Bear Hunter Has Close Shave

Paul L. Short, undertaken of Mt. Vernon, Ind, came to Kodi- ak to get a bear-and dld-but the bear got within 15 feet of him first, SO MT. Short says Viewer againp
 Short and Leland Dennis, pres ident of the Cotton Concentra- tion Corporation of Galveston. Texas, left last week with Ali Madsen and Eli Metrokin for Uganik bay.
 On the second day of the hunt Dennis got his bear with one shot. It was getting late and the hunters couldn't see the bear when suddenly it stood up 250 yards away and Dennis shot, the bullet hitting just below one of the bears eyes. It measured 10 feet 4 inches.
 On the 3rd day Madsen and Short spotted a bear, and rowed over on the spot on the bay to try for it. When they got ashore the bear was out of sight and they could not locate it again. Both men started up a small rise to get a better view when they heard noise and looking around there was large male bear, that had apparently been Tn 8 draw, coming up the rise at the same time Neither man had time to raise his rife in the brush and alders. Short said Madsen step- ped aside quickly and both shot from the hIp. He said Madsen's bu let went iRto the neck and his hit the bear behind the ear and the bear dropped. Short fired ? more shots into the neck "just to be sure." Looking back, Short

said It was a good thing Madsen stepped aside because Madsen was in front of him.
 Pacing off the distance to the bear, they discovered it was 5 steps, or about Is feet. Madsen went to get the other men and told Short not to move, SD they could show how close they were. After Madsen left Short took another look at the bear and the closeness of it and promptly g t sick. "I was as sick as 8 mule :" Short said indie ating that was very sick indeed.
 His bear measured 10 feet 5 inches, and he admits he is glad he got it but he just isn't inter ested in any more bears.
 The party returned to Kodiak yesterday and expects to leave Monday.

During the war we have heard and read more about the actlvl- ties in which the Red Cross takes part. We have noticed posters and other information as to the many things in which the Red Cross participates.
 The Red Cross Is an lnterna- tional non.profit relief agency financed through the contrlbu- tons of you and your commun- ity chapter.
 The Duties of the organ'z Ation are so many that it is impossible to discuss them all.

compensation consisted in the per-

regarded as a profession and a
wav to earn a livelihood. No SEN
