a FRIEND recently said: Help
a me with this problem. My
boy thinks he should have a %
rifle for Christmas. l would never
forgive myself if I gave it to him
and something happened. Help
me convince him that he doesn't
need gun =
- He is good friend. could be
of no help to him, however, as I
did not agree with him. / re-
ceived my first gun, a .410, when
l was two years younger than
this friends son.
But" my friend argued, your
father was an outdoorsman. He
taught you how to handle the gun.
He took you hunting. 1 can't SUI
pervise my sons use of rifle.
I'm too busy to 60 hunting and,
besides, l have never handled
rifle or a shotgun in my life"
I could agree on this point:
that the boy should not get the
rifle unless he was taught how to
handle and use it correctly. But
l found something else to argue
about. My friend, while trying
to talk his son out of the rife,
was just as earnestly trying to
talk him into a used automobile.
All wrong, l say. The average
boy knows that the rifle is weap-
on. That it can kill. Very few
have the same idea about an
auto. They don't even think about
having an accident-until after
they have had one. And by the
time the father catches his son
driving too fast-it may be too
late.
This is not to say that teen
ayers shouldn't have cars and all
of them should get rifles if they
want them. Instead, it is to point
out that it is not the vehicle or
the weapon that is dangerous. 1t
is the individual behind the wheel
and behind the trigger.
would never give a boy a gun
without being certain that he was
instructed as to its proper use
and properly supervised until he
knew and abided by he rules
nor a car If he did not respect it.

When the meteorite was
