PAGE J3IGHT THE DAILY MESSENGER, CANANDAIGUA, N. WEDNESDAY, MAKC11 10,1937. Bows and Arrows Made Here by Expert Used In Archery Matches With archery steadily growing in popularity throughout the United States, Canandaigua is not only represented by the local Arcnery Club, but by one of its residents who ranks high among the best of makers in the country. At his home in Telyea Street. Gorman McMillan, has built by hand during the past seven years many of the bows, arrows and other items of archery equipment with v.hich record scores have been recorded in some of the greatest of the" American tou Tiaments.

An artist in one of the most ancient of professions, Mr. McMillan is kept consistently busy filling the orders which reach him almost daily from leading exponents of the sport. Arrows In Demand To the unitiated, astonishment is manifest at the infinite care with which the best bows are constructed and the fine fidelity to decai! which ma.ks the construction of an arrow- in Mr. McMillan's shop When he explain? 'iirc degree of accur- cst degree of skill and care, with the shafts for a set of a dozen cut from a single block of wood in order i that the trend and density of the I grain may be identical in each ar' row. McMillan explained thsl many of the big firms engaged in the manufacture of archery equipment turn out arrows by machinery, but those used for championship purposes, he said, are still made by hand.

Sanded by Hand Tlie square blocks from which the arrows are fashioned first are turned down on a lathe after which they are sanded by hand. They are fitted with three feathered guides which comprise the "fletching." and are' fitted with metal tips and composition notches which receive the string of the bow. When they are finally polished and decorated they do not vary one from another in the set of a dozen, more than five grains, or the weight of an aspirin tablet, "The wood from which a good 15 made," said Mr. McMillan, be stiff and absolutriy i-1 yah th" rcauct VOLLEY BALL DRAWS CROWD Phelps Downs Canandai- g-ua in 7-Game Match At Y.M.C.A.

Nothing indicates that this will be true. On the contrary, it appears that prices may be higher rather than lower, and with some seeds, such as domestic grown red clover and alfalfa, it may not be possible to get them at all."

Harnett, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, said today.

"Climatic conditions were unusual, and many motorists took advantage of the mild weather to use their cars during the month," Commissioner Harnett said. "The number of registered vehicles on the highway last year, was 130,055 more than in 1935, and we believe that a large proportion of registered cars were in use in January, in comparison with former years, when cold weather and deep snow compelled many drivers to leave their cars in storage. "Gasoline consumption was much greater in January than in former years, and this key to the rate of traffic explains the increase in accidents. In variably, accidents are in direct ratio to the number of cars on the road." Compaiative accident figures for January, 1937, and January, 1936, were announced by Commissioner Harnett as follows: Total fatalities, 235 in 1937; 154 in 1936. Total injuries, 8.055 in 1937; 6,336 in 1936.

Total accidents reported. 6.291 in 1937; 5.024 in Total pedestrian fatalities, 141 In 1937; 101 in 1936. THE LATEST DECORATIVE C.NDORSED BY THE EDITORS LEADING MAGAZINES Bates Bros. South Main St. Cauundaigua, N.
