Congratulations Mr. Wil


for gangster-type weapons dates
back to the National Firearms
Act of 1934. There is no Federal
Registration  requirement for
ordinary rifles, shotguns, pistols
and revolvers, although certain
controls on the sales of these
weapons become    effective De-
cember 16, 1968, as part of the
new Gun Law.

  Firearms which must be re-
gistered under the Act include
shotguns with barrels less than
18 inches long, rifles with bar-
rels less than 16 inches long and
altered rifles and shotguns with an
overall length of less than 26
inches, such as shotgun or rifles
cut down to pistol size or shape.

  Other firearms covered by the
registration requirements: Fully
automatic guns, such as machine
guns and pistols that fire more
than one shot by a single function
of the trigger, and firearm muf-
flers or silencers. In addition,
registration is required of all


weapons or devices, except for
conventional pistols or revolvers,
which are capable of firing a
shot and being concealed on a
person and weapons formerly
classified as "dewats" --de-ac-
tivated war trophies.

   Destructive devices, such as
 explosives, incendiary or poison
 gas bombs, grenades, rockets,
 missiles, mines and certain pro-
 jectile firing weapons, namely
 anti - tank guns, bazookas and
 mortars, also must be registered.

   Anyone who possesses afire-
 arm or destructive device, as
 defined by National Firearms Act,
 and who fails to register the
 weapon between November 2 and
 December 1 as required by the
 Gun Control Act, will be subject
 to imprisonment up to 10 years,
 a fine up to $10,000 or both for
 each   weapon  not registered.
 Under certain conditions, the law
 provides civil penalties and pro-
 perty forfeitures.


           OPEN LETTER

   On behalf of my fellow coaches, the Warrior Squad, and
 myself, I would like to express my greatest appreciation to
 the area fans, business establishments, Booster Clubs and all
 the present students and former students and players for their
 phone calls, letters and telegrams of congratulations and
 encouragement for the Warren game.
   I can honestly say that the sendoff Saturday morning was
 the greatest such  event I have ever been a part of. This
 enthusiastic effort on the part of the community was excellent
 and had a most encouraging effect on the boys. I hope that
 those who backed us so sincerely are as proud of our boys
 after their performance as we are of our fans and Boosters
 who, in my opinion, are second to none.
   It is my sincere hope that this support continues to be as
 enthusiastic toward our schools, students and athletic program
 as it was this past week. This is the kind of encouragement
 that makes our work, as players and coaches, just a little
 bit easier. We must move towards Martins Ferry with a
 proper attitude and with you behind us, I'm sure that we can.
   Once again, on behalf of the coaches and squad members,
 thank you for your 110% attitude and effort.
                                            Most Sincerely,
                                COACH BOB KETTLEWELL

shopping spots in the area.
  In the picture are (1 to r) Bob Travor-Vice President of Personnel; Geno Morelli-President of Chamber
of Commerce; Dave Wiggins-President; Ronald Reed-Manager; Mayor Anthony Petrozzi and Ralph Koch.


  Mr. Jeff Peltz, principal of
Wintersville High School and Mr.
Alfred  Diserio, principal  of
Buchanan Junior High School,
have  announced a jointly-held
Open House Evening for both
schools on Monday, November 11,
between 5:30 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.
   Mrs. Julia McDonald, Food
Supervisor for the Indian Creek
School District, will have a turkey
dinner served in both the Winters-
ville High School and the Bucha-
nan Junior High School cafeterias

and 7:30 P.M. on that evening for
the visiting parents who wish to
participate.

  The price will be forty-five
cents per dinner. Parents must
have reservations to be served.
This is necessary so the cafe-
teria will know how much food
to prepare. Please send your
reservation to school with your
child.


  This will provide the parents
the opportunity to observe the
cafeterias in operation and to
encourage    further  cafeteria
patronage by the students.
  Another phase of the program
will be the continuous -showing
of a fifteen-minute movie, en-
titled "Food, The Color of Life"
in room one, the science room,
in Buchanan Junior High School.
It will deal with food nutrition.
  The purpose of the Open House
is to permit the public to visit
the new classroom facilities on
the Wintersville campus. Pri-
mary interest will be focused on
the Portable Classrooms build-
ing recently erected on the east
side of the high school building
and the Business Office Equip-
ment classroom, 104, in the
Buchanan Junior High building.
  Mr. Peltz and Mr. Diserlo wish
to extend a special invitation
to the parents of the Wayne stu-
dents, attending classes on the
W intersville campus of the Indian
C reek School District.
