A YOUNG Olivehurst man's truck is a total wreck. It left business 20/49 and ran into this tree. The driver and his passenger were injured but not hospitalized. NGH auxiliary gives 600 hours a month of service There are 100 women in the Nevada City Grass Valley area who comprise perhaps the most selfless and devoted organization to be found anywhere in Northern California today. That they, invidually and collectively, have sometimes received less than full recognition in many areas for their good works has not been voiced by any one of the group. . . .it has been brought to the writer's attention by outside sources. Hence this article to, hopefully, gives a bit more credit where credit is certainly due. The Nevada General Hospital Auxiliary is a corporate, strictly non-profit body; organized as a non-social, hard-working unit to provide care and creature comforts and to promote the general welfare of patients in the hospital. To this end, more than 600 hours per month aregiven to the many services which these women perform.

That is the size of the army of hunters, more than 700,000, that are licensed each year by the State of California. Of course, they are not all on the prowl at the same time. Some hunt big game such as deer while others seek pheasants, quail, ducks and geese. The seasons for each fall at different times and even the season for specific game may vary from one area of the state to another. — Still, the overall total is awesome and not without dangers. Many a hunter has been shot by another hunter or by himself, Then, too, there are those with itchy trigger fingers who shoot at anything that moves. Morethanone farmer's cow, horse or other domesticated animal has fallen victim to such carelessness, Or to the hunter frustrated by failure to find wild game. Pecognizing the problems created by the licensing of so many people to hunt, legislation was sponsored by the National Rifle Association and the California Wildlife Federation to improve hunter safety some 20 years ago. Endorsed by the State Fish and Game Commission, the initial laws required those under 16 years of age seeking license to undergo safety training and demonstrate proficiency through examination. With scores of volunteer instructors participating, the program gained momentum and the requirement was extended to include everyone seeking their first hunting license. Now in its 17th year of operation, more than 600,000 potential hunters have received training from over 3000 volunteer instructors. The activities of the instructors, all of whom have themselves passed qualifying examinations to teach, are coordinated by regional officials of the Fish and Game Department. The courses of instruction call for a minimum of four hours of training but many instructors augment this, some even giving simulated hunting situations on the open range. The basic program includes firearms instruction, sportsmanship, conservation and safety. Some offer archery instruction and safety too. : Some schools conduct these programs at the sixth grade level. Not all of the children are potential hunters but the handling of firearms safely is considered important and valuable training for all youngsters. As in all fish and game programs in California the costs are financed by the hunters through license fees. Additionally, the training program budget is augmented by a one time only charge of $1 for those getting their first license. Subsequent licenses are issued upon proof that one has previously been licensed in California, The proof is either display of the ‘old license or the signing of a statement under oath that the applicant has been licensed in other years. Since hunting licenses are sold by agencies of the state rather than by the state, unually sporting goods and hardware stores, the system is not infallible, But the fact that in the past year more than 55,000 new hunters were trained indicates the number who might fudge is minimal. It is not possible to measure accurately the success of the program. But the records show that the accident ratio has dropped from 3,1 per 10,000 in 1955 to 0.93 in 1971. In the absence of evidence of other factors a fair conclusion is that the program is working well, At least so far as safety is concerned.
