Hunters Warned Against Use Of Souvenir Rifles The Pennsylvania Game Commis- sion today issued a warning to sportsmen and others to beware of souvenir guns brought back from the war theatres. The American serviceman is in- herently a souvenir collector. This tendency, however, is very apt to prove a disastrous boomerang in many cases if returning soldiers and sailors follow through on what is only a natural inclination and have their captured Japanese and German military rifle converted into sporting firearms chambered for American-made ammunition, the Commission asserts. This is particularly true with the Japanese Arisaka rifle. Japa- nese arms are not made under the careful manufacturing controls which govern American, British and German manufacture. Some of them might stand conversion to sporting loads, but they are few and far between among the vast numbers of Arisakas of wartime manufacture, which are made of poor metal with inferior workman- ship and sloppy fitting. The best place for a captured Ari- saka is on the wall or in thhe gun- rack as a souvenir. That is the advice of all competent gunsmiths, many of whom consider this rifle more dangerous to the shooter than Damascus barrels on a shotgun. The warning also holds good for guns picked up in the Eur- opean theater of war. Many sol- diers have walked into abondoned munition factories in Germany and helped themselves to what small arms they found. They have no way of knowing whether these guns have ever passed final inspec- tion, whether they've been proof- fired or whether they are “rejects” due to faulty material, workman- ship or mechanism. The average sportsman has no assurance that these abandoned guns do not have a few parts miss- ing. He is generally satisfied if the gun seems to function prop- erly in “dry” (unloaded) shoot- Private William Major, who is stationed at Indiantown Gap, spent the weekend with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

His Jnly proof is in firing the piece, and then the answer may be in the form of very bad news. Already accidents of this type have been reported. This warning applies not only to sportsmen and other adults handling foreign military firearms, but parents must be doubly care- ful that these weapons are well out of reach of the curious fingers of their children. Captured guns are not playthings. They are dan- gerous weapons and should be treated as such by every American. Alice Elston, and children, | THE POST, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1945 ome Lewis. Lt. Comdr.

And the question might possibly come to your mind: “Why a Victory Loan?” Well, we all want a sound, prosperous country. We want to build a sound future. Reconversion costs money. We are get- ting our men into ships and trains and bringing them home, and that costs money. We are nursing and healing our over 300,000 wounded, and that will take money for Remember, this is your last chance to help your coun- try by investing in extra bonds.* The bonds you've bought and the Victory Bonds you buy today, are your sav- ings, your bulwark, a nest egg that you can turn into cash in any time of need.
