COLOR rather lack of color in the body of the stone

Deer Hunting Is Out But
Man OF 78 StiIITakes TO Skeet

SEATTLE (P)-'aThe doc won't
let me hunt deer any more. It's too
much hard work"
But Arthur Weaver. rs, manages
to keep his trigger finger in prac-
ice anyway,
The retired automobile tire mer-
chant, believed to be the nations
record in the oyer-7O class.
He's been on the tournament cir
cult for about a dozen years now,
but his shooting days go back to
the age of eight, when he first
raised an old civil war musket to
his shoulder.
That was in Onarga, H., where
he grew up. Weaver moved to
Seattle in 1920 after living a few
years in Spokane. Now a widower,
he has two sons, two daughters, 10
grandchildren and five great grand
children, all in the Seattle area.
He still goes bird and duck hunt
ing, in addition to attending the
national and other skeet shooting
tournaments each year Skeet
shooting is competition in which
shooters use guns of variety of
gauges, instead of just using a r.
gauge as in trap shooting.
Weaver won the veterans divi-
sion national championship in 1856,
lost it in 1857 and 1858, but won it
back at Virginia Beach, Va, last
August. That was the day he set a
record by knocking over 24S out of
$50 clay targets.
