Allen fans were filled with pride Friday night, Oct. 8, when the Allen band performed between halves at the Allen-Weleetka football game at Weleetka. Each member of the band did his part well and the three majorettes, Mary Ann Gault. Arlena and Janie Bryant, twirled, turned and pranced like professionals. The director, J.

C. Kidwell, and the band were highly praised by the Weleetka band director who told Kidwell he had had the band there a year and they still couldn't march as well as the Allen band. He added that he had never seen better marching by any band. That is a compliment of which Allen can be proud, and one which we feel that Kidwell deserves. He has done wonders with youngsters that had never had a band instrument in their hands before to have them playing 30 soon.

It was a thrill the Allen fans won't forget soon to hear the band playing "Allen Will Shine Tonight," "Victory March," and "Easy Step March." We can be assured that the musicians will be even better prepared for the homecoming game here next week. ACA Announces Corn Support Prices According to A. M.

C. Ross have just returned from Grand Junction, where they went on a deer and bear hunting expedition. The two men were in a party that killed one of the largest bears ever killed in the area where they were hunting. The party left Grand Junction and went by pick-up as far as they could They then traveled on by jeep to the Uncompahgre plateau on the western slope of the Rocky mountains and on to the mouth of Blue Canyon. There the party dressed in bright red and surrounded a small area of the canyon and worked forward.

The large bear, startled by the men coming in from the opposite side, tried to make a break. It was then that a 21-year old boy in the party saw the huge animal and shot him through the head with his first shot. Not being able to determine if the rolliny bear was dead, ne fired another shot into the bear's head. The men skinned the bear and cut it into pieces. It took the entire party to carry the animal out in sacks after it had been cut up.

The hide, after it was properly stretched out, measured eight feet, ten inches from one front foot to the other. The Prescott packing company estimated the bear to weigh nearly 623 pounds. The hunters thrived on deer meet and each man killed his limit. Ross declared he had been in most of the 48 states but had never found a place that was more of a hunter's than at Blue Canyon. paradise, three hours get into the canyon and four hours to get out.

While it was beautiful, the local man did not have any desire to go there without a party. It was filled with nice fat deer, and bear tracks could be seen everywhere. The trees had their bark eaten off as far up as the big bears could reach and the small trees told the tale of cub bears climbing them because their branches had been eaten clean. There are other wild animals in the canyon but the men did not see them. When the men killed a deer, or in the case of the bear, they would leave it in the canyon overnight.

They returned the next day to carry it out. Ross said that after four o'clock, even if the sun were shining, it was very cold in the canyon so there was no danger of the meat spoiling.
