August. Hotter than I care to
think about, let alone experience.
What in the world to do?
Plenty. As it's been said, a hunter
at this time of year tries to hurry
the summer. It's the time of year
when we check our gear, repair or
replace what's worn, and preview
new gear offerings. Outdoor sup
pliers know this. This month I've
received no fewer than eight cats
logs with fall merchandise to look
over.
There's so much to do during
August, but much of it has to do
with how involved you are with the
sport. The upcoming months will
bring dove, fall bear and elk hunting
to my schedule. Just those three
hunts will require a lot of prepara
tion this month.
in August I sort out the combination
I want to shoot in each gun. For my
shotgun I load a case of ammo to get
my wife and I through the dove
season. For my pistol (bear hunt)
the selection of bullets and powder
charge is relatively simple. For the
rifles, however, it’s different. The
.300 Mag needs one load for elk, the
.267 needs one for long distance
bear. Working up the loads which
group best also sharpens my shoot
ing skills.
September dove season also re
quires a lot from my dogs too. In
August I try to get them used to the
added excitement of shooting, re-
mind them of their manners and
trim up their condition. This in-
cludes regular workouts both swim-

not to allow them to get too hot.
It's still too hot to hunt the
hounds, but they get what exercise
they can here around the place.
They're packing a few extra pounds
that'll cost performance at 8000 feet
hunting bear. If 1 only hunted
raccoon here training hounds could
probably wait another month or so.
Speaking of packing extra
pounds, I've started dieting and
extra exercise trying to trim down.
I reload my own ammunition and have enough trouble finding
oxygen at 8000 feet myself, and
don't need the extra pounds to help.
Most of Canada and Alaska began
hunting August 1, and the rest of
North America starts September 1.
After that, it’s non top for 6 more
months or more. Do now what you
won't find time for later.
MYTH8 ABOUT
SEAT BELTS
It is Indeed strange thinking
about seat belts that permits so
much death and suffering in the
name of personal convenience and
unwrinkled clothing, aays a safety
official. Most of the “strange think-
ing" is based on a number of
common myths about seat belts,
aays Dr. Gary Nelson, safety
engineer with the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service, The Texas
A&M University System.
Myth: Seat belts are un-
necessary for short trips.
Fact: More than 70 percent of
Joe Grant Hosts
Family Picnic
For Esther Class
Esther Sunday School Class of
First Baptist Church met August
IS, in the home of Joe Grant for a
family picnic.
The only business was to appoint
Esther Terry as assistant secretary
for the coming year.
Those attending were Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Hext, Mr. and Mrs.
Versal Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kilborn, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Phil
lips, Mrs. Esther Terry, Mrs. Kath-
erine Sikes, Mrs. Angell Hamm,
Mrs. Addie C. Rhoads, Mrs. Eunice
McClellan, Nora Robinson, and Joe
Grant.
injury-causing traffic accidents oc-
cur within 26 miles of home,
according to the National Safety
Council. More than 80 percent of all
collisions hsppen at speeds under
40 mph. People who were not
wearing seat belts have been killed
in accidents that occurred at speeds
as low as 12 mph-about the speed
you would be driving in a parking
lot.
Myth: Seat belts trap people
inside cars, and I'd rather be thrown
clear.
Fact: “Thrown dear" is a mis-
nomer. Being thrown from a vehicle
usually means flying through the
windshield or catapulting out a
door. The force of a collision can
fling you as much as 160 feet onto a
roadside object, into the path of
oncoming traffic or scraping along
the pavement. For these reasons, if
you are thrown from a vehicle in an
accident, your chances of being
killed are 26 percent greater.
What's more, instead of being
Page 5-A
trapped, belted occupants are likely
to be conscious and unhurt, and
therefore better able to escape in
the rate situation where fire or
submersions are added dangers.
Myth: Seat belts cause injuries.
Fact: Study after study in the
United States and abroad show a
substantial decrease in the number
of serious injuries in actual auto
accidents among those who are
belted versus those who aren’t. In
the rate instances where injuries
due to belts have been reported,
either the belt was inappropri-
ately worn or the crash was so
severe that the occupants would
have been killed or seriously injured
if they had been unbelted.
Myth: I don't need belts since I’m
a careful driver.
Fact: No matter how good a
driver you are, you can't control the
other car. There's no way to protect
yourself against someone elae'a bad
driving, poor judgement or mechan
ical failure. Even good drivers can
be killed or injured in a crash.
Myth: I don't need seat belts: I
can brace myself.
Fact: The force of an impact at
just 10 mph is equivalent to catching
a 200 pound bag of cement thrown
from a first-story window, according
to the National Safety Council. At
86 mph, the force of an impact is
even more brutal. There's no way
your arms and legs can brace you
against that kind of force-even if
you could react in time.

sell in a week?” •
Bartender: "Oh, about 12 barrels.”
Customer: "I know how you can
double that.”
Bartender: "Wow, how can I do
that?”
Customer: "Easy, just fill up the
glasses.”
