Her Fig Leaves Even Shocked
Marauding Mountain Lion
Pair Lived AS Did Adam and
Eve to Prove 1t Could
Be Done
BY c. A. CLAY
NEA Service Writer

SEATTLE, Oct. 1,-They lived
in the manner Of Adam and Eve
just to prove it still can be done.
But week of it was enough Tor
them.
Emerging from their stay in the
wilderness, Earl Oberg and wife
asked only to be let alone with their
grub good, plain, home-cooked
food.
They had won their $500 bet.
but it's begun to look as if they
would have to spend it al on "eats'
to get caught up for all they missed
The Obergs went into the Willis
around Mount Baker, with only q
jack-knife to aid them in obtaining
food and shelter.
LIVED ON BERRIES
owe lived on berries first" says
Mrs Oberg. "And they're certainly
not very filing.
"Then Earl made a snare from
twigs and caught rabbit We
raveled wool threads from our skirts
and caught some fish. We cut bran
ehes and made a 1ean-to' against a
pile of logs.
Earl managed to start a fire by
friction, so we could cook our rab-
bit and our fish. And the fire kept
US from freezing, although it was
pretty cool sometimes"
Mas. Oberg made a costume Of
leaves.
BUT POSSE WITHDREW
Thrills? Yes, they had two big
ones
First night out, a cougar crashed
into their shelter. Their yells, how
ever, scared it away
And then forest ranger-sura
they were fugitives from Justice
led g posse to their primitive abode.
But convinced Of their identity, the
posse left them alone 20 win their
bet.
qIt was fun" Oberg declares.
"But neither of us would care to do
it again"
