PAUL, Nov.

17-year, old high school boy who killed three bears with five shots from a 30-30 said he "didn't have time to get scared" when the animals charged him. "But when all the shooting was over, boy that's when I got scared," said John Bradshaw, Jr. Steacly nerves' and accurate shooting saved the young woodsman when he accidently slipped into the den of three bears while deer hunting near Danbury, Wis, He said he was hunting alone when he tried to jump what he thought was a small hole, but instead stumbled and. landed on something soft. A 475-pound bear came roaring and clawing out of the whole behind him, John said.

One swipe of the bear's paw rippled a hole in-his hunting 1 coat and tore oft an overshoe. "I flipped the safety off my rifle and swung around," he said. "The bear so close I could see right into its mouth." He fired one shot into the animal's mouth and dropped it in its- tracks right at his feet. The boy said he leaned his rifle against a log and sat down to rest. A second infuriated bear came roaring in from, his right side.

"I grabbed my rifle and started firing," he said. "I hit her once in the chest and once in the head. The last shot stopped her." "I was standing there trying to get my breath when another one came tearing at me through the brush," he said. The boy instinctively ducked and the momentum of the bear's 'charge carried the huge animal on past him. As the bear stopped turned, the youth shot it twice the head, killing it almost instantly, John said.

"Mother said my guardian angel, must have been with me. And I guess he was but I'm sure I glad I had my 30-80 along," he 'said. The total weight of the bears 'came to 1,075 pounds.

INCREASES IN LIFE SPAN DEPENDS ON REDUCTIONS FROM CHRONIC CONDITION Further increases in the average length of life in the United States depend largely upon the reduction or postponement of deaths from the chronic conditions, especially, the diseases of the circulatory system and cancer, ac cording to a life insurance company statisticians. By contrast, the 19-year gain in the average length of life over the past 50 years can be attributed for the most part to reduction in mortality from the infectious diseases--notably pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, and the communicable diseases of childhood, The complete elimination of the heart and blood vessel diseases as death would increase the expectation of life at birth almost 10 years for men and nine years, for women. And the elimination of concer would add almost two years for men and two and one-half years for women. "It is, of course, unrealistic. to talk of wiping out the cardiovascular-renal diseases," the statisticians point "yet it should be remembered that they are responsible for more than 200,000 deaths a year under age 65..

If most of these deaths could be postponed until later yeai's, the expectation of life would be increased appreciably." Among men, as many years would be added, to life by eliminating accidents as by eliminating cancer, although the mortality rate from cancer is considerably higher. The explanation is that a larger proportion, of accidental deaths occur at the younger ages, and hence the average number of years saved by eliminating accidents would be greater.
