NO CHRISTMAS
LEAVE FOR
SEWARD TRAINEES

None of the local boys in the
training detachment at Fort
Richardson will have Christmas
leave
Bill Green, the first inductee,
has returned to duty from his
leave.
The five boys indicted in
November finish their basic
training on December 30th, and
are expecting ten-day leave
at that time.
These boys and their families
are concerned over travel con-
ditions at that time. If there is
no flying weather they will be
held up until the Friday train,
January 5th, losing six days of
their precious leave In event
of bad flying weather, plans are
being made to meet the boys
at Girdwood or Portage on the
first day they can get leave.
Parents without cars can con-
tact the newspaper to arrange
for transportation. Highway Pa
trolmen report the Portage high
way in good condition, but will
make another report before
New Years.
Dick Kirkpatrick and Jimmy
Webb will leave the day after
Christmas for their pre-induction
physicals, and may be able to
contact the others who are
finishing their training.

Many citizens have found
themselves in serious trouble
with the law. merely because
of lack Of knowledge OF its
requirements where pistols are
concerned. While il Is true that
the Constitution guarantees TO
each citizen the right TO bear
arms. il is equally true that the
State has the right 10 regulate
the use of firearms.
So we may all have deer rifles
or shotguns in our homes with
out any kind of regulation by
the State. But if we fire such a
gun within the confines of a
crowded city, we may find our
selves charged with a criminal
offense-the careless use Of fire
arms. [
We may use those guns for
hunting in season, with only
minor regulation. A hunting Ii
cense is required, but this is
merely for the privilege of hunt
ing and has no relation to the
use of the gun.
But in the case of revolvers
and pistols. strict regulation is
imposed. This is necessary for
the protection of all of us. For
this type of weapon is used
in assaults. robberies and MUIR
ders TO a greater degree than
any other type of wapon.
So, although the constitution
gives each of us the right TO
bear arms, the law of Michigan
requires that all pistols owned
or possessed be presented for
safety inspection and registra-
ton; in organized cities, to the
police department; out-county. to
the Sheriff's office.
Each owned of a pistol so reg
istered is given certificate OF
