Dr. Thomas W. O’Connor
Dr. O’Connor is Rotary president
Dr. Thomas W. O’Con-
nor, Mount Joy physician,
has been installed as presi-
dent of the Mount Joy
Rotary Club.
He was presented the
president’s gavel, which
had been fashioned from
wood taken from the home
of Rotary’s founder, Paul
Harris, by retiring presi-
dent Jay C. Musser.
The gavel had been pre-
sented some years ago to
the late Henry G. Carpen-
ter, a former Rotary district
governor. Later, the symbol
of the presidency was given
to the Mount Joy club and
for the first time was
The hunter safety course
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission is expanding
its hunter education course
to a minimum of six hours
instruction.
Every youngster who is
under the age of 16 is
required to pass the course
before being eligible to
purchase a hunting license.
The National Rifle As-
sociation established the
first organized hunter safe-
ty training course in 1949.
The training was on a
voluntary basis, by the
NRA, until responsibility
for instruction was assum-
ed by the Pennsylvania
Game Commission in 1958.
In 1969, it became man-
datory for all first-time
presented to an incoming
president last week.
Others taking office with
Dr. O’Connor include: Les-
ter Eshelman, first vice-
president; Dr. Ralph Cole-
man, second vice-presi-
dent; Richard Nolt, secret-
ary; and Joseph Schaeffer,
treasurer.
The new president, with
Musser, Eshelman, Mott,
and Richard Rainbolt, at-
tended a Rotary district
all-day meeting last week
at Harrisburg, held for new
officers and other interest-
ed Rotarians.
Rotary, an International
hunters under the age of 16
to complete the course
before buying hunting li-
censes.
Other states are increas-
ing the scope of their
hunter education courses,
and the number of hours of
instruction is rising. Some
states are already at the
ten-hour level for basic
certification, and a few
require even more training.
Federal guidelines are
now requiring a six-hour
course, and the Game
Commission feels that
hunters can no longer be
adequately trained in four
hours, at least one of which
is devoted to examination
and evaluation.
Service Club, last year
through its foundation,
suppOrted 886 students
throughout the world on
one year ‘‘Rotary Fellow-
ships.”” These university
students continued their
education in a foreign
country of their choice, on
foundation grants costing
more than $7 million. The
foundation grants are made
possible from money raised
by the more than 18,000
Rotary Clubs, in 150 coun-
tries around the world.
Locally, the: Mount Joy
Club sponsors Boy Scout
Troop #39, among its other
community projects.
Under the six-hour
course, one and one-half
hours will be devoted to
knowledge of sporting arms
and ammunition, another
hour and a half will ifivolve
the safe handling of sport-
ing arms, two hours will be
concerned with hunter re-
sponsibility, and the final
hour will be for examina-
tion and evaluation.
Pennsylvanians planning
to hunt in other states
should be sure to check
hunter education training
requirements in those
states well in advance of
the deadline for purchasing
licenses or applying for
permits.
