Show Friday, Octobar 30, 1992 Tht SummiT County Boo 7B Using Signs For Target Practice Shows Lack of Regard For Nature Johnny had been out all afternoon plinking away with his new .22 rifle that he received for his birthday. Rom the moment he set his eyes on it yon could tell it would be his new prized possession at least until his first new car came along.
