days on a bear hunt has not been
successful to date in getting a
bear. But he said he would remain
another week in an attempt to bag
one.
Bear described a previous hunt
in which he successfully downed a
bear with the bow and arrow. He
just recently returned from hunt
ing polar bear which he was suc
cessful in obtaining. He heads a
firm in Michigan who are the na
tions leading bow and arrow manu
facturers.
Robert Munger, also from Michi
gan, accompanied Bear on the
hunt. lie was also present at the
meeting.
A film on inflation and how to
conteract it was shown. Also on the
