GOLD HILL
Bear Raids Food Cache
By MRS. CLYDE KELL
Gold Hill Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Gray of Sardine

Hill, returned to their camp
site Sunday evening, Aug. 3,
beside the Blue lake in Blue
canyon after a day of hiking
to various lakes in the area
to fish, and discovered that a
bear had ransacked their
camp.
The intruder had eaten the
potato salad, bacon, eggs,
bread, butter and jam, that
they had planned to have for
their dinner, before starting
the two and a half mile hike
out of the canyon to where
their car was parked.
Mrs. Gray said that appar
ently the bear didn't like the
flavor of cucumbers because
he had taken one bite and left
the remaining portion, along
with jars of peanut butter
and instant coffee of which
the lids were removed and
the contents of both jars were
full of dirt.
Besides raiding the sup
plies and eating all other
food, the bear, dragged - the
bedroles, clothing and knap
sacks some distance from
where they had been placed
earlier in the day.
The night before, the Grays
were awakened to find a
deer eating a loaf of bread,
which the animal had found
while snooping in their camp
as they slept.

U.S. Navy Blimp Sets
Arctic Record, Too
Washington (UPD A U.S.
Navy blimp was on its way to
a floating island less than 500
miles from the North Pole
yesterday after penetrating
deeper into the Arctic than
any non-rigid aircraft ever
had before.
The orange-and-silver blimp
landed Friday at Resolute bay
land, within the Arctic circle.
It had soared 1,000 miles in
22 hours with the help of a
10-mile-an-hour tail wind.
Its next scheduled stop was
T3, a floating island manned
by scientists as part of the In
ternational Geophysical Year.
SMALL CHANGE
Plainville, Conn. (UPD
A boy handed a dime to Nor
ton Park concessionaire Bar
nett Sneideman, ordered a
seven-cent ice cream cone and
said, "I'll take my change in
pennies please."
Explorer Soft-Pedals
Submarine's Feat
Hanover, N.H. (UPD Arc
tic Explorer Viljjalmur Stef-
ansson says the Arctic ice cap
voyage of the atomic subma
rine Nautilus could have been
done "a long time ago in a
conventional submarine."
Stefansson, now 79 and
founder of the world's largest
polar library at Dartmouth
college, said the Navy want
ed, however, the dependabil
ity of atomic power and
"needed a practical reason"
for the trip.
"We Americans," he added,
"are very conservative-minded
people. We are not ice-
minded."
He said the next job is for
the Navy to find some way to
surface between the two
points of the trip within
1,000 missile miles of Russia
instead of 5,000 miles.
Biggest Sub Ever
Constructed is
Due for Launching
Groton, Conn. (UPD The
biggest submarine ever built,
the atomic-powered USS Tri
ton, will be launched here
Aug. 19 within a stone's
throw of .the ways from which
the USS Nautilus slid into
the Thames river in January,
1954.
She will be the eighth nu
clear submarine launched by
this country. Eleven more are
under construction and seven
more are authorized.
Compared to the 319-foot,
3,200-ten Nautilus, the Triton
will be 447 feet long, with a
displacement of 5,900 tons. It
will be the first submarine
with two nuclear reactors.
They will be water-cooled,
the same type which propels
the Nautilus and USS Skate,
but of more modern design.
Triton, which must go off
the ways with part of its su
perstructure incomplete be
cause of its enormous size, it
a radar-picket sub which will
serve as a "private eye" for
the U. S. surface and under
sea fleet.
She was built by the Elec
tric Boat Division of General
Dynamics Corp., which con
structed the only three A
boats now in operation.
On two other ways adjacent
to where the Triton now is
perched are hulls of Polaris
missile submarines which will
be capable of hurling lethal
shots with a 1,500-mile range.
At another section of the
Electric Boat shipyard work
men are constructing still an
other A-boat, the USS Tulli
bee which is designed as a
killer submarine to track
down and destroy enemy submarines.
The Triton, when she is out
fitted and after ' completing
sea trials, will join the coun
try's First Atomic Submarine
division which was created
here this past June. It is com
manded by Capt. Eugene P.
Wilkinson, the first skipper of
the Nautilus.
Now operating in this divi
sion are Nautilus, Seawold
and Skite. The revolutionary
aquabatic Skipjack, launched
May 26, will be a part of the
division when it finishes sea
trials and is accepted. So will
the Tullibee and the two Po
laris missile boats, which
should be in the water some
time next year.
Voyage of Nautilus Compared to Sputniks
London (UPD The Daily
Telegraph said yesterday the
Nautilus's voyage under the
North Pole was technological
ly on a par with Russia's Sput
niks and in terms of human
dating, a greater achieve
ment. "No sailor will doubt that
the feat of the Nautilus is the
American answer to the So
viet Sputnik," the Telegraph
said. "Not only in technical
achievement , and in promise
of development are the two
comparable; as an act of dar
ing courage and personal
achievement, the feat of the
submarine crew is the greater."
D. D. S. TO MRS. -
Faith, S. D. (UPD Dr. Mar
cella Heller, the only woman
dentist in South Dakota, has
forsaken her profession for
the kitchen. She closed her
office here and went to Chi
cago to marry.

OVER THE BARREL
New York (UPD Petroleum
Week says oil companies are'
n't enchanted one bit when
they hear native drums rum
ble in South Africa. The
drums are usually empty oil
barrels worth from $9 to $15
apiece.
Petroleum Week said the
natives also use the barrels
for armchairs, bathtubs, wash
tubs, storage tanks, showers,
roofs and even drainage cul
verts. Approximately 750,000
barrels have been written off
as lost forever.
