0 T 1 raditionally the great white hunter of darkest Africa has been an intrepid professional born to adventure and privation. Today, how ever," he is likely to be a vacationing druggist, mechanic, or farmer like Gordon Klemgard. Klemgard and his wife, Mabel, of Pullman, Wash., typify a new democratic era in big-game hunting. They found a flight to Nairobi, East Africa, took only a week, and that outfitting a modern safari cost no more than a European tour. Privation was also a thing of the past, thanks to jeeps, portable refrigerators, fresh linens, and ointments that repel all mosquitos except those of guided-missile size. The old-time thrills are unchanged, however, as Klemgard found when he bagged his first elephant. "Nobody's giving African safaris away," he concludes, "but they're not the maha raja vacations they used to be. And instead of coming home broke with only a bottle of per fume, you can console yourself with a pair of elephant tusks!" Klemgard's book about his safari, "A Million Miles with Mabel," has just been published. Vantage Press, 120 W. 31st St., New York. N.
