Bock Stairs: Once-a-Year Hackings
By DAYTON MOORE
United Press Correspondent
Augusta, Ga. IP Back
stairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower's fa
vorite golf course the metic
ulously cared-for Augusta Na
tional will be subjected to
the hackings of 70 once-a-vear
duffers next Monday. The
11th annual Augusta Ptess
Radio Golf tournament will
be held there with all but a
score of the players admitted
hackers.
The tournament is one of
the few times that newsmen
get a chance to play the ex
clusive National. In 1954,
White House newsmen played
the course with a special in
vitation. But they were never
invited back. They concluded
HORNBROOK
Brown Bear Cub Captured
.By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN I Horse Creek grammar school
Hornbrook A miniature
- scene from the Old West was
reenacted in Hornbrook
. Thursday afternoon when a
, brown bear cub was captured
; on Cottonwood creek.
Charles and "Buck" Spear
in, cleaning a ditch on the
latter's ranch, noticed what
appeared to be a dog curled
up near-by. A pebble tossed
in his direction roused the
"critter," and the "dog" be
came a bear cub. Apparently
having emerged not too long
before from his long winter
nap, the little fellow was I
sleeping in the sunshine on
the bank of the creek. Buck
shouted "Get him!" to his dog,
Trixie. Trivie, a McNab shep
herd, learned that, although
small, the cub was full of
fight. With one swift swipe of
a fore-paw, he sent Trixie
reeling backwards head over
heels down the bank. She was
on her feet in a flash, and
soon had the bear treed, and
held him there until Buck's
son A. W. Jr. (Punky) Spearin
arrived with Johnny Sylva.
Johnny climbed the tree and
sawed off the limb" the bear
was on, but instantly when
his feet touched the ground,
he was off again and up an
other tree, with Trixie hot
on his heels. By this time,
quite a crowd of relatives and
neighbors had collected at the
scene.
With a snare rigged up on
a pole, and the combined help
and "kibitzing" of the onlook
ers, the men were able to dis
lodge him from his perch on
the tree. Later. Punk's cousin,
Jim Spearin, arrived to lend
a hand, and the little beast,
still showing plenty of fight,
was finally subdued enough
to be put in a pick-up and
brought in to Punky Spearin's
ranch, where he was staked
out overnight.
His weight was estimated
at 50 pounds, tho he appeared
larger, as he was still wear
ing his heavy winter coat. Al
Kutsky, a local taxidermist,
placed his age at approximate
ly four months. Fqr the short
time he was staked out, he
was the center of attention of
adults and chilldren alike.
Enroute to school Friday
morning, Louie Freitas pulled
up at the Spearen ranch so
that all the school children
could get out and see him. For
most of them, this was the
first time they had seen a
bear outside a zoo.
Neither the Ashland nor
Kamath Falls zoos were in
terested in acquiring him, ac
cording to Mrs. Spearin, so he
was turned over Friday morn
ing to "Cactus" Bryson, Siski
you County Game 'Warden,
who will make further at
tempt to place him in a zoo.
Failing this, he will take him
back to the woods and Jurn
him loose. Buck Spearin, who
has been heard to say. many
times that "he would give his
: right arm to be able to shoot
' bear," was asked why he
didn't shoot this one. "Aw,"
said Buck, "he was too cute!"
teams. The Hornbrook boys
won 5 to 3, but the girls lost
by a score of 10-8.
At the regular meeting of
the Parents club at the school
house on Thursday, the fol
lowing officers were elected:
president, Norma Farmer;
vice president, Lorraine Chad
wick; secretary, Pat Watt;
treasurer, Betty Cross; and
parliamentarian, Elsie Hogan.
The club is working at pres

on graduation exercises.
Word was received here
recently by Mrs. Martha Col
lister of the birth of a son to
her granddaughter, M r s.
Richard Nix, at Canyonville,
Ore. Mrs. Nix is the former
Gail Seymour. The arrival of
the baby makes Mrs. Collis

the first time.

that they had been too rough
on the course.
They were puzzled that the
local duffers were asked back
year after year. However, the
explanation was simple. The
course is closed for a sum
mer's reconditioning immedi
ately after the newsmen's
tournament.
Officials of the National
readily accepted a suggestion
for the local newsmen's tour
nament and volunteered to
throw in a luncheon and beer.
But they balked on a title of
"The Little Masters" tourna
ment. The President's former cad
dy, Cemetery Perteet, turned
out to get a glimpse of the
chief executive as he rode
through the entrance gates to
the Augusta National Friday.
The aged Negro, who had
been the Presidents steady
caddy here from 1952, was
let out about a year ago by
the club pro on the grounds
that he had become "too old
and decrepit."
Newsmen were on the alert
before the President's arrival
here Friday for a demonstra
tion against his economic poll
cies. An anonymous caller to
the local newspaper office
said that there would be
demonstration at the airport
to show what was thought
about the way he was han

However, it didn't material
ize. The only local show of
the afternoon was a Confeder
ate Memorial Day parade
which the President did not
see.

hold its first annual dinner
May 24 since 1924 without the

of the annual dinner was to
honor the President and it
was called off last year when
President Eisenhower said he
would be unable to attend.
However, the correspond
ents decided to go ahead this
year even though the Presi
dent made known he would
pass up all such press func

Former President Truman
may attend, however. Both he
and former President Hoover
were invited. Hoover, who re

How Standard uses earnings
f '
to back its faith in the future
The. U. S. will need as much oil in the next 15 years
as' it produced in the past century. To locate new
sources of oil and develop known fields, we invested
$280,915,466 last year..... . drilled 968 new wells, of
which 176 were dry holes.
Economic progress doesn't just happen. It must begin with confident,
long-range planning to meet the challenge of the future.
As we see it, this is the challenge: By 1968 the U. S. will have 202,000,000
people . .'. 17 more than today.. To sustain this growing population while
raising the standard of living, the nation will require 40 more good
and services.
That's why last year Standard invested more than ever to help provide the
future products for you and for the security of our country . . . and Standard
will continue to invest, providing jobs and opportunities that can lead to a
more abundant life for our nation and its people in the space age ahead.
To help transport more oil and finished products in
the future. Standard has placed orders for $148,368,510
worth of new facilities, including 10 supertankers,
greater pipeline capacity and additions to our fleet
of trucks'and trailers. V
Research helps create' new products . . . and new
jobs. During 1957 we had 1400 full-time employees in
research and technical services alone. As a result of
continuing .research we "now make more than 1,000
products that were not marketed 15 years ago.
1 3f58 !
While most of Standard's Income went back into
the business, our 148,315 stockholders received about
Ac for each dollar of stock investment at market value.
Dividends encourage future investments, helping all
business to expand and improve service.
Again last year Standard was one of the West's
largest customers. Our purchases included 50,000
items . . . helped provide employment and payrolls
for more than 10,000 large and small business firms
in hundreds of Western communities.
Through affiliates we also helped advance progress
in more than 70 friendly Eastern Hemisphere coun
tries. Oil development helps local business, provides
employment and supplies funds for education, health
and housing.
