Dr. McNaughton traced the evolution of the modern rifle from pre-colonial days and the musket to the present and the modern Winchester, Browning and Remington models. The Kentucky rifle, the speaker said, was standard during frontier days. In spite of their name, most of them were made in Philadelphia. The Kentucky rifle, used by men who walked, was long, heavy and ungainly. Lighter Rifle Needed As the frontier moved westward to the plains, the pioneers took to horse back, which required a shorter, more easily handled gun. So the plainsmen's cap-lock rifle was developed. First cartridge was produced by the Volcanic Rifle and Pistol Co. It was a hollow-backed shell, the hollow portion filled with fulminate of mercury, which was exploded by a firing pin. It tended to corrode rifle barrels, however, so was not too widely used. Later, Daniel B. Wesson of Smith-Weson weapons fame developed the rim-fire cartridge, Tyler B. Henry used the rim-fire cartridge in conjunction with the Volcanic lever action rifle to form the very popular Henry repeater rifle. New Member Introduced President Bill Wyllie introduced Bill Ryan, lately from Florida, who has joined the Electra Motors organization. J. Frank Kellogg introduced Bill Armstrong, a Northrop engineer, who has joined the Kiwanis club. Other contributors to the meeting's activity were A. J. Schutte, William J. Calvy, Ken Hauck, Wayne Butterbaugh and Tom Henry.

When you have only two cards left to play in an exciting grand slam hand—or in any situation where you'd like to say "Wait a minute!"—it's always a temptation not to answer the telephone immediately. The person calling, though, doesn't know what you're doing, and may hang up, thinking you are not at home. That way, you may miss important calls. So, next time your phone rings, won't you try to answer as quickly as you can? this free booklet for listing long-distance and frequently-called local telephone numbers is yours for the asking. Just telephone, send a postcard or call at your nearest Pacific Telephone business office.
