AUSTIN- - Attention, young-
sters who got new bikes or
guns for Christmas. This
story is for you.
They’re beauties, aren’t
they - - the bike, the gun?
But do you understand the
new responsibility they im-
pose? They imply that you’re
well on the way to growing up.
When your parents gave
you the bike, it was an ex-
pression of their respect for
your understanding of traffic
rules and signals.
They’re betting your
judgment is mature enough
that you will ride only on the
right side of the street with
the flow of traffic, and that
you will always walk your
bike through heavy traffic.
Your parents - - by their
gift to you - - demonstrated
their belief that you have
enough discretion to light
up the bike when night-riding
not to ride double, and never

hitch a ride behind a car.
They’re counting on you
to give proper hand signals
and to ride single file when
out with your bike-owning
buddies.
If you got a gun for Christ-
mas, your parents are- - in
effect saying the same thing:
that they trust your judgment
and common sense.
They know a gun is the
weapon of a man, or a bright
lad well along toward man
hood.
If your parents are right,
you will treat every gun ax
though it were loaded. You'll
unload yours when it isn’t
in use, and you’ll be con-
stantly alert to muzzle dir-
ection when handling it.
A man who knows guns is
always sure of his target
before he shoots, and he
never points at anything he
doesn’t intend to kill. Such
a man has better judgment
than to climb a tree, or a
fence with a loaded weapon.
A skilled gun handler
like you want to become
never shoots without check-
ing the barrel for obstructions,
and never shoots at flat
hard surfaces or at water
because of the possibility
of ricochet. He stores his
ammunition and his gun
separately to avoid accidents.
It takes intelligence and
good judgment to follow the
rules of bicycle and gun
safety, to live up to the
responsibilities ownership
imposes.
Your parents are, con-
vinced vou have the neces-
sary qualifications.
Have you?
