HAND GUNS HUNTERS FRIEND By L. J. Barrett present crisis has without any put the hand gun into of more .men than at any since the creation of the wea- K The use of the gun has be- K,ic more apparent of its useful- K s either as a protection or a gun Kxi as a target or strapped on the Hrhe Army, Navy and Coast Guard Ks put an extensive campaign on Be proficient use of the gun. They Kve realized that at critical mo- Bents the gun is easy to handle Bd at close range its effectiveness unquestionable. A well placed llL.t at close range most certainly Ehe the fight out of most wild game Knted in North America. One of Bit- most popular of these is the .357 Bugazine which carries with it an Hno pound muzzle energy. If w e pin believe that the old timer has Kit down some of our largest game Bfith rifles whose energy does not ■teeed this amount, it is reason able to believe that the .357 Mag- Bum can do its share in case of Bfaiergency. • The hand gun recently has ac counted for numerous deer at short Canges. Its purpose is to put down he game and at the same time aves much spoilage which so often ccurs when the game has been alien by a larger caliber rifle. |l have noticed that when a state ermits the use of the hand gun uring hunting season the hunter ften uses a small bore gun to fin si i the fallen game with a well ilaced shot which again saves meat poilage. Two years ago I saw a nan who was using a .270 Winches er put a ten point buck down after ising fourteen shells to do it used lis hand gun to finish the job irather than spoil any more meat. I We .must not forget the little .22 caliber which has without ques tion started more men out using the hand gun than any other gun. email n1 an r*n n hf> lisod t t CONGRATULATIONS THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS FOR A MUCH NEEDED ENTERPRISE BLUE RIDGE ASSEMBLY H. W. SANDERS, Manager \ ■ I • A V a, to a great advantage. It has been reported' that that they use only one shot to finish a trapped bear with a well placed shot. It isn’t all ways the heavy caliber that does the trick but its the well placed shot that counts. It would be un wise for the hunter to rely on this caliber for his protection from large game. We must not forget the big fa vorite of many shooters, the .38 spe cial. It has good qualities as a protector as well as a gun that can stop the charge of a wounded bear or moose. During my trip to north ern .Ontario and due to the present restrictions it was impossible for us to have n our possession a hand gun for hunting. Jt is my belief that the time is coming wherever the well dressed hunter and most certainly the wise liunte appears he will have on him this little item of self protection. It is wise to believe that one well placed shot even if it only comes once in a lifetime can reveal the story whether he lives to talk and hunt, another day.

Wild ducks make this their home summer and winter. The lake is stocked with various kinds of fish, and affords sport for the fsherman. The Grove Stone and Sand Co. under the management of J. G.. Northcott has progressed rapidly, in the past few years, manufacturing cement building materials. They have an up-to-date plant and employ several men and could use many more.“We cant make enough of our product to fill the demands’’ says Mr. Northcott. "We would be glad to employsev. eral more men, local help of course but they are hard to find. Men hired now by the Grove Stone and Sand Company are assured 1 of post war work, as there will be num erous building projects going on after the war, of which they will furnish a great deal’of the material.

THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS BE SURE TO MAIL OYER SEA PACKAGES IN PLENTY OF TIME Millions of Christmas gifts will go overseas again this year to our armed forces It will be especially difficult to deliver these gifts safe ly and on time, the army and Navy point out,unless family of service men and women co-operate in starting them off right.

Mail Christmas gifts over seas from September 15 to Octo ber 15. In the army this is the only time you can mail a parcel overseas without a written request from your soldier.
