IN THE HUNTING SEASON WISE GUYS X
MENACE. There's something about the
hunting season that brings out 'friskYl
sma ll-boy streak in norma lily sensible
men. Maybe it's the tonic sense Of
getting away 'FRONT.' all with congenial
buddies--the exciting magic of the
keen air. -
Anyhow, hunting is great sport, and
the thrill of it can spur a. man on to
indulge in fancy shooting, IV-style.
Specifically, take the case of three
service pals who went happily off to
bag some squirrels recently. One of
them spotted his prey and decided to
shoot from the hip. Old Bushy Tail
got away, but the two buddies weren't
SO luckY--one was killed, the other
wounded.
Every season, commanders caution
servicemen against violating the simple
rules Of hunting safety. But the close
of every season sees toll of ca sual-
ties attri butable to just plain care
lessne SIS. There's the man who carries
a loaded weapon in his car, and the
man who fails to check the afety lock,
and the man who fires at a flat, hard
surface, forgetting that bullets rico
Chef. The list is long and saddeniny;
the tragedies that result are prevent
able.
Such accidents are. bad enough when
they involve civilians. They are doub-
ly Teprohensible when the culpri IS, or
victims, are servi cernen. For the lat
ter have had formal training in the
handling of weapons; they know range
safety rules; they fire for practice
repea tedly. IF, wi tn this experience,
they still go in for show-off, wise

Evening star., 1960-10-08
BY BETTY PEPlS
Contributing Writer

Some 10 years ago, the
first tree of light made its ap-
pearance. It was selected as
a prize winning new idea for
homes by a committee of
three museum men who
praised, as a novel invention,
the concept of a floor-to-
ceiling pole from which bull
let-shaped shades sprouted
at spaced intervals.
This concept was the work
of an industrial designer who
designed it for his own home
to disperse light in the
center of a small room.
This particular example
was equipped with a small
round table, as well as with
four bullet lights. One illumi-
mated a chair for reading. a
second shone on book shelves
to make the selection of vol
umes easy, a third picked out
a painting. and the fourth
was aimed upwards at the
ceiling to furnish diffuSed
light for the whole room.
Because of its versatility,
it is little wonder that the
idea has been developed
elaborated, occasionally mis-
used and mistreated but, in
any event, given a perma-
nent place in today's homes.
Some of the amusingly in
appropriate variations of it
have included a gilded pole
with gas light bulbs drip
ping from it, and bamboo
swathed pole from which
were suspended Japanese
paper lanterns. Such appli-
cations are reminiscent of
the old telephones and cof-
fee pots wired for lamps.
However, in simple modern
dress. as in a black. brass
and glass cone construction
the design is still as appeal
ing as when it was first in
troduced.
Two flanking a chest can
make a room divider of that
simple piece of furniture.
When spaced along a book
case wall, the individual
lights may be aimed at any
area which the potential
reader might like to investi-
gate.
