Show Page HILL TOP TIMES fi October 17. 1975 like anything but a deer. I especially want to stress the need for caution in overexertion. Freqeuntly, deer season presents the first real use of some muscles you have sort of ignored for most of the year. One of those muscles is your heart. If you have not been active during the year, you should be very careful climbing around the hills. Exertion, and altitude are both factors. I hope those who go out will enjoy it. Just don't do anything dumb. We'd like to see you come back in one functional, full up, fit mind and body. This weekend will see a lot of hunters heading for the hills. The significance of "Deer Season" is iar reaching as it, among other features, provides a much needed break for a lot of our employees. Considering the price of beef, it also provides a good opporunity to put some meat in the freezer that won't give you a guilt complex when you eat it. I just want to add my encouragement to all the other admonishments you'll hear to "be careful." I'll spare you the gloomy statistics on the number of persons shot or injured each season. I get the feeling that, as we all get older, the statistics on heart attacks incurred are more discouraging than the stories of gunshot wounds. I hope that all of you who go out after deer will exercise great caution with your shooting. Stay out of the brush and try to look Be The Hunter, Not The Hunted For every sportsman, the 1975 hunting season promises the enjoyment of man's closeness to nature, the thrill of the hunt and the relaxation and comradeship shared at the end of a day's successful outing. However, all of the pleasure of hunting can become a catastrophe if the principles of weapons safety are not observed, both at home and in the field. Listed below are some tips which must be observed. NEVER presume that a weapon is empty. This is one of the oldest maxims that goes without saying. Keep weapons pointed in a safe direction at all times. Ensure proper functioning of all safety devices and keep the "SAFETY" on until ready to shoot. KNOW the operation of the weapon being used. If you load your own ammunition, adhere to the limits prescribed in the reloader's manuals. UNLOAD the weapon prior to entering vehicles, crossing, fences, jumping obstacles. Store weapons and ammunition separately. Keep weapons out of the reach of children. Never fire a rifle at water or hard, flat surfaces. Use good, sound common sense whenever dealing with weapons. "SOUND SHOOTING" is both dangerous and poor sportsmanship. Always identify your target. Save th? alcoholic beverages until the completion of the hunt and after the weapons are unloaded and put away.

Six years earlier, Oct. 20, 1944, General McArthur fulfilled his famous promise to return to the Phillipines. A few hours after the initial infantry landing on Leyte, the general waded ashore. Three days later, Oct. 23, the most famous naval battle in U.S. history began - the battle of Leyte Gulf. In three days of fighting, the badly outnumbered American Navy inflicted such enormous damage on the Japanese Navy that it ceased to be an effective force in the war. It was in this desperate situation that the Japanese launched their first deliberate suicide attack. On Oct. 22. 1962.
