The President took a short walk
about the hotel grounds after dinner
and retired early. Just before dinner
the President, accompanied by only
two secret service men, walked
half mile to a remote, thickly wooded
section to see some grizzly bears
He had been told by Supt. Albright
earlier in the day where these bears
could be found, but he gave no indi-
cation that he intended visiting them,
and when he arrived at the bears
haunt, instead Of seeing one or two,
he ran across a dozen or more of
the largest bears he had ever looked
upon outside a cage. They were all
around the President. but they APP
peared TO be perfectly gentle, al
though showing no inclination to
make friends or to be petted.
On the way to the canyon in the
morning the Presidents car was
stopped for him and Mrs. Coolidge to
look at two large black bears and
their four cubs. These came close to
the car and raised up on their hind
legs to be fed sweets.
