Germany started her marriage loans
there was an increase in births; then
the rate began to drop and is still
dropping
Why? Because people cannot be
bribed or coerced into having more
children. They resent government in
reference in what they feel should be
a private matter. Most of all they
resent the idea OF raising boys as
cannon fodder. Recently II Duce's
official journal said that Italy has
lost, between 1924 and today, through
a lower birth rate, sufficient electives
to have formed fifteen divisions"

Never hand a gun to anybody

Never carry a loaded gun home or

ing a loaded weapon on the trail,
always keep it locked in the SAFE
position and carry it pointing toward
the open sky. There's no excuse for
toting a gun with the muzzle pointed
toward the ground or some other
member of the party.
Never drag a gun with you or after
you through fence. Many people are
killed that way every year.
Never rest your hands on a gun
muzzle - or support gun muzzle on
your shoe. Thousands of fingers and
toes have been lost through that
foollshness.
Never aim at anybody or anything
you don't intend to shoot.
Never shoot at hard, fiat or round
objects such as bottles, rocks, metal
signs, etc. When a bullet starts to
ricochet, nobody knows where it's
going!
