In another development, AL

The Governor received a
letter from the Board of AL

A Boy And
His First Gun

Sooner or later, the parents of
most boys are caught between two
fires; a boy, longing for gun of
his own, and the reports of hunt
ing accidents in the newspapers.
These parents can't help worrying
about the accidents, and whether
their sons are really old enough for
gun.
The proper age to own that first
gun is a tough thing to decide.
Some boys are ready at II; some
are never ready. Most. boys of IA,
however, are just about old enough
for their own .22's. But more inn
portant than age is the boys COM
mon sense and sense of response
bility. For instance:
L. Does he show good judgment?
Does he make sensible decisions
and use his head in most situa-
tions?
2. Is he responsible? Does he
show respect for other persons and
their property? Does he handle
money well, carry on his share of
work around the house? Can he be
depended upon?
3Is he obedient? Does he mind
his parents and follow their in
structions and advice? Does he re-
spect their wishes even though
they conflict with his companions
ideas?
A. Does he know what a gun is ?
Does his attitude toward firearms
point to a maturing, sensible view,
or is he still in the cowboy and
Indian stage?
s. Has he ever handled a gun,
either with his parents or with
other adults? If he has no shooting
experience, are you prepared to see
that he gets some from shooter
who knows his business?
A boy, shouldn't be given gun
and then, like Topsy, "just grow. !"
He may learn gun safety the tragic
way. He should be carefully school
ed by an adult, experienced hunter,
and, taught guns, gun handling and
respect for the safety and property
of others. A youngster should never

brushes, even to brushes at their
feet.
The big moment comes when
children from the audience are
taken for rides in the lavendar
bathtubs.
Janet Champion, 14-year-Old star
of the show, is featured in the num-
Der. Her acrobatic solo includes
back flips, back somersaults, cart
wheels, hand stands and other pat
ented tricks on skates. The finale
of the "Scrub-A-Dub-Dub" number
has a bubble effect.
Cute angle in the production is
the poodle bath. Ten black toy
poodles are put in huge washing
machine on the ice. After they
churn around awhile, very live
white poodles scoot from the mach
inc. 1t is a way of introducing the
Ice Follies kennel" of poodles
which-along with the skaters
tour with the show.
Among other spectacular produc-
tions in the Ice Follies' oath edition
are Ballet de Brilliance" which
opens the show; Romantic Re-
Elections" which is the setting for
the Swing Waltz; "Noches Tax
quenas", a Mexican fiesta; ALAS
ka, u. S. A" which salutes our
49th State; ..Somwhere in Space,
fantasy with flying saucers on the
ice and an ut-of-this-world effect
which is heightened by a foggy mist
creeping across the skating sur
face; international Fashions, fea-
turing Richard Dwyer and his
Glamour Girls; and Hungarian
Rhapsody.

cluded. Complete aluminium uten-
sill sets include everything from
measuring cups to cookie cutters.
There are little copper-bottom pots
too, just like mothers, and young
ster who is fortunate in having one
of the new nine-unit kitchen and
laundry ensembles will certainly
want her walls decorated with
handsome utensils.
The nine-unit kitchen layout is
just about the last word in a child's
gift this season. 1t includes a
double freezer, dish-washer, built
in oven and many things that mo-
ther doesn't have herself, no doubt.
Many mothers have found that
these toys have practical advant-
ages. A child who learns to use a
sponge and suds in cleaning up
play toys, a necessity in the case of
the kitchen equipment, will surely
learn to take better care of other
toys in the play room.

be handed gun and then turned
loose like wild colt.
Before a boy has his own gun,
it's good idea to take him hunting
a few times, making him more fam
iliar with guns and their use. If
the boy has never been hunting or
shooting and you still think he
should learn with his own gun, give
him his own gun. But take just
the one gun along. or have him
carry his gun unloaded until you're
ready for shooting. Until he really
knows guns and their proper use,
don5t let him go shooting alone or
with other boys.
Sometimes the boy who wants a
gun has non-shooter father. In
such a case, perhaps the boy can
be instructed by an older brother,
an uncle, or neighbor who knows
it we'll. If the father is a sports
man, the situation is ideal-a father
son hunting team is a fine part
nership, and both boy and man will
learn lot
Forbidding a boy the use of guns
only compounds the danger of
firearms. If the boy is gun-happy
he'll probably be out along the
river with some other boys shoot
ing and it's best that he knows
what it's all about.
Every boy should have some gun
training, and it's a rare boy who
doesn't want it. Sooner or later, as
bOy or man. he'll be handling a
loaded gun.
