Some pointers on hunting the Ko
diak bear by the Cheechako, may
be gained from reading Capt. Rob
ert Anderson’s account of how he
got the “Bear of a Lifetime” which
appears in the September issue of
Outdoor Life. His was a fall hunt
and the bear proved a big one, a
iiue 10’ 4” speciman. His guide
was Criska Nicoli, who guides out
of Alf Madsen's camp at 'Jganik.

Some hardship had to be endur
ed as it was November, with a
snowfall and forty mile winds to
contend with. Anderson said to his
guide several times, after trudg
the heavy growth of aider there,

and get us.” (not the bears but
the guides) But the discovery of
footprints the size of breadpans
took some of the fatigue out of
his body. Physical stamina, how
ever, had its limitations, or so it
seemed. Anderson* finally said he
could walk downhill but not up
again. The decision to follow the
bear downhill, but not up, if his
tracks led that way, was short
lived, when the big fresh tracks
led upwards! The final outcome
was one dead bear and an exhaust
ed but happy hunter.

Janet Tourellotte raises a good
point in the August issue of The
Republican Call, when 3he de
plores making the President’s
health an issue. Stating “lets go
all the way on this health busi
ness. Instead of asking the Am
erican people to compare plat
forms of the two parties, let’s ask
them to compare the physical fit
ness of the candidates. Let’s
match them against each other by
cardiogram to cardiogram and me
tabolism to metabolism . . . Lets
leave foreign policy completely
out of our discussion and instead
have exhaustive discussions of the
lungs, eyesight, heating, liver and
stomach and intestines of the can
didates.

on the life expectancy of a heart
patient as compared to a man with
stomach ulcers .... Much easier
on the candidates. All they wpuld
have to do would be to lie in bed
in a hospital where they would be
available for daily tests The po
litical headlines would deal with
their reactions to each test.

come through with flying colors
would be the one who would don
a pair of running trunks and trot
the most number of times around

A story in the Petersburg Press
relates how a man beach seining
brought up a $100 bill in his net,
along with the fish. He didn’t get
to keep it long, as he knew who
it belonged to. Another fisherman
had dropped his wallet in the
water while beach seining about a
month previous. The wallet show
ed up on the beach as he was be
moaning his loss to two men. Act
ually it was stepped on by one of
themen. The $100 bill was missing,
which was found after a lapse of
a month. How lucky can jne get?
