EDITORIALS A PROUD FATHER Appearing on this page under the headings of “Left Over From Last Week,” and "Our Town” are two articles which more closely resemble columns. They are referred to as columns In that the writer is given free reign to write on his subject and as such oftentimes ends variety and diversification to a newspaper. It is not unusual to find a publisher exerting his personal beliefs and opinions upon his readers to an extent which in our opinion makes for a one-sided and dull newspaper. For our money, we like a system of balance—a middle of the road attitude —you wish. Occasions do arise when we slip in our objective and allow ourselves to be wafted away on a tangent. Realising this, we focus our Cyclopean eye on other sources of balancing wheels. For the most part, we have always neen fortunate in uncovering youthful and promising writers, and the same applies to those who display their abilities along the mechanical side of a newspaper. We like to help them and they help us. Their ideas, and methods aid us in keeping our own thoughts in line. ~ *w. Thus, our two columns appearing today are written by "newcomers" in journalism. Our friend Bill Spurgeon has penned the "Our Town,” while the other writer prefers to remain anoninious for the present. Actually, it is a first attempt at writing, and in this sense we can understand the shynes and timidity However, we think you will agree with us that “Left Over From Last Week" is new. different, refreshing. and embodies some possibilities We hope you will like these t •amplings. and we have our fln-| gers crossed in hopes of getting these two writers to “give it an-' other spin” in the near future. Now,' we’ve let you in on the | secret of how a column Is'born. Left Over From Last Week...

Our Town (By Bill Spurgeon) in October — This Is the first time we have ever written any-] thing for public consumption tai the month of October. So. instead of finding some particular person and place to pick op, we will try to talk about the month j itself. The atmosphere — Somehow, around the lake, the atmosphere i seems to be much clearer and ex- ■ tremely lonesome during this particular month — perhaps it is the absepce of so many of the lake residents that make it seem 1 more lonely —■ at any rate, it certainly is so — SHU. on a typical day, we see a good number of fishermen out — sometimes scat- ! tered all over the lake, and other time® all clustered together —- conversations that take place over the water can be heard clearly from a great distance! warning! . don’t gossip about your neigh- ; bors when, out in the boat), and ; occasionally, a dog can be heard barking from the other side i But speedboats and sailboats are I practically non-existant. and we i think this too adds noticably to [The general jveacefulness — the only thing we don’t like about the month i< the impending wea- . ther. hut even this is not so hart! !to b. ar when w. realize th;C i’ j only Les - - a w months Thing* seen The grapeyardlike lonliness seemingly sure I , .--.x.. in* and o’her sutni" !>app--aranco of piers from’ ’he lake the lack of tragic <«n the morj eled roads — the scores of driveways to houses without cars or j other evident sign of life — school busses making their daily I rounds —- and the leaves, which seem to be falling earlier this year, possibly...because of the extreme lack of moisture these past *• -a month* On the brighter side ,— we have new construction on all ! sides- of us — the new water tower in the south part of town- —

the new post office uptown the boomtown of Wawasee Village, south of Syracuse, in which there is always building of some type going on — the signboards of hope and progress, which inevitably begin with the words. “On this site will be constructed . . . ” but which often, apparently, onlyhint at the truth, because people wifi always procrastinate, or change their minds. And things we hear about—- — hear about a wider road to Goshen. State Road 313, between U. S. 5 and 33 — and hope it will, become a reality before next summer — and we hear about the new grade school — which we understand will be under construction before the year is out, it hopes of local officials are justified — and we wonder, at the vame tfme. to what use the old schoolhouse will be put when the new one is (finished — and we hear about more lake residents making this community 'heir rear round home, and believe that this is a very favorable ah-1 pleasant trend. So — that is about all a somewhat sentimental columnist has to say for this week — and hopes that next time, he can talk about ; some people, who are much more > interesting than the things and events that they are always creating. a. ‘ i Gun-lore (By MATTIE JONES.) WATCH TH \T MUZZLE YOUNG M\N! Shooting accidents, no exception. are the result of violating: safe gun handling rules. If a boy is allowed to oxyn or; handle a gun, it is the responsi-; bility of the boy and his parents to acquaint tJtemselves with the i proper handling of the weapon at /\ :: • ■ \The proper introduction to! shooting sports for boys should ' be an instruction program insti , tuted by the parent or by other qualified adults or organizations. A gun can be very dangerous when not handled properly. This applies to both teen-agers and adults. I To begin such instruction a primary study of fire arms and ammunition would prove very interesting to the student and would also be essential to safety? During the course of instruction the student should memorize and study the ‘ten commandments' of gun safety. .One of the most important factors which should be brought to te•-at tenion of the boy or odult who is interested In this popular sport, is respect for the laws which not only protect the hunter but also governs the conservation * of wild life. ith ‘ vh ohiw taoin eatoinnn it —a box’s natural desire to own a gun. the correct instruction in the sport of hunting and slioo'inc d-.-rve* far more afetfio- than i’ gets.

The correct age when a boy should be permitted to handle a gun is a matter that deserves careful consideration by the parents. Just turning him loose with the words ‘be careful’ is a grave risk and a danger to his companions and others. To deny him the opportunity to p»articipate in a clean and wholesome sport is just as wrong. The book ‘What Every Parent Should Know When A Boy Or Girl Wants A Gun’ is free for the asking at the Wawasee Sports-
