One fellow was riding horseback out toward the Matanuska River. A bear | ran into the trail. “Whoa!” cried the | rider. The horse didn’t need instruc- | tions. Instead it swung so sharply | that it hurled rider and saddle to the ground. Mrs. Bernard Gulberg saw a bear near her place when returning home from a berry-picking jaunt. She threw herself into a ditch and lay | there trembling until the bear saun- | tered off in the bushes. [ A construction crew truck driver came upon a bear on a highway.

That’s when the truck | | made tracks! According to Alaska game laws, colonists are not allowed to shoot any | game during their first year here | without a non-resident license cost- | ing $50. However, the game officials body in Alaska ever got fined for shooting a bear “in self-defense,” and any allegations made against him.

'HE life of a legislator is generally considered a long round of heavy deliberations. Many of them have their lighter moments, however, and nta- tive George Holden Tinkham, Repub- lican, of Massachusetts, passed some of his a few nights ago at the Carlton Hotel Garden. After having a bountiful dinner, the bewhiskered and popular New Eng- lander joined L. H. Parker, chief of staff of the Joint Committee on In- ternal Revenue Taxation and unoffi- cial member of Congress, at a nearby table for a cigar and a drink. ‘When the wandering musicians who circulate through the garden neared the table, the Representative led them through a couple of tuneful numbers while nearby highball sippers ap- plauded.
