Laughing At Park Bears Is Dangerous The story of the Three Bears la nothing compared to the Indignant story of one bear a Klamath Palls bear told by a Medford couple, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Thompson. The Thompsons spent a day re cently at Moore park, en.io.ving a picnic lunch and the park a rec reation facilities. A walk up to the animal cages was the start of their troubles. They laughed at the bears an tics until the animal, perhaps of fended, leaped into his pond, drenching his visitors with dirty wster. This bear story was told In a let ter to Chamber of Commerce Man ager Charlea Stark with a footnote that it be turned over to the prop er authorities. Stark obliged by giving It to Mayor Robert Thomp son and the city council. Mrs. Thompson thinks a sign warning visitors of the bears wa ter splashing traits should be post ed near his case and what s more, she will be giad to send the city a duplicate of her cleaning bill.

Kite Flying Can Be Dangerous NEW YORK c;P Its easier for today's kite-flying youngsters to draw electricity down a kite string than when Benjamin Franklin made his discoveries.

Jonea says that if a kite comes Into contact with power lines which were non-existent In Franklin's day It may conduct enough electricity to cause serious accidents. He warns against using thin wire or wire-threaded cord for a kite. It wet, ordinary string or cord will also conduct electricity, he -says.
