He Fought For
Citizens Right
To Bear Arms

When Charles Baynard Lister,
Executive Director of the National
Rifle Association and Editor of
the American Rifleman magazine,
died in Washington recently.
American outdoor sportsmen lost
a great leader. From the time
Lister joined the MIRA in 1921, he
led the fight to protect the rights
of all American citizens to bear
arms to protect their homes and
to enjoy the thrill of lunting in
the field.
1t was Lister WHO, with the
coming of national prohibition and
its aftermath of gun warfare, saw
the harm that would be brought
to America citizens with the sud-
den rash of gun prohibitory laws.
He knew that history had proven
that unduly restrictive firearms
legislation of the type invented in
Europe for the protection of mon
archs and dictators disarms the
laW-abiding citizen and prevent
his proper training with small
arms. To combat the unwise leg
islation that would stop the
American citizen from hunting in
the field or protecting his home,
Lister accumulated a file of exist

Barb and RiIla

This Is very special time of
year for seniors. They were out
of school on Wednesday last week,
but they were back fmuch to our
surprised several times. Thurs
day they all tucked their bathing
suits under their arms and made
a bee line for Indian Lake. They
came down to the corner of First
and Walnut before they left, so
we'd know how much fun they
were having. Friday, caps and
gowns arrived and, so did our
graduates. Such a furry of boxes
and tissue paper you never saw!
When they left to practice their
graduation exercises, you could
see the wistfullness around the
edges. We were kind of subdued
too. Well miss you guys and gals.
The London Raiders have been
winding up the season to suit
us. Wednesday they downed
Washington G. H 8-4. Then after
losing TO Worthington AZ, they
made sure of a share in the league
trophy with the Cardinals by de-
feating Westerville IL. We've
really been proud of every phase
Of our sports this year,
Our band is so good they don't
have to practice any more. All
they do is watch movies. Last
weeks was of Ohio States March

Rose Bowl trip and a home COM
ing game. Now that our musicians
have seen the technique, we ex-
pect them to look just like States
band next fall. How about it,
kids?
And here is our last column for
this year, we want TO express our
thanks to Mr.. Conway for this
space in the papers. 1t has been
a wonderful way to let everyone
that is interested know what is
going on in Lbs, and we hope
you've enjoyed it as much as we
have. So until we see you again

of us have the incest summer

General Says
He May Call
New Election

LA PAZ, BOLIVIA, tAP) Gen.
Hugo Ballivian, head of the mill
tary junta which took control of
tin-rich Bolivia in a bloodless coup
has said he may call new presi-
dental elections next month.
This appeared to be new step
in blocking from the presidency
exiled Victor Paz Estenssoro, lead
er of the national revolutionary
tMNR), who ran far ahead in the
May 6 presidential election but
failed to secure the necessary ma
jority.
Ballavian Promised, Meanwhile,
that Bolivia would continue TO
maintain friendly relations with
her western hemisphere neighbors
and would adhere to the treaties
and conventions to which the ma
ton is pledged" "
Government of this turbulent
little nation was handed over to
the junta of three general and
seven colonels by President Ma
merto Urriolagoitia. The president
resigned and took a plane to
Africa, Chile.

Lister also did great work in
educating the youngsters in
craftsmanship. He was respon-
sible for the Uniform Hunter Ac-
cident Reports now being used
in all states in the Union. But
he always felt that his Job of re-
search and marshalling of facts
for the various legislative bodies
of the nation when they were
considering gun legislation, was
his principal contribution to the
continuation of democratic pro-
cesses in America and the defeat
of a movement which was, unin-
tentionally, move straight down
the pathway of the policed state.
The monument that G. B. List
er leaves behind is the National
Rifle Association which he helped
to build and the right Of all
Americans to use and enjoy their
guns in the sporting fields and
on target ranges of America.

ing firearms laws for the forty
eight states and many from
abroad To this he added current
data on the frequency and nature
of crimes and the availableness
of weapons employed. He estab-
lished contacts to report promptly
all new legislative proposals in
eech of the states and Congress.
Through special bulletins to
NRA members, editorials and
articles in the American Rifleman,
the task of educating Americans
to the facts was pushed forward.
He made every effort to coop
crate with the police and legislat-
ors in working out sensible gun
control measures which would
discourage the criminal use of
weapons without unduly discour-
aging the proper training of hon
est men who might be called up
on to serve in the Armed Forces
or as auxiliary police and home
guardsmen in time of war. 1t was
a consuming job Of time, effort
and education but it paid off
when the National Congress took
the advice of tn NRA IN writing
the National Firearms Act and
the Federal Firearms Act.
In one year during the 30's, one
hundred and sixty-nine imprac-
tical or vicious bills were thrown
into the legislative hoppers of
thirty-nine states, and Congress.
All were rejected by the legisla-
tors through prompt and adequate
presentation of the facts. BY the
time the Japs hit Pearl Harbor, a
citizen who knew how to shoot
became one of our most highly
valued national assets.

arc very small"
That is direct quote, word for word, from
spokesman for the British government.
In different phraseology and in greater
detail, the possibilities have also been summed
up this way. "If the Soviet menace, which IS
now on the Elbe, were to advance to the
Channel or even to the Rhine, the danger to
this island would be very great. 1t might not
