IA Shocking Way To Treai a Bear!

PORT ANGELES, Wash, Sept. ' -4Rl- Somewhere up in the Olympic mountains is big black bear still wondering what hit him. The bear had become an increas- ing nuisance in the past two years around Olympic Hot Springs, where he scared the daylights out of vaca- tionists. s- ss
 It took some ingenious teen-agers to send Bre'r Bear packing.
 They set an old bedspring out next to a cabin, and laid out fancy ban quet of chicken bones in the center. They then connected wire to the bedspring, hooked it up to a battery, and waited. When bruin showed up short while later and made for the banquet with his tongue hanging out, they let him have it.
 The marauding bear shot into the air like skyrocket, and lit only long enough to take off up the nearest trail to the mountains in a small cloud of dust.

John Edgar Hoover
On The Sunday School

Three years ago the Director of
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton wrote an article for The Sun
day School Times on Crime and
the Sunday School" (F'eb. z, 194S)
It was in such demand that over
275,000 reprints were sent out by
the Times. D
Mr.. Hoover has now written an
other article exclusively for the
Times entitled 1.-THE Sunday School
Key to Tomorrow" Here are just
a few extracts.
"The continuing flood of i'm
morality and crime accompanies an
all too evident substitution of a Sc
cular, materialistic philosophy for
the historic reliance upon divine
guidance which has been a corner
stone Of our democracy"
"The youth who has experienced
old-fashiOned Christian training and
discipline in the. home and has re-
ceiVed sound, efficient Bible teach
ing in Sunday School has been Civ
en- a sword and buckler against
temptation"
Parents j.. must create in the
home an atmosphere OF Christian
living and reliance upon divine
guidance. This may we'll be accom-
plished by a revival of family BIZ
BILE reading and prayer"
Pastors, Sunday School superin-
tendents and teachers, and parents
will not want to miss this article.
1t will be published in the issue
of May 5. Reprints will be issued
b. the Times, and prices will be
announced. An 18-weeks' subscrip-
tion for 81 ($11O in U. S. A. dol
lars in Canada) sent in immediate
ly, will secure Mr.. HoOver's arti-
Gle and many other fine things
which the Times has in store for
its readers.
Why not let your friends know
abiut the Times by giving them one
of these shOrt-term subscriptions?
Orders, asking for the ]. Edgar

should be sent early to The Sun

CT Insurance Dividend
Checks Now In Mail

The first checks for the second
special dividend of $685 900, 900. to
be paid to holders of some 8.OOO.-
600 CT insurance policies, were
placed in the mail this week.
Veterans Administration said the
checks cover dividends due on
some of the National Service Life
Insurance policies with anniversary
dates falling during the month of
January. The anniversary date of a
policy is the anniversary of the
date on which it originally became
effective.
An insured should not expect to
receive a dividend check until sew
eral months after the policy ami
Versary date because the final cal
culatiOn of the amount due cannot
be made until the last premium has
been paid for the dividend policy
year.
Dividends will be paid on those
policies which have been in force
three months or longer during the
three-year period from the ami
versary in 1948 to 1851, inclusive
This applies to both term and per-
manent plan policies, including
those which have lapsed or were
terminated by the death of the in
sured.
VA said the dividend will re-
Quire about one year in which to
pay. The bulk of the dividend should
be distributed by April, 1862.
VA again urged policyholders
not to make inquiries about the
diVidended BEFORE they receive
their checks. However, AFTER a
pOlicyholder has received his check
and ne has a question about the
payment, he should write to the
VA district office handling his ac-
count. The district office to which
he should write is identified in
printed material accompanying each
check.
One check will be mailed for each
policy. POlicyhOlders with more
than one policy eligible for the div
idend will receive one check for
each eligible policy, based on the
anniversary date of that policy.
Since different policies held by the
same insured may have anniversary
dates months apart the dividends
would be paid at different times.
The amount of dividend earned
by each policy will vary according
to the following formula: Q) the
number if months it was in force;
(2) the plan of insurance; (3) the
face value of the policy, and (4)
the age of the insured at the time
it became effective.
Since this is a special dividend,
the payments may not be left on
deposit with VA at interest. How
ever, the checks may be cashed and
the proceeds used to pay insurance
premiums.
