As Thanksgiving approaches
turkey shoot" signs go up or
the Maryland and Virginia road
sides in the Washington area
Thousands of motorists have
noticed them but only a few
stop by to join in the fun Of
trying to win a turkey by bang
ing away at targets.
Although it has crept up to the
District limits, the turkey shoot
appeals primarily to the country
man.
Most of the shoots are spon-
sored by volunteer fire COM
panies. Some are held by fish
and game clubs and a few are
for private profit.
Any one can play. You don't
have to bring your own shotgun
If you do, it had better be a 12-
gauge. Many of the shoots limit
participation to marksmen with
guns of that size.
First, it should be understood
that you don't shoot at turkeys
but targets. Secondly, no marks
nlanship is required. All you
have to, do is to hit a target
With a pattern OF shot. That's
d cinch. Any one can do it-even
neophytes who have never pulled
a shotgun trigger.
Firemen Hold Shoot.
One of the largest of the tur-
key shoots in the area is that
held every Sunday in November
and December by the Rescue
Squad of the Oxon Hill Volun-
teer Fire Department in nearby
Maryland.
Their range is on the Indian
Head highway {Route 210 or
South Capitol street extended)
just beyond the District line near
the Oxon Hill High School.
They have 20 firing positions
and 20 targets set up in a large
field. The range is 40 yards.
The charge is ST a shot and a
live turkey from IL to % pounds
is given away after 20 shots. If
there are enough customers, 20
Evening star., 1954-11-21
You Don't Even Have to Hit
"A Barn Door to Win a GobbIer

men can shoot for a turkey
simultaneously at the Oxon Hill
range.
The targets are white paper
board squares about six inches
across with two diagonal black
lines crossing in the center.
The turkey goes to the lucky
man whose pattern of shot on
the target has a perforation near
est the point where the lines
cross.
The targets with perforations
close to the center are measured
with calipers. Ties which call
for a shoot-off are very rare.
While some of the turkey
shoots offer winners their choice
of live or frozen c'ready-for-th
oven") turkeys, the prizes at the
Oxon Hill shoot are all very
much-alive big bronze birds.
Some Are Lucky.
A turkey shoot may mean quite
a bargain in a Thanksgiving bird.
or a very expensive disappoint-
ment. Some motorists who have
stopped by have won "a turkey on
the first shot Others who have
come det ternlined to get q bird
have spent more than $40 firing
away without getting anything to
bring home to the wife.
As far ais the fire department
is concerned, the economy Of a
turkey shoot is very simple. The
shotgun shells cost about 10 cents
each; the turkeys about $12.
After every 20 shots at 81 each,
a turkey is given away. Thus
the shells cost 81 and despite in
cidental expenses, signs. targets,
ETC., the fire company makes
more than SIS on every bird.
This years turkey shoot at
Oxon' Hill is being conducted to
raise money to buy a station
wagon to tow the squads alumni
mum boat which is on a two
wheel trailer. That is about the
only thing the fire department
hasn't got. Oxon Hill is on the
Potomac and there are OCCASION
al calls for rescue by boat.

Mann 10 Reintroduce
Virginia Amendment
On School Financing

Delegate Harrison Mann Of
Arlington yesterday announced
he will re-introduce in the next
General Assembly a proposed
constitutional amendment on
school financing defeated at the
polls on November 2. Unofficial
returns showed a 1,000-vote
margin for anti-amendment
forces.
The amendment would have
permitted counties to borrow
funds from the State retirement
fun without approval of the
people in a referendum.
Didn't Understand.
Mr.. Mann said. "I cannot help
feeling that a very large per-
centage of those voting against
the measure did not fully under
stand the purpose of the amend
ment i. :"
State education officials were
deeply disappointed at the ap !
parent defeat OF the amendment.
the Associated Press reported,
The change had been. approved
practically without opposition by
two sessions of the General AS
sembly.
Counties for many years have
had the right to borrow from the
State literary fund for school
construction, but this fund has
been inadequate for heavy post
war demands. The literary fund
normally receives about $4.5 mil
lion a year in repayments of
loans and new money from fines
and forfeitures collected under
State law.

Passage of the amendment
would have meant that appli-

funds for new schools will have
to come from bond issues, local
taxes, or-after a long wait-the
literary fund.
Arlington and Fairfax County
school boards had favored the
amendment as a means of meet
ing short-term needs without
waiting for a referendum, al
though they said bond issues still
would be needed for major con-
