this with interest. He also noticed hungry
look on the boys face one afternoon when
the camp cook was making up batch of
doughnuts. Next day Hank got permission
from the parents to take the lad for short
walk. Safely out of sight from the camp,
he produced a sack of doughnuts and a
thick cut of roast moose.
1t was our secret said Hank slyly. Il

Must Knew HIS Job
HE Alaska Registered Guide list contains
about 100 carefully selected names To get his
name on the list man must first have at least
five years experience in hunting, trapping or
acting as assistant guide in Alaska. He must
pass written test based on his knowledge of
wild life, firearms and game laws. He must
be physically fit, able to do professional job
of skinning and curing trophies in the field
and know how to get along with people.
Lately, visiting sportsmen's interests run
more to taking motion pictures, less to killing.
Guides encourage this bloodless shooting with
the camera say it requires greater skill, sup
plies more thrills because you have to get
closer to your subject. Veteran Andy Simons
has story to prove it:
Il had top-notch professional photog
rapher with me far out near the base of
Pavlof Volcano, picking up some footage of
the giant Peninsula brown bear. We built
loose blind of shrubs and tall grass on the edge
of a salmon stream. and had no sooner crawled
behind it than the bears started showing up
right in front of the camera, some of them not
more than forty or fifty feet away.
They were huge brutes weighing we'll over
half ton. Plenty dangerous, too, in such
close quarters. But my man calmly chewed
tobacco and kept right on grinding out the film
while held my rifle ready in case of attack.

out of sight. But this bear wasn't content with
merely saving her cub - she wanted to finish
the fight The next time Hank saw her, she
had dropped down to his level few yards
away and was squeezing herself toward him
along the narrow shelf, teeth clicking with
rage, foam dripping from her jaws as it always
does when bear really means business.
Still in his cramped position, the guide
somehow managed to draw back the bolt
of his rife, and holding it with his free
right hand, extended the muzzle. The
brown, furry chest was almost within touch
ing distance when he pressed the trigger
Hank offered no further details, but his
point was established. Might never happen
again, he said. But We'll play it safe"

you are not in the books they
can't help it - all they know
is they saw it for themselves.
Take Hank, for instance.
He's had several close brushes
with grizzlies but ask him which animal he
considers the most dangerous and he'll tell
you it's moose. Not big, green-eyed bull
during the rutting season, but cow defend
ing her newborn calf. They're unpredictable,
says Hank Sometimes they'll run away when
the man smell hits them; sometimes they'll
hold their ground with bristling name; some
times they'll run away, then come charging
back when you get close to the calf That's
what happened one day when Andy Sinons
and Hank were trying to make some pictures.
The COW trotted away when it first caught
the man scent, so Andy moved in for close
up At Hanks shout of warning, Andy whirled
to find the COW towering above him, all set to
slice down with her sharp front hooves. II
never saw man move so fast in so many
directions" remarked Hank. (Andy says he
wouldn't have been so lucky if Hank hadn't
jumped in to confuse the moose She returned
to the calf and waited for the two guides to
attack, which, being men of common sense,
they didn't do.)
The guides even get unorthodox ideas
about people. They meet their hunters at
the steamer docks and express no sur
prise when they learn that they have
either a heart case, bad liver or an
intestinal ailment on their hands. The
guides don't worry - they've had this kind
before, have watched the magic of the big out
doors do wonders with them, have noticed how
soon they forget their capsules and tonics

mountain sheep could be seen grazing.
"I'd give most anything to get within

Hank. But it. no use. My doctor gave me
strict orders to stay below five thousand feet
if want to live"
Hank said nothing, but as he guided the
hunter in frequent rambles around the camp
he watched his man closely. Finally, on a
morning when a bank of fog rolled in from
Skilak Lake, the guide got an early start with
his hunter. They moved slowly through the
thick blanket of mist, stopping to rest often,

Mr.. Percy Greene
Publisher Jackson Advocate

Dear Mr.. Greene:
Your previous efforts at journ-
not believe that you want to OPP
alism have been such that I can
crate a "Yellow Journalism, and
l am going to ask you to be fair
and publish this letter from a
reader of and subscriber to your
paper, although for some reason
you did not send me a copy of
your issue of October and l
only saw it by some friend send
ing it.
1. You were very unfair in your
headline "Howard Deserts Repub-
lican Leaders" when the reading
of the article is contrary to the
headline.
2. You take this article from
the Chicago Defender written by
Miss Venice Sprague when you
know that the Defender has alb
solutely been supporting Ex-
Mayor Kelley of Chicago and has
in a straight out way advocated
the cause of the Democratic party
and certainly no Democrat can
find any good in an orthodox
Republican like me.
8. 1 did not say that the Negro
can now vote IN the election with
''impunity". To the contrary, l
said he could now vote with "dig-
nifty" by not having to vote a
Democratic ticket which l insist
and repeat that no Negro can do
consistently.
a. You referred to my failure
to sign statement issued by a
group which met in Philadelphia
to assail the Republican Party and
the statement was prepared by
paid lobbyists for the F. E. P. c.
Now, do you feel that it would
be consistent on my part or any
other good Republican to assail
my party because it didn't do
everything that paid lobbyists
wanted it to do at the time that
they wanted it?

gress is going to put through

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One of the stock sayings

attitude and outlook on the af-
fairs of folks and the world, and
it has to be really something, is,

Chilluns of the female sex got

been mortal combat. While the com
bat ragged along comes a news
photo-man or somebody else with
a picture taker and caught them;
ON the ground looking as though
mayhem and murder was the only
possible thought of the moment.
The next morning when the town
woke-up after the night at the fair,
the picture was smack dab on the
front page of the CLARION LED
