With firearms and ammunition
at a premium now, the course

not uncommon for Wins to take
a youngster aside and give him a
few pointers.
Just Let Them Try
For his own part, "Just let
them try to drop troops or sabo-
teurs or any others of that bunch
around here" he says.
WINS has held a keen interest
in target shooting ever since his
boyhood days in nearby Rum

cows out of the Shrewsbury
River with well-aimed charges
of singing shot.
From cows, he went to law
books in the office of his brother,
Charles, who was prosecutor of
Monmouth County.

lates. 'I'd read awhile, and then

In his most recent victory,
WINS won the handicap crown in
the annual Westy Hogan cham

years ago. He has done much
shooting since but mostly in
club events.
Competition or no, he keeps
his gun in perfect working Or
