Only Wild Bear Is
Delivered Unexpectedly
To Columbus Farmer
0 Wananish. N. C.—Perhaps ihe
onlv beat ever delivered ••'OH.
PDQ and completely unoxree'ed
was pul riaht in the 'ront y:M'd of
an astonished Columbus County
farmer some years ago.
A group down hero organized a
bear hunt into the all but impene
trable recesses >f (Jreene Swamp.
In the community resided a :em
poraril.v crippled man who dearly
loved bear hunts but who no longer
could undergo their strenuosity. In
1 his country it :s so tough that lhat
famous b'ur '..inter. Bishop Roy
Hampton of Plymouth, 'so called
because of his veracity> has a word
for it. To wit: "Anybody after go
ing bear hunting always says that
any other sport is for wimmin and
chillun only."
But the local boys took the
handicapped man along in two
wheel road cart, drawn by an in
difi'erent mule named Sadie, who
in her more mundane moments
worked in a tobacco field. It was
Sadie's firs! b'ar hunt.
Well, they drove ihe -oad cart
into a clearing and loft it there,
with the incapacitated hunter,
whilst the men and dogs vvent ou'
to rouse a bear. A big one was
soon started and eventually it
worked to the clearing vvhere
stood the cart, the immobilized
hunter and Sadie.
The closing circle panicked the
bear. She ran first to one side and
then the other, but as the hounds
closed in. there seemed to lie only
one refuge the cart.
Up into the cart climbed ihe
bear. The unarmed hunter (sud
denly discovered he could use his
Jinibs and out he went.
About this time. Sadie became
aware of the commotion and her
nostrils became aware of a strange
and terrifying scent. Awav she
•> <it«.'l down swamp oad. with
the bear hanging on as best she
cum Id.
Sadie ran the three miles home,
da .it-u wildly into the yard, bump
ed over a deep rut. and jolted ihe
bear right in the mulewowner's
front vard.
When tho crestfallen hunters re
turned omptv-handed. the "arir.er
from whom the cart was borrowed
was busily engaged in skinning the
bar.

i—HOLLYWOOD —————————
* News and Views of Hollywood *
By BOB THOMAS
0 Hollywood—(/P)—All was con
fusion on the first day of "Blue
Skies."
There were enough people on
the set for a minor de Mille crowd
scene. Only a small percentage
were actors, however. The res!
were fugitives from other studio
departments, heribboned service
men. tourists with friends in .he
front office, and such as producers'
relatives, press agents and a news
pa p er eorrespondent.
There was also a Targe quantity
of talent on the set. They included
the ace director, Stuart Heisler;
the fine dancer. Paul Draper: a
groaner named Crosby: and his
gag man. Barney Dean, reputed to
have been won from Hob Hope in
a gin rummy game.
There was also a lovely blonde
named Joan Caulficld. She is new
enough to pictures so i.hat her
name was even misspelled on her
dressing room. Joan *vas ••ecruiled
from the Broadway cast of "Kiss
and Tell" and has appeared in one
unreleased Paramount opus. "Miss
Susie Slagle."
The prospect of dancing with
Paul Draper and singing with Bing
Crosby in a picture should be a
terrifying one, and 1 asked Joan
how her nerves were.
"Strangely enough, my nerves
are all right." she said. "It's not
like the first night of a play when
you fo out and give your all in one
evening. I've been oract icing ;he
dance routines on the picture "or
weeks and so the first day of shoot
ing doesn't mean very much."
Joan said she didn't do much
singing with Bing. but die danc
ing that's something else again.
"It's pretty tough on a girl who
has never danced in her life," she

said. Also. 1 Hp imneccablp Mr.
Draper is stickler for precision.
Hut reports indicate thai loan is
coming a long inc.
"Another reason why I don't
have any nerves is because of
Bing." she added. "You know—a
i»i11 ought'to pay tn he in the same
picture with him. Fie is absolutely
wonderful. This morning he was
blowing up Ihe scenes right and
left. But he didn't forget his lines
—he was just trying to put Paul
and me at ease. What a man!"
At this moment Joan had to re
turn to the set, which was a speak
easy of the 20's. She was doing a
scene in which she and Draper .«n
tered the club and were greeted by
the entrepreneur, played by Croz.
As usual. Bins was performing
with a fine disregard for the print
ed word as recorded in the script
lie often makes it up as he goes
along, not unlike Benny Goodman
on a hot lick.
Sometimes, though, oven the
great Crosby is stumped for words,
as when he recited: "Why. hello,
Ned. your table is right over here.
Now what the hell is my next
line?"
