There are 50 regular USARM rifle clubs in Kaunas, Lithuanian SSR.
Several hundred boys and girls are being trained in groups under primary

institutions, who had orginally promised to participate, are not giving the
builders of the shooting range any support whatsoever.

began in March in O1essa. Nearly 100 sp.xrc3man ptrtieipated in the
