And with the gift of a firearm comes the responsibility of making sure they 4 know how to take care of the gun and use it safely and properly. According to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, there are several things a parent can and should do to make sure the gift will be a safe one. "The first thing a parent should do is make a wise selection. There are many different types of action; but for the first gun, the best is probably a simple, single - shot break action,' a Commission spokesman said. "This," he said, "will serve several useful purposes. First it makes the youngsters' job of learning how to handle the firearm easier. Automatic, slide or lever action firearms make it easier for the youngster to have a loaded gun off safe. "This is particularly noticeable when the youngster is retrieving game. With a single shot, he or she can run after the downed game without having to stop and think about whether the gun is loaded, especially if dad is along and passing out the shells on a need basis. "In addition, a single shot will soon teach the youngster to be selective in his shots and he or she will become a better shot. This cuts down on the crippling of game." he added. Single - shot rifles or jshotguns are also cheaper than other models and that is good for dad's pocket book. However, the gun should not be the only cost. "Besides purchasing the gun, there are two other items that should be purchased. One is a cleaning kit and the other is a gun case." The child should be shown how to properly clean the firearm and should be instructed to clean the gun after each use. This ensures the gun will be kept in good, safe working condition and the gun will last longer. "A gun case is very important. It protects the firearm; and if the youngster gets in the habit of unloading the gun and putting it in the case after returning to the car or home, one of the first rules of hunter safety will be met; unload the gun when it is not being used," the spokesman said. A hunter safety course is not a legal requirement but, he added, should be the first order of busi ness. The Wildlife Commission sponsors hunter safety courses Deaths Predicted On N. C, Highways Approximately 38 may die in traffic accidents in North Carolina over the long Christmas and New Year's holiday weekends, the N.C. State Motor Club has estimated. Last year 44 persons were killed on Tar Heel highways during the two holidays; 29 persons died during the Christmas holiday and 15 during New Year's. The main causes for these fatalities were unsafe movement, speeding, and following too closely. Farm Machinery Auction Sale & Raeford, N. C.

"Our holidays would be far less tragic if drivers would obey the 55 - mph speed limit and practice safe driving" said Peter Vasko, director of Public Relations of the statewide motor club. "We must slow down, be more alert, and refrain from drinking while driving." Vasko warned that traffic would be unusually heavy, as always, during both holidays. "In addi tion," he said, "the threat of inclement winter weather adds to traffic problems." Vasko advised drivers to check road conditions with the highway patrol in case of snow or rain, especially in the mountains. Through Nov. the North Caro lina death toll stands at 1,311 fatalities, some 52 less than a year ago. This gives us encouragement that drivers are becoming more alert and safety minded.

The spokesman also cautioned against giving heirlooms to your child. He explained that many guns owned by a grandfather or great - grandfather and passed down to succeeding generations might have worn or broken parts. Some of the older firearms also might not be capable of withstanding chamber pressures generated by the new shells and powders. He recommends taking the gun to a qualified gunsmith prior to passing it on to someone else. If you are planning to give your child a firearm for Christmas, remember it is not a toy. Protect your child and your family by making sure they understand the gun and firearm safety. Promotion Announced Ronnie Hill, who was employed by Macks stores.
