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'

from 10 to 17, in a Oregon
Hunter Salety course.

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

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

shooting.

1,200 hunter safety volunteer
instructors and 6,000 students,
Baum said. 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-!

swered questions asked by the
young hunters and their par
ents. 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.

ernoon wind storm did consid
erable damage here to trees.
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

ranks of this company have
been thinned by the old

eral members are still liv

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

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

court didn't want to do any
thing until they put in a per

with the help of some local
