Saving Empties
Is New Pastime
When you get that tube of
toothpaste or shaving cream
rolled up to the last squeeze,
don’t throw the tube away.
“Save the empties” is the watch
word from now on
Because of the serious shorage
in the supply of tin foi defense,
and because most collapsible
tubes consist of almost pure tin,
the War Production Board has
deemed it neaessary to issue an
order requiring all retailers, be
fore delivering a new tube of
shaving cream or too Ji paste, to
obtain the return of a used tube.
(Any collapsible tube, not neces
sarily of the same product.)
This applies to all products in
tubes, and is in effect immediat
ely.
Hunting Story
(conTin i; I from page 5)
Kewan the day before The na
tive is very skeptical of a wound
ed bear but they braved the tall
grass and tag alders. They
searched all that day without
sucess. The morning of the sec
ond day the search began again,
and the group knew by this time
that if Kewan had been lost he
would have wandered out bv
then. The fact that he had killed
41 bears was proof enough that
he knew his surroundings well
After hours of searching they
found a thick clump of brush, a
possible hide-away for the crip
pled bear. As the men skeptic
ally approached they saw no
bear but plenty of sign where
the bear had been lying and pac
ing to and fro as if watching
someone. Xor far away one of
the group shouted his discovery
of a gun, the 30-30 Winchester
belonging to Kewan The tram
pled and beaten grass gave
signs of the struggle that had
taken place, and a few feet away
Kewan’s pipe and tobacco lay at
the foot of a small tree. Also
there were blood signs on the
p'ne.
The party concentrated its
search, and it was but a few
minutes that the body of Ke
wan was found, lying on a patch
of snow near a small creek. He
had been bruised and torn, hit
ten through the ribs and face,
and most of his jaw was torn
out The monstrous bear was

sighted lying facing the man, fiis^
head across a pole. One man
ventured close enough to see
that it was dead others held
back. As scon as a cross was con
structed aid placed where Ke
: wan’s body v. as found, accord
ing to custom, the party left as
soon as possible and descended
the mountain with the mutilated
coi pse, last of perhaps the great
est Kodiak bear hunter Alaska
bad ever known.
By the day of the funeral
many frightful stories of the
scene where the body was found,
and also of the bear, could be
heard. Some said the bear was
spotted and had a long tail.
Mr. Baumann, a fish commis
sioner there at the time, went up
the day after the funeral and
looked over the scene. He report
ed that he found a huge dead
bear, that it had been shot 11
times, and that the fatal shot
had been fired by Kewan after
he had been so ferociously chew
ed and mauled.
Thus ends the true saga of
Kewan: I was all the more thrill
ed and determined to get a Kod
iak bear, too.
(Next week Wiseman tells
of his own experiences in getting
his Kodiak.)
