Saturday the Last]Day For the Registration of All Rifles and Shot Guns Inspector Olson has asked The Adâ€" vance to emphasize the fact that Satâ€" urday of this week is the last day for registering rifles and shot guns. After that date there will be prosecution of any found in possession of unregistered guns, and all unregistered guns will also be confiscated. Penalties are gevere in themselves for the possession of unregistered rifles and sho: guns and in addition there is the confiscation to be considered, so it would appear the part of wisdom to register all rifies and shot guns before Saturday. Up to date between 3,000 and 3500 persons have registered rifles and shot guns at Timmins. This means that over 5,000 guns have been registered. In some cases one person has registered as many as six guns. Despite the large registration it is believed that there are yet a number of unregistered guns and holders of these are reminded that Satâ€" urday is the last day for registration.
