(Spl) A recent letter from Preston Card, Jacksonville boy who graduates December 1 from the mechanics-woodworkers school at the naval station in Norfolk, Va., tells of an interesting trip made by a group of navy boys At Newport News he saw the great shipbuilding- yard in which the "America," largest ship ever planned in this coun try, is under construction. Next, the group visited the Mariners' museum, near town, where models of boats from the earliest type to the present liners are on display along with navigat ing instruments, firearms, fig ureheads, pictures and some parts of the ship "Bounty," of mutiny fame. Williamsburg was then vis ited, the group inspecting the oldest academy building in America and also one of the Rockefeller homes. Rockefeller is spending some $13,000,000 in restoring Williamsburg to its colonial day appearance. Much of the restoration has been com pleted, according to Card's let ter. The navy boys then visited Yorktown, scene of the revolu tionary battle between Corn wallis and Washington. Trenches and breastworks have been re built, the old cannon are in place, and the house which Cornwallis used as headquarters still stands with a cannon ball imbedded in one wall. The old est house in Yorktown, dating back to 1600, still stands. It is of brick, as are most of the others in the ancient city. Langlcy Field, big army air base, was next visited by the navy boys who saw one of the huge bombers, termed a "flying iortrcss," and so large there was no hangar capable of shelter ing it. Next stop was at Hampton where the boys viewed the old- Albert Ballc, Eugene, driving Just behind him, became con fused by a large bus he was meeting and una i idably struck the cyclist. He died before he could be treated at a hospital, est public school in America. From there they went to Fort Monroe where President Davis was imprisoned for two years after the Civil war. Returning to the Norfolk sta tion the boys saw a beautiful sunset from their ferry, the golden colors tinting part of the fleet and some old freighters mchored in the distance. The scene, according to Card's letter, was much like those filmed by James A. Fitzpatrick for his travelogues seen In the picture shows. Hopes of a Christmas at home were shattered for the Jackson ville boy when he was chosen from his graduating class to be student instructor for the next class, concluding January 28.

Isaacs, of Jackson ville highway, recently disclosed the following adventure with bears, experienced by her son, LeRoy Isaacs, 15-year-old Med ford high school student. LeRoy, his father, R. L. Isaacs, and uncle, G. D. Isaacs, were hunting soon after opening of the deer season, and the young ster had been stationed on a ledge of rock as a "lookout." According to Mrs. Isaacs, her son, who is rather small for his age, was quietly meditating on how he would bring down a deer should one appear at close enough range, when he suddenly heard a rustling of leaves and saw a mother bear and her cub emerge from the brush. The pair stopped directly in front of him. ' As the season wasn't open on bears in Jackson county LeRoy didn't dare shoot. And to add to the predicament he immedi ately suffered a nauseating at tack of buck fever, that strange malady which smites hunters, both old and young. Realizing that something must be done quickly as a bear with a cub is extremely belligerent, tne Doy managed to get his tongue unglued from the roof of his mouth and give voice to a series of yells which would have done credit to a Comanche Indian. The bears, apparently much frightened by the noise, turned tail and scampered down the mountainside. LeRoy, though sorry he could ; not bag the brutes, felt lucky to have escaped an attack by) the mother bear.
