the fighting earlier in the day.
He lived at London. o., and was

Cuba since 1906. He was shot
while watching the fighting from

The firing spread rapidly

bear he had tried to entertain.
The bears name was Saucer"

front of Hunters Inn, on the
Montauk highway on Long Island.
Grant and his pal, Jack Ger
hardt were on their way home
from school when they passed the
inn, and decided to stop for a few
moments and watch the two bears.
They didn't know that coup" and
"Saucer" hadn't been fed for two
days. The owner was away.
Grant and Jack knew enough to
stand their distance. even in front
of tame bears. Grant had an ap-
pie. which he tossed to Saucer.
The animal lunged forward, half.
starved, snapped her chain, and
started for Grant.

Captive Bear Breaks Chain And
Kills Animal-Loving Long Islander

Grant sought shelter behind i
tree but before he could climb it,
Saucer" was upon him. The bear
threw its forelegs around Grant
and started squeezing.
Young Gerhardt, frightened
half out of his wits. ran as hard
as he could go to nearby road
stand. where he gasped out his
story to Fred Raynor, the pro-
prietor. Meanwhile passing mo-
florists heard the frantic screams
of the boy.
Raynor grabbed a shotgun and
made for the tree where the bear
was mangling her victim. "Sau-
Ger" was still crushing Grant, and
Raynor was afraid, for the mo-
ment. to shoot. He could see,
however. that Saucer was kill
ing the boy, so he let go with the
shotgun. "Saucer" rolled over,
dead. But Grant was already
dead.

mate would break his chain,

Over 500 Men Will
Quit CCC Camps
In This Section
Is Per Cent Fail to Re-
enroll, Will go Home
on Thursday

ASHEVILLE. Oct. 3.-Declin-
ing to re-enroll in the civilian
conservation corps upon the COM
pletion of the first six-months
term, more than 500 men in the
Is C. c. c. camps in Western
North Carolina will return to
their homes Thursday.
The men will be furnished
transportation to their home
towns on special trains.
Reasons for these several hun
dred men-about rs per cent of
the present camps strength in
this area--not re-enrolling, are
many and varied, NJ. A. Mattoon,
supervisor of Pisgah National for
est in which are located 10 of
the camps. and c. F. Evans, dis
trict Inspector of federal state
cooperative projects, agreed.
Not being able to stay away
from their girls so long, regular
job opportunity, returning to
school, being fed up on the camp
life, and cold weather-these and
many other reasons account for
the men not re-enrolling in the
forest and road Improvement
work, the officials said.
Since none of the Is camps
will be abolished. it is probable
that there will be more than 600
camp openings for single men
between the ages of Is and 90,
who have dependents. Choosing
of these men for the openings
will be carried on in the same
manner as originally. Mr.. Mat
toon said. County relief organi.
cations will select the number Of
men in their counties that the
government will allot them. Al
Elements are based on county
population and unemployed fig

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN Ell
Methodists Still
Work on Merger
New Brevard College Will
Open Next Year

CHARLOTTE. Oct. 3.-The in
circumference educational COM
mission of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, south. arranged ten
tative terms for the merger of
Greensboro College at Green's
boro and Davenport College at
Lenoir in Greensboro yesterday.
it was announced last night by
DR.. w. w. Peele of this city,
chairman of the conference.
DR.. Peele said that no details
of the merger agreement can be
made public at the present, as the
plan must be accepted by the
Western North Carolina and
North Carolina conference of the
church before they become final.
The inter-conference commits
sion will present the plan of the
Western North Carolina confer.
ence educational commission, of
which Bishou Edwin D. Mouzon
is chairman, at meeting here
Wednesday. Members of Bishop
Mouzon's commission will later
present it to the conference at its
meeting in Charlotte in Novem-
Der. Members of DR.. PeePs com,
mission from the North Carolina
conference will take the plan to
their conference meeting. 1t will
also be presented to the boards OF
trustees of the two institutions.
If it is adopted by both confer
ences and by the trustees, it will
then be placed in effect, DR.. Peelc
said. Action by both conferences
is necessary since the two organ
izations jointly own the Greens
boro institution. and the Western
North Carolina conference owns
the Lenoir institution.
The Western North Carolina
conference educational commits
sion will meet at the First Meth
odist church here at 10 o'clock
Wednesday. This group is also
working on plans for merging

lished at Brevard next year.
