portant to be informed. He en-

agency, and that three meet
lngS are held yearly and four
seminars. Copies of the list of
educational legislation which
has been introduced in the cur
rent General Assembly were
given to each club woman pres
ent, so that they could follow
his explanation of eighteen
House bills, and twelve Senate
bills. He noted those approved

Air Rifle Discharges
Strikes Youth in Eve

The Sheriff's department
and police from over Geauga
County get frequent reports
Of shooting of firearms and
BIB guns.
One of the latest incidents
was reported by the sheriff.
Mike Karp, 32400 Euclid Ave. !,
Willoughby and Douglas Met
calfe 319 Downing Dr., Char
don, were camping behind
Chardon Springs hunting
frogs and birds with BIB guns.
The boys are around IA years
old.
Karp was hit in the eye
with a discharge from a BIB
gun. Deputies were called
and took Karp to a hospital.
The boys first tol.1 the offic-
ers that Karp had neen hit in
the eye by a stick, hut it was
later determined, according
to the report, the youths had
BIB guns.
Il believe parents ought to
realize, and 1 am sure they
would if they gave serious
thought, that air guns and .22s
are dangerous" said G.. Cor
don Ham, juvenile court pro-
baton officer. "UnSupervis-
ed shooting, even on ones
property, can and often does
result in tragedy. Hardly
week goes by that I don't
see some youngster alone
carrying a 20 rifle"
The officer further said:
This, of course is in direct
violation of the law. I can't
warn them all, and I don't
want to bring them into court,
so 1 am appealing to the pa
rents for help.
Il am particularly concern
ed with the indiscriminate
use of the 20 caliber rifle.
This is an instrument of
death. 1t has a high muzzle
velocity and terrific penetra-
ting force. Many farmers
have had stock injured or
killed by .22s, because of its
relatively long range and high
power.
eff we get cooperation of
the parents / am sure these
violations and all too fire.
