One incident was the bombing of a

dropping two heavy bombs from

in Percy's Cafe voted approval of
the U. S. Forest Services proposal
to prohibit shooting of firearms on
highways within the national forest
areas and other roads which the

The Chamber as whole rejected
the recommendation of the Execu-

strictions be applied to trails after
Assistant Regional Forester Well

believed such an action too drastic
as it was the purpose of the Forest
Service to build trails that would be
of value to hunters and fishermen
and closing them to shooting would
be eliminating their major purpose
