ton Coursel's ONCE for review
and recommendations.
In its report, the commits
sion said the city's real estate
license law, enacted in 1887,
has undergone no major change
In more than 20 years. The
three commission members said
the present law Is now obsolete
and should be revised to the
higher levels Of most Of the
States.
Proposals Listed
The proposals today include:
/. Broadening the definition
Of q real estate broker so that
a speculator also would fall un-
der the licensing requirements.
2. Elimination of q six-month
grace period for a salesman to
take the city's examination.
g.. Requiring that a broker
cannot be licensed unless he
has at least two years expert
ence as q real estate salesman,
or the general equivalent in
real estate studies.
4. Widen the grounds for de-
nial, suspension or revocation
Of a real estate broker or sales
mans license. One Of the pro-
posed new grounds would be
conviction Of a crime involving
moral turpitude.
5. Give the Real Estate Com

Sure enough, big pads with

Mr.. Lloyd went back to the

bit of black hair.
That's bear fur" he de-
creed. "That wasn't any
cow"
The next report was from
a farm, along Route 40, the
Baltimore Frederick road.
We asked the woman had
she seen the bear. She said:
mo, but two men stopped
in and said If I had any chill
dren I had better bring them
indoors because they had
seen a bear squatting in the
berry bushes in front of our
place."
It was there that we met
Julian Delphey of the sport
ing goods store at Frederick
He had hounds trained on
bear, which he had used in
Canada. He was trying to
get them to pick up the scent
but the bear had fooled him
by wading in the stream. He
offered to show us a bear.
We went to Frederick with
him. There In a big barred
den behind the store we saw
Mike, a 500-pound black
bear, caught as a cub near
the Conowingo Dam.
I'll never forget Julian's
father saying, as one mignt
say about a dog, "This is our
third bear; we wouldn't
think Of being without a
bear"
Everything seemed set, hut
the photographer wouldn't
get into the cage. When the
picture Of Mike was printed,
it was framed by bars
which left the editor very
skeptical about the whole ex-
pedition.

AFTER THAT the photog-

forgot about the bear and
took q nap. A bed of fern,
with occasional May apples
in fruit, was just too in
viting. After an hour we
were awakened by a STIR
ring. It was caused oy two
hounds on leash pulling d
little unshaven man along.

he asked.
He stopped and talked.
He might or might not have
been able to read or write,
but I will always envy him
his knowledge Of the woods.
He knew its trees. its bushes,
its plants and Its animals.
We went back to the store
at Boyds and heard that the
bear had been sighted while
we dOzed. The attention Of
a young farmland who was
driving along a back road
was attracted by the un-
calmly action Of a black Aber-
deem Angus steer or COW run

it got to a barbed- wire fence
ahead, 1t went up and over
the fence.
He telephoned Harry Lloyd,
a local. hunter who has
brought back bear from the
hills Of Pennsylvania. We
were there at the confronta-
ton.
Where did you say you
saw this?" the hunter asked.
Right here, Mr.. Harry"
said the young man. Il put
a stick right here to mark it."

RecuIIs
Beur Hunt
By GEORGE KENNEDY

88AAANAN81&1 =
That editor probably never,
did realize what a wonderful
story It was. He may never
have accepted, despite a
mounting accumulation Of
second hand evidence, that
there was a bear on the
loose in Upper Montgomery
County.
On this bright, sunny,
warm Monday in June, 1949,
reports from Boyds and other
places along the B&O tracks
near Sugar Loaf Mountain
were such as to make the un-
believable possible. Several
persons had sighted a bear.
1t was far from the hunt
ing season. But the editor
was persuaded to authorize
a bear hunt, a safari consist
ing of a company car, a pho
tographer and this reporter.
1t was an idyllic day. At
Boyds we were told that a
certain backwoods character
who had recently moved into
the county from the Virginia
hills was tracking the bear
down q little stream with his
trained bear hounds.
We went to the stream and
found naked boys diving into
an old swimming hole. We
didn't disturb them by telling
them that a bear was being
coursed their way. For a
time we watched. Then we
Joined them. The air was
hot but 1t was only June and
the water was wonderfully
cool.

Hole Shot In City
Water Storage Tank

Late Saturday evening some
one decided to sight a high power,
ed rifle in on the city water tank
and put a hole in it on the south
side of it.
According to the repairman,
whom it was necessary to send
out of town for, the slug was
evidently a steel jacket and came
from the south-westerly direc-
ton.
A special expanding plug was
used, and while the job took
only a short time, it cost the city
a comparatively large fee for
travelling expenses. Authorities
are still investigating and believe
they may have a good lead as to
the identity of the culprit. "The
cost to him will be plenty when
we do get him." says the city
fathers.

Another Indian Days Cele5ra-
tiOn Is over and has gone into
history marking another success.
Although slow in getting under
way. the excitement and attend
ance picked up 10 a record point
for the last two days.
Contributing 70 the success, in
a large measure. were the visi-
tors from the Governors Con
ference and the induction Of
seven governors. At the begin
ming Of the celebration, there
was no indication that any gov
ernCrS would attend. AID it was
not until Frank Bell CT the B-ll
Telephone Company went into
action that there was any aSsur-
ance Of their coming. As things
progressed. Frank made arrange
ments for seven. along with Gov
eTnOr AIOnsOn, who was already
an honorary member, TO be Civ
en- Indian names, and the COVER
nOrs not only enjoyed the cere-
mOny. but joined in the dancing
and were soon cutting the grass
like real old timers. All-in-all. we
think the Indian Days dOings was
just the right sort Of climax to
give our visiting dignitarieS the
real flavor Of the true west d.
Mountain scenery. cowboys,
horses. Indians and Indian
dances. That just about describes
the whole picture, and we think
il will remain with our guests
and be the topic Of conservation
for many years TO come
The rOdeo. too. was a dinger,
and ! think it would be safe to
say that this was the best two
day show in Browning for many
years. and one Of the best at
tended.
The weather. of course. played
an important part in both the
attendance of the Indian Days
and the ROdeO. II was ideal, sun
ny and warm. except for the one
evening shower that was welcom-
ed to lay the dust. The old timers
will tell you that Crow Chief
Reevis had something to do with
ideal weather. and maybe he did.
From our own personal Obser-
vatiOns we would say that there
was the best bunch Of bucking
horses we ever saw i'm Browning.
There were plenty Of thrills and
spills in every event in the fast
moving show. and that is what
IL takes 10 please a rOdeO crowd.
For many of the teen-agers,
especially the girls. the Indian
Days and rOdeO was only second
ary when George Montgomery
appeared in person. George is a
top western movie and TV actor
and was naturally beseiged by
the teens for his picture and

10 one youngster who bumped
into me while gazing at her
autograph picture, I'll bet you

That amt no joke. Mr." she
sighed and strolled on.
George was here filming parts
of the celebration and rOdeO
which will be used along with
shots from other state rOdeOs on

December.
We. too, enjoyed his company

he came up with was a sys-

at the vantage point with
field glasses, watching the

to serve another course, he
flashed q green light for the

the time came to remove
