 MEETS TODAY
 WITH CROOKES
Ski Artist Confers with Forest Service
 Officials

Forest Service officials conferred this morning in Regional Forester B. F. Heintzleman's office with Dar- roch Crookes, visiting Olympics ski artist, over winter sports possibili- ties in the Juneau area.
 We discussed the possibilities for more ski facilities with reference to several areas near here said Heint- zlman today. "Crookes told us what he had observed and we made no plans, but feel that future develop ment of ski facilities near Juneau will probably be in increased devel- opment of the present valley on the Douglas trail and perhaps some work in the basin at Salmon Creek Dam" "

race about scolding everybody and

race about scolding everybody and
claiming that all those nuts belonged
to him. The less attention others
gave to him the angrier he grew. He
was angry because he was piggish and
couldn't bear to see the others getting
those nuts, ana he was angry because
no one any longer paid him the
least attention.
At first he scolded everybody, but
after q while he devoted all his
scolding to Buster Bear. Perhaps he
felt that it made him appear very
brave to scold one 80 big as Buster
Bear. For . long time he was quite
content to do his scolding from the
safety Of . tree. As Buster moved
about from place to place Chatterer

high above Busters head would call
him names and say all the mean, un-
pleasant things he could think Of.
Buster paid not the least attention to
him. He went right on hunting for
nuts, with little whines and grunts Of
pleasure, just as if there was no one
anywhere about.
Chatterer just couldn't stand this.
Little by little he crept down from
his high perch and clinging to the
trunk OF the tree scolded harder than
ever. Still Buster took no notice Of
him. Finally Chatterer dropped to the
ground and darted right past Buster
to another tree. Buster didn't even
look up. Chatterer grew angrier than
ever. Hs forgot what he had come
there for. Hs forgot everything but

He dug his claws into the bark and
held on.
Then came a harder snap than
before. Chatterer lost his grip and
away he went flying through the air!
He hit the branches of another tree
and tried to cling, but couldn't. Then
down he fell to the ground. 1t would
have been q bad, a very bad fall, for
any one but Chatterer, but it did him
no harm save to knock the breath
from him for just = second or two.
Then he was on his feet and scurrying
for safety.
Buster Bear didn't even look at him,
but with a twinkle in his eyes calmly
went to hunting nuts again.

rushing across to another tree he
stopped and made faces at Buster.
Buster kept right on hunting for
nuts, but though Chatterer didn't
know it Buster was watching him from
the corners Of his shrewd little eyes.
Gradually Buster moved over where
the trees were small and Chatterer
followed. Suddenly. like flash Bus

Buster Bear walked up to it and
