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.

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.

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.

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.
