[POLAR BEARS ARE
SOURCE OF DANGER
TO PEOPLE AT WALES
Everett Bachelder has returned
from a trip to Wales and Teller
and was thrilled with his first
visit “over” Diomede, where he
had hoped to land but due to field
conditions was undable to do so.
He stated that at the Wales mil
itary site the foxes are thicker
than dogs and eat out of the ser
vicemen’s hands.
The people there are required
to carry arms, he stated, due to
polar bears which have menaced
the people. One bear was held at
bay against the side of a building
by a Jeep until a gun could be
loaded to kill it.
