evening for the Com munity club meeting and potluck dinner at the school house. After enjoying a bountiful supply of home cooked food, a short busi ness meeting was held. The balance of the evening was spent visiting with neigh bors, sharing with them their good fortune and sym pathising with them in their problems. There seems to be some mis understanding as to the own ers of the schoolhouse, and who shall give permission to organizations, other than the Sunday school, to meet there. The Table Rock Undenomina tional Sunday school are the sole owners in charge. They have the deed from the for mer owner and have paid out some $2,000 for the purchase price and extensive repairs. This was the proviso in the deal with the former owner. If the building was to be used and managed by local people, they could have it at their of fered price. This statement stemmed from the fact that the own er's family formerly resided there. They deeded the acre of land the building stands on to the school district in 1892. It has been the idea of those who secured the building that it should be used as a commu nity center. That was also the opinion of the school board of District 6C who possessed the building and assisted us in getting it. Since the building of the present school house in 1910, many activities besides school and Sunday school have been carried on there that have been entertaining The low-price compact that looks and drives like twice the Valiants the compact that rarely complains (just like the Valiant owners you know!) What makes Valiant, and the people who own it, so easy going? For one thing, nagging annoyances that beset many other car bodies have been engineered out of Valiant's one-piece welded Unibody. And out where the road bumps are, Valiant's Torsion Aire suspension stays smooth as milk V honey. Remember, too, Valiant's low prices begin $100 lower than last year.

Thi farm boys met evenings to receive mil itary training so lhey could be in readiness should the call come for services to their country. While the ranks of this company have been thinned by the old man wilh the scythe, sev eral members are still liv ing in the valley. During this time a box social was held to raise money to buy liberty bonds. Among fea tures of the program, was a song "Barbara Friichie." by George Andrews, a noted singer of Medford, We can hear him yet when with his strong and melodious voice came out with "Shoot if you must this old gray head." The audience had their pa triotism roused to such an extent that $400, was raised to purchase bonds. The Community club dur ing past years did more busi ness than it has for the last few years. Such things as road improvement, telephone serv ice, blight In orchards, herd laws and electricity were dis cussed and committees were appointed to work on thorn. We headed a committee at one time to work on getting a road through lo Medford. This proved rather difficult even after we got the appro val of the county court. Prop erty owners' prices for right of way had to be scaled down a lot. This is what is now called the Midway road, which is straighter and shorter than the one we had been traveling which went around by Central Point. Another time, the north approach of the Bybee bridge was taken out by flood waters. It was time for or chardisls to fill their smudge oil tanks, and the county court didn't want to do any thing until they put in a per manent approach. Eddie Carl ton, with several members of the local club, met with the court. They agreed to put In a temporary approach, which with the help of some local men, was soon erected.

FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1981 Yreka Man Honored, for Activities In State Agricultural Association Yreka O. G. Steele, OI Yreka, has announced his in tention to retire from the 10th District Agricultural associa tion as soon as a successor is appointed to his position by Gov. Edmund Brown. Steele is the only member of the original board of direc tors still active with the asso ciation. R. A. Walker, of Fort Jones, is the only other living member of the first board. A banquet was held recent ly honoring Steele for his 34 years of service on the board. The Table Rock District Improvement Co. (Table Rock Ditch) will elect officers for the ensuing year at a meeting in the school house, Saturday, March 4. All shareholders are asked to attend.
