BAG BLACK BEAR
AND FIVE DEER
While in the northern woods- last
week hunting fdr deer Bill Chambers,
aged 20, was surprised and—and—
well he was surprised • to see a
big black bear heading straight to
ward him. We can imagine that
Bill had a creepy feeling just about ■
that time. He had often heard
stories apd read about bears but to
see a. big black fellow weighing
about 400 pounds headed in your
di-redtioin—-that •' was . 'diifferent. .Efill
stoo’d his ground levelled his rifle
and bang! He was surprised to hear
two other shots fired in quick suc
cession. Mr. Bear, who’ was clam
ouring over a log at 'the time; slum])-'
ed over the log. As a proof of this
a big' black bear was strung up by a
rope in front of Southcott Bros.
Store all day Monday and was the
centre of attraction for many of the
community.
. On Saturday, , November 4th,
Messrs. Irwin Ford, Silas Reed, Chas
Salter, Calvert and Bill Chambers
left here' by auto with a two-wheel
ed trailer headed for North B'ay. At
Trout River they left the highway
for Port Loring on Wilson Lake and
after crossing the lake made about
a mile portage to the banks of Long
Lake where they secured a small
cabin in the woods. There were’ a
couple of camps near-by. Two days
were spent in the woods "with no re-,
suits save tired bodies and whetted
appetites and the
spent about the stove
ies.
The first excitement
nesday when Si Reed
morning plunge into the icy waters
of the lake. This was not a regular
part of the program. Si was stand
ing on a shelf rock and was in the
act of getting into a boat when his
foot slipped on' some ice. Throwing
out his right arm and holding his
rifle in his right hand he managed
to catch the side of the boat as he
plunged into the water which was
many feet deep at the spot. It was
back to camp to dry off for him.
■On Thursday the men at the three
camps had joined forces in their
hunt for deer. They formed up and
beat the bush in a V shape some
what similiar to the way in which a
jack-rabbit drive is conducted. Ford
was the first to bring down a deer.
He was losing no time to get to it
when his hat caught in some branch
es and he went on without it. On
his return he was searching for his
hat when he came upon a bear. With
only one shot in his -rifle he decided
not to shoot and the bear in run
ning away from Ford headed for
Chambers. ■ -Calvert Chambers and
their guide saw the bear about the
same time as Bill and the three
rifles barked in quick succession.
From the position of the bullet holes
it was decided that the bullet from
Bill’s' riffle had found a vital spot
through the head. The next job was
to get the deer and the bear back to
camp and it was no easy task.
On Friday the boys again went out
and this time they were exceedingly
lucky in bringing down four deer.
Leaving one with the guide the boys
left the following morning for
with the bear and tour -deer,
arrived here Sunday morning
but happy.

POLLEN—WESTCOTT
NUPTIALS
A quiet but pretty wedding took
place at the James nrreet United
Church parsonage Wednesday after
noon at 2,30 o’clock when Miss Mar
jorie May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
Geo. Westcott of Usvorne, was unit
ed .in marriage to Mr. William Har
vey pollen, son of Mrs. and the late
William Pollen, The ceremony was
performed' by Rev. H. Stainton, The
bridal couple were attended by Mr.
apd >Mrs. V. L. Roulston, of ,$jmcoe.
The bride looked very becoming, in a
dress of blue chiffon velvet with
grey coat and accessoiues to match.
She carried a bouquet of bridal roses
and lily of the valley. Following the
ceremony the bridal party. m°toreR to
the home of the bride’s parents
where a< lupcheon was served to
the immediate friends, Mr. and Mrs.
Pollen left on a motor trip to Toron
to and other places. Both aire popu
lar young people in this community
and will have the best wishes of
many friends for their future wel
fare. On their return they will re
side in Exeter.
NOMINATION NEXT WEEK
The ratepayers of Exeter will this
year select their municipal officers
one month earlier than has hereto
fore been the custom. Nominations
are less than two weeks away and
will be held on Monday, December
4th. It is hoped in this way that the
citizens will take a greater interest
in municipal matters than has been
done during the holiday season. The
various municipal bodies have all
curtailed their expenditures and
these together with the paying up of
some of he debenture debts has
enabled this year’s council to reduce
the tax rate from 4 c mills last year
to 3<0 mills this year, as the nomin
ation comes before the winding up
of the business for the year there will
be no printed financial statement to
place in the hands of the electors.
This will be a handicap both to the
members of the various bodies and
also to the aspirants for municipal
office as it has always been around
the financial statement that the
greater part of the discussions have
centered. We might have said at
times, hot and interesting. Up to
date we have heard of no new aspir-
! ants for municipal office. The mem
bers of the Board of Education
whose term of office expires this
year are, L. Day, W. H. Dearing and
F. Delbridge.
