Being Called Honey Is
More Than He Can Bear
lRy Associated Pressl

lSSAQUAH, Wash, Oct. 30
Harris H. Hall, elderly Issaquah
rancher, was surprised at how
fast man can climb a tree with
honey on his shoes.
The honey, in his case, was the
indirect cause of his sudden as
cent. The direct cause was the
black bear that seemingly had
taken liking to the sweet stuff.
Hall said he got the honey on
his shoes while attending his
apiary the previous day. AS he
told the story, the first he sus-
pected of the bears presence was
when it started licking at his heels
as he was walking uphill to the
apiary. He had thought it was his
dog coming up, behind him.
The honeyed shoes left the
scene pronto-with Hall in them.
He said he stayed up a maple
tree for more than two hours be-
fore the bear finally got tired of
waiting for the shoes to come
down, and ambled away.

that we can't be sure of anything
as Patricia May Podoll of San Fer
nando and Warren Rhodes of El

The two had planned to be mar
ried on May % following Warren's
receipt of his commission as Sec
ond lieutenant in the United States
Army Air corps on May 20. His
mother, Mrs. w. H. Rhodes, and
his fiancee were in Stockton, where
he has been taking his training,
to view the commissioning exer-

were changed and he liad to report
immediately to Sacramento. With
the marriage license in Los An

married then, so there was nothing
to do but telephone and telegraph,
cancelling plans for the wedding
on the 22nd. Instead, Miss Podoll
will complete her college year and
then the wedding will take place,
probably the latter part of this
