Branch 705 Mayville, Wisconsin

On Sunday, June 29, the William Penn, Branch 705, Trap Team was entered in competition at the Wisconsin Trapshooting 5-man team event held in Waukesha, Wisconsin. This event is the 27th annual and is the biggest one-day shoot in the nation. This year, 210 teams representing clubs, businesses, communities and even families, participated in the all day event.

We are proud to relate the William Penn, Branch 705, newly formed team won high honors in Class E among the over 1000 shooters present. For its efforts, the team won a fine trophy and each man won a belt buckle, shooting patch and a money award from the Milwaukee Sentinel and the Wisconsin Trapshooting Association.

As an added activity, Branch 705 in 1980 has formed a William Penn trapshooting team. The team is in competition with approximately 36 teams at the Horicon Marsh Sportsmens Club, Route #2, Mayville, at 7:00 P.M. Tuesday evenings. The league is together for 20 weeks throughout the summer months, and, at this writing with one third of the season completed, William Penn is in a tie for second place in Division IV.

A Pain in the Neck

In most cases of neck pain brought on by poor posture, overwork or tension, the pain can usually be relieved by rest, aspirin, the application of heat and, occasionally, the use of muscle relaxants. These measures, however, bring only temporary relief; the pain will recur if you do not change your postural habits.

Try to not sit in any one position too long. Specifically, do not keep your head bent over reading or sewing or fixed on the television screen without intervals of relaxation. Even if your neck strain is the consequence of an occupational posture, in most jobs it is possible to change positions, get up and stretch, do a few simple neck-resting exercises from time to time. This not only relaxes the muscles but also relieves tension which, of itself, tightens up the neck muscles and contributes to neck pain.

Other suggestions for preventing neck strain:

i Sit on a straight-backed chair. Sit up straight and keep your neck straight.

i Don’t try to compensate for your height at the expense of neck comfort. If you’re short, don’t try to overcome it by thrusting your chin upward. If you’re tall, don’t slump to mask it. Either habit places a strain on the neck.

i Don’t sit up head-first from a lying-down position nor lie down backward from a sitting position. Use a sideways motion instead.

i Don’t read in bed or slouched in a low chair with most of the weight of your upper torso on the back of your neck; and don’t read while lying on your stomach with your head extended backward.

i Don’t sleep on thick, hard pillows. A contour pillow that fits the curve of your neck may be helpful.

1 Above all, adjust the mechanics of placing yourself in relation to what you are doing.
