for a score of 34-0.
Rebel Head Coach Terry Giddens
commented on the game, "We got
whipped. We had a run of bad luck
and we wanted to stick with our game
Guns aren't toys. Hunting is a sport
that requires dedication, attention
and rigorous attention to the rules of
hunting safety.
Apparently there are some would-
be hunters around who aren’t paying
much attention to the safety rules.
Within the past few weeks there
have been reports of a .22 shell going
through a pickup side window,
charges being filed against two
youngsters for improper shooting in
a small community, a hole shot in the
Lamar County Water Supply water
tank, and a house spattered with bird
shot!
Sunday afternoon, the silence at our
house was shattered when a loud
boom was followed by shot rattling
down on the roof and windows.
Thomas was outside and a piece rain-
ed down on his arm! -ns
The source of the bird shot was a
shotgun in the hands of a teenage boy.
On September 9, District Judge
Leon Pesek of Texarkana sentenced
Larry English of Bogata to 15 years

Bogata girl.

to five years in prison

and drove off!
Such incidents aren't amusing.
They are dangerous, and sooner or
later will result in serious injury or a
death.
It just isn't necessary.
Hunting without knowing what lies
behind where one is shooting, hunting
on land without permission, not obser-
ving the rules, often created for the
safety of the HUNTER, aU result in
the possibility of a terrible tragedy.
Parents should take a lot of time to
teach their youngsters the proper
respect for a gun. Serious considera-
tion should be given to whether a child
is ready to hunt on their own or not.
Adults should ALWAYS observe the
same respect that they teach their
children.
Please folks, let’s aU have a SAFE
hunting season!

Does the advent of the autumn
season just automatically prompt
people to begin remembering? Does
nostalgia settle over the land like
cooler weather, sifting memories
• down like leaves from the trees?
It sometimes seems so.
Recently I have found myself look-
ing backwards, at school beginnings,
other autumns.
I put it down to getting older. But
apparently I’m not alone in opening
scrapbooks to the past.
Visiting last Thursday, I found peo-
ple with boxes of old photographs
hauled out. Not for any particular
reason, just looking backwards at
• family reunions... at group shots and
school pict ures.
Several other newspaper colum-
nists have been peering back into the
past, recalling the Civil War, bygone
cotton days, in general it just seems
that the time has come to look back
and remember.
Remembering can be a bitter-sweet
thing The memories that come filter-
ing through like shafts of late-
a afternoon sunlight aren't always
beautiful. Those who are gone, those
whose paths no longer cross ours, the
losses and painful incidents of the
past come back just as surely as the
good times.
But the good times shine a little
brighter, bringing a smile to the face
and lightness to the heart.
How life changes over the
years...and how unchanged some
things are is always a mildly distur-
a bing fact.
” How young we all looked in old
photos, how styles have changed,
and times. The smiles have a little
sorrow in them at the progress of
time. The laughter is an echo of that
long-ago mirth.
But consider that today will be the
same. In a few years, the events of
this year ..this time., will be faded
away, or captured in a newspaper
clipping or photo
) This year’s school pictures will be
a treasure to parents, and a source,
most likely, of embarrassment to the
youngsters, all grown up and self-
conscious!
But that's what life’s all
about, change and progress, time fly-
ing by.
And perhaps that’s one thing fall is
for too.....to look behind us for a little
while, before turning to look ahead
once more Enjoy.
