New Curbs On Racket Guns Pushed

WASHINGTON. D C. - House Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bill Hughes (D-NJ) has joined other Congressional leaders in introducing major new firearms legislation. The Racketeer Weapons and Violent Crime Control Act of 1985. The transfer of machine guns and silencers would be banned. The bill would

require a 15-day waiting period for the purchase of a handgun to allow for a check of records of criminal convictions or dangerous mental illnes. INEQUITIES in the law. needless paperwork, and regulatory burdens on hunters, sportsmen and firearms dealers would be eliminated. "This bill is a reasonable and balanced effort. to keep the tools of crime out of the hands of criminals. "We are going to work with the millions of gun owners and firearms dealers who share our concern about crime, and who don't want unfair regulatory penalties or unnecessary record keeping. The sportsmen in my district support effective law enforcement." Hughes said.

Joyride III jjk By Libby Demp Forrest Ct | There was this relative of ours. Year after year she hung out the clothes on the line, sighing, she'd stand at the sink doing dishes and sighing, and she'd sweep the walk, sighing. She'd sigh. "Saturday's child works for a living." t * She always let us know she had beerfftorn on a Saturday and because of that her life was all toil. When we came to visit, she'd make delicious dinners, knock herself out to set a beautiful table and refused any help whatsoever in the kitchen. "No. you sit and rest while I do the dishes." she'd say. "I was born on a Saturday. Saturday's child works for a living." WET) SIT in the living room and overhear her sighing in the kitchen. Her living room was immaculate, all the curtains were freshly starched and when we'd tell her how beautiful they always looked, she'd sigh. "I take them down every three weeks," she'd say. "1 wait for a nice sunny day and hand wash them. Then I starch them and hang them out to dry. I don't let them get too dry because 1 have to iron them right away. I set up the ironing board and spend the rest of the afternoon ironing them just so. I'm too tired by dinnertime to eat much. It's hard, hard work to wash and iron curtains." WE ALWAYS FELT sorry for her and we always kind of regretted complimenting her on the fresh curtains. - The same was true when we mentioned how the windows always shined, or how pretty the slipcovers were She'd sigh and tell us how hard she worked to keep them that way She'd always add, 'T was bom on Saturday Saturday's child works for a living." And so it was year after year until one tyne when No. 1 was about 10 years old and fascinated with time. He ordered a 100 year calendar he saw advertised in a magazine and when we visited our relative that year we brought the calendar along. We asked her the date and year she was born, and when she told us. we looked it up on the 100 year calendar. No. 1 crossed the spotless living room to point his finger at the day of the week she was born. "Look at this," he said. "You weren't born on Saturday after all." She looked for a minute, then she sighed. "That calen dar couldn't be right. Those things you order from magazines aren't any good." She went into the kitchen to get us some lemonade, freshly squeezed in a shining glass pitcher and she carried in a tray with some cookies placed on an immaculate linen napkin. When we told her how good the lemonade and cookies were, she sighed. ' , "They're work to fix." she said. "But I'm used to it.*' — Letters Welcome n The Herald.
