<strong>GUNS</strong> in<br />
Folks around Paden, Okla., are used<br />
to seeing Tom Hopkins, .22 rifle in<br />
hand and his three hound dogs by his<br />
side, head off into the woods on a<br />
squirrel hunting trip. And he practi-<br />
cally never comes back empty-handed.<br />
What's so unusual about this? Tom<br />
Hopkins, who is 52, is completely<br />
blind, has been for 35 years. He hunts<br />
l)y sound alone.<br />

13 Australian sheep farmers are hunt-<br />
ing down the dingo, a wild dog and a<br />
fierce sheep killer, in a most unusual<br />
fashion-with windmills. These wind-<br />
mills are toy ones, intended for chil-<br />
dren, but the farmers are using them<br />
to get at the wily predators. There's<br />
something about the whirling, brightly-<br />
colored blades that the dingo can't<br />
resist and he has to come up to have a<br />
close look at the windmill. That's<br />
when the farmer shoots him down.<br />

13 With one shot Roger D. Lowell, 14,<br />
of Lee, Maine, made himself a small<br />
fortune-for a 14-year-old anyway. He<br />
shot an Albino otter, which is even<br />
rarer than white mink. White mink<br />
pelts sell for $1000 and Albino otter<br />
nelts bring even more.<br />

13 No such nonsense as a store-bought<br />
shotgun for 18-year-old Arnold Allen<br />
of Ada, Okla. He made his own. He<br />
used a three-quarter-inch pipe for the<br />
barrel, whittled himself a stock and<br />
used a small nail for the firing pin.<br />

In Sacramento, a rifle bullet went<br />
through William H. Miller's head-<br />
but he complained only of a "slighi<br />
headache." The rifle discharged acci<br />
dentally while he was cleaning it anc<br />
the bullet entered just above his righ<br />
eye. He walked a half block for hell<br />
and doctors pronounced him all right<br />
