This Week’s
Bear Story
A clipping from a news
paper in V* ash in gto n received
hdre last wee'k ^contained a
story about a former resident
and his encounter with a bear.
Bear stories and bear hunt
ers are quite common in A
laska. This story from the
stateside paper was a “little’’
unusual.
Here is the story: Russell
Ruyle, former student in Ko
diak High School and a for
mer employe at J. W. Patter
son's garage was hunting
bears with a companion.
‘{Nothing unusual so far.
However, Ruyle was hunting
with a bow and arrow and was
travelling with the aid of a
■steel cruteh- Ruyle was the
vietim of an accident several
months ago and is still forced/
to use a crutch to get about.
They found the be«r, the
story goes, and it climbed a
tree Ruyle up with his trusty
bow and let o'd bruin have one
of the arrows. He hit his tar
get. (we don’t know if he
found time to shoot again)
The bear became enraged and
either fell or climbed down
the tree. In the ensuing melee
Ruyle is reported to have
finished the bear off with the
steel crutch! !

Smaller-displacement engines normally need less
gas! That’s one big reason why Ford concentratedL
power offers greater economy!
