PRIVATE ENTERPRISE WORKS A heartwarming story of how our American private enterprise system offers opportunities and rewards to those who are willing to put it to work comes out of Southern California. A year ago five Dutch farm families migrated from the Netherlands to Carpinteria to raise flowers. With limited funds, no friend or relative, and with only one of the group able to speak a little English, they did ‘their own weather and resource surveys, made a down ps nena on 26 acres, brought a dismantled old greenouse over from the old country, cut their first flowers last November, and have since grossed more than $250,000. Said one of the group’s leaders, Hank Van Wingerden, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, “We . do good because going together we are strong. And we work hard, sunup, sundown, all us, men, women, kids, too.” Asked why they left a spot where their families had raised flowers for generations, Van Wingerden explained: “Too much socialism. Too many bureaucrats spoiling Holland. Sure, taxes in America. But not like Holland. Government insurance on everything to make socialism work. Have to pay, pay, pay.” ; We don’t like to disillusion these admirable people, but there are those in America who are working hard to turn America into another Holland. Pay, pay, pay.

Nineteen years ago, the state of New York passed a law requiring previously . unlicensed hunters under. the age of 16 to take a course in safe gun handl_ ing before getting a hunting license. But, no instructors or standardized course in safety existed at that time. At the request of the state, the National Rifle Association, using information from its newly-established Uniform Hunter Casualty Report as a means of analyzing the causes of hunting accidents, created a basic course in safe hunting practices, The NRA prepared an instructor's guide, developed a method of certifying instructors in the course and was designated to administer the program to young hunters in the state of New York, Today, 40 states and 7 Canadian Provinces administer Hunter Safety Training Programs, Onefourth of some 15 million licensed hunters in this country are graduates of the NRA Hunter Safety course. The results have been dramatic, with official figures showihg a drop of 15 per cent in U.S. hunting fatalities during the period from 1950 to 1965. The purpose of. the program has been described as not to turn out sharpshooters but rather ". . . to instill in the beginner a fundamental knowledge: of guns and ammunition, proper gun handling under field conditions, 2 grasp of the huntér's responsibilities to’ landowners and other hunters, and an attitude that makes him put his knowledge into practice." Some 52,000 dedicated individuals throughout the 50 states, as instructors in Hunter Safety, are devoting their time and energy to getting this message across, In the interests of preserving and bettering the enjoyment and experience of hunting for present and future generations of Americans, every hunter should participate in this program.
