— Lancaster Farming. Saturday. October 4 From Where We Have A Safe Hunt Today Well, today it's off to the woods and ipen fields witi urn in hand and old Spot dioad will) nose to the ground hunting labbits. King-Necked Pheasants or Quail, t will be a day of fun and relaxation un ess you are curried back on a stretcher a ictim of a hunting accident like a number 1 limiters are each > ear. The rules for gun safely would fill many -ooks. but they are fairly simple, founded n down-to-earth common sense. In tact, it s the \cry simplicity of the rules that en .ourage some gun handlers to ignore or by pass them. In the heat ot the hunt, many shooters orget that their weapons will shoot just as iccurately and as deadly when pointed away from the line of sight as they will when aimed at game. Before >ou go into the fields this >car, think over these simple rules; see how common-sense they are. and see how very ittle time and ettort is involved in observ .ng them. Know what you are firing at before you lull the trigger. Everyone knows this ru'e. et every year several "hunters are killed )y companions w ho thought the rustle in the jushes was made b.v a rabbit. Ne\er climb o\er or through a fence vithout first unloading the gun. We know ou might miss a shot at a pheasant, but hat is better than shooting yourself or a companion and spending time in a hospital or worse Never shoot at hard, flat surfaces; rico chets can wound and kill This rule includes oeing sure of your background as well as your target Shooting towards buildings or highways can be as dangerous as taking direct aim at people'or property. Keep guns and ammunition away from children. This does not mean just babies The pre-teen youngster who has seen his lather handling the gun in the house but never in the field has no way of knowing the terrible force enclosed in those shiny shells. Teenagers often handle guns safely, but they should demonstrate that they know and use safe practices before going hunting alone. Be absolutely sure guns earned into camp or the house are unloaded. Keep them cased until your hunting area is reached. Never look down a gun barrel to see it it ■s loaded This rule sounds ridiculous, but breaking it is the cause of deaths every year. Treat every gun as if it were loaded Never point the gun at anything you don’t want to shoot, and always keep the safety on until you are ready to shoot Remember that alcohol and ammuni tion can make a deadly mixture In sum. treat a gun with the respect it deserves Work on the principle that it is al- Farm News This Week IFYE From Israel Visits Lancaster Co.

We know it is too much to expect, or even hope for. hut if everyone follows these rules, all the armies of hunters yourself included will come home tonight under their own power. At least that's the way it looks from where we stand. Sneaky Switch Following the announcement of price increases by one of the nation’s major auto manufacturers, the President's cabinet committee on price stability noted that this action was "a. severe setback to the cause of price stability.” The further observation was made that if the automobile industry as a whole followed the pattern of this xme company, it would cost “. . . the American consumer $750 million.” Once again, officials in government are slipping the shoe of blame for the rising prices of inflation on the wrong foot. Out landish federal deficit spending, this year running at some 525 billion, is the primary factor causing inflation. With all the high priced economists working for the govern ment, you would think one of them might look back and discover that on an average, during the past 18 years, every 52.6 billion deficit in the federal government has been accompanied by a one per cent increase in all prices. It is just as simple as that. A Little Cheesy The Pennsylvania Department of Agri culture is going to bat for sharp cheese lovers State Agriculture Secretary Leland H. Bull said the Department’s food inspectors are investigating complaints of mild cheese being incorrectly labeled “very sharp cheese” and “real sharp cheese ” “A man who loves sharp cheese has been flimflammed if the package he takes home turns out to be mild or even medium sham cheese,” Bull said. He said sharp cheese is more expensive because it requires an aging period He add ed that mislabeling cheese is a violation of Pennsylvania’s food law. Oh, well.

HOME COUNTRY Lcmoh for October 27, 39G8 Bocbgrftmrf S<n»Kirr I Pttcr 1:1*2, 10 25,2 I*l7. D«v«li*nal R««rfinf IP«l«rl1*12< rConsider yourself.. .at home!” sings Artful Dodger to Oliver in the musical adaptation of Oliver Twist. For a while, Oliver does just that, making himself "at home” in a group of juvenile petty thieves and pickpockets. He soon realizes, however, that he cannot truly be "at home” there, for there is something better waiting for him. There is anal ogy here-for our lives. We are _ ~, constantly invit- Rcv. Althouse ed and tempted to make ourselves "at home” in this world. Yet the Christian must never forget that there iS‘some thing better waiting for him. His stay here is but a sojourn, a brief stay. That is why the writer of I Peter calls us "aliens” and "exiles.” The two Greek words for these terms, paroikos and paridemos, describe someone who lives for a while in a country that is not his own. It is but his temporary residence. As one whose ultimate destination is a distant homeland, he must not do anything here that would invali date his passport to the far country. Thus the Christian must regard society differently than others. Its morals and values are not necessarily his own. His highest allegiance goes to another [kingdom and thus he must be considered a sojourner, an alien. His residence here is but tem porary. His citizenship, his pass port have been issued elsewhere. A chosen race What then is the Christian’s valid relationship to society? Shall he ignore the world in which he lives? Shall he hidefrom it? Seek to remain aloof from it? No, says Peter. The Christian’s alien influence must be felt here. For he is part of "a chosen race.” Unlike the biological races of man, he does not become a Christian by virture of ancestry or heredity.

He is In vllcd, not because of what he naturally Is, but because of what, by the grace of God, he can be* come. Responding rightly to this call, he must be different. We are also "a royal priest hood.” "Royal" because we serve Christ the King, and "Priesthood” because we are intended to bring others into his service. The priest offers sacrifices and the Christian offers himself sncrlfidally for the sake of the King and hit kingdom. Christians are part of "a holy nation.” To be "holy” means tobe set apart from others for a par ticular purpose. As a "holy nation,” therefore, we are a fellow ship of those who have been marked for a particular mission in this world. Finally, we are "God’s own people.” He has made us, called us, and set us apart so that we might belong to him and servs him alone. It is this loyalty to him above ail else that marks us as aliens and exiles wherever we go in this world. “When in Rome.. All this, of course, has a pur pose. We are "a chosen race,® "a royal priesthood,” a "holy nation,” and "God's own people,” so that we may be witnesses and agents of the home country in this world of darkness. Though this world is not our final destination, though we owe our allegiance to his kingdom alone, we mustfaith fully do our work of representa tion here if we are ever to return to that home country. "When in Rome,” goes the old saying, "do as the Romans do.” But the Christian cannot content himself with simply "fitting in.” If he is a disciple of Christ he can not consider himself at home. He regards this world as "a nice place to visit,” but he does not really want to live here. He will make it as much like the home land as possible, but he will be ready to leave for the home country when the call comes.
