HC W TI » GOT '-TS CIRCUS Tim was born in Tur' eyvi lie, Vermont, At the age of ten, Tim ren a way from home to look for a job, but every tine he received the sqme answer, No, you pr-e too younv. Tim was wen discouraged, as he started to leave the circus. Then he heard someone behind him shout, Wait, It w s the manager. Tim got e job at the circus feeding the elephants, as .«jell as watering, them, i-.nd beddin.c them down. Tim worked at this job until he was eighteen. Then he was appointed to drive a trailer truck Toeded with two big elephants. The first time lim drove truck he realized how important he was to the circus. They ds 'ended on Tim to take the ele- phants from place to place, care for them when in need of atten- tion, and feed them. Tim wss always working with the mvae two elephants, and he grew to like them very much. As Tim grew older he realized that th elephants depended on hi'T to get them where they were supposed to go. One day Tim was driving toward Florida for the winter, when he blew a tire, causing him to go into a ditch. c?o one war hurt. Tim had to figure a way to get the truck out of the ditch. Then he remembered the two elephant.' in the beck. Tim unhooked the tail rate and led the two elephants to the front of the truck, where be hooked two hure chains to t e trr and to the elephants, ben Tim spoke to the elephants and the hu je chain befcpn to tighten,- the truck t e an to move out of the ditch; soon the truck was in the rc d. Tim 'fut the elenbrnts beck i to the truck, end fired t e tire. Soon im was on the road again. When Tim reached Florida he told the man'cer bus story, .gnd they lpuahed at the w-ry he pot the truck out of the ditch. Tim had done so well thatth 'manager put Tinnip charge of ell the other trucks. With ’’im in charae of everything the circus manager never worried about his animals, and His trucks. Tim used the ele- phants for other things elro, such a puttin. up the bia tents end to move heavy equipment. It was but a few years 10-ter that Tim final y nad his own circus. He hired actors from all over t,e country. Then for a few years Tim end his wife did the tra I ze act. One time the trsaeze broke and his wife was hurt very brr'ly. She w s taken to the hospital, where .she stayed for some time. She died there in the hospital, a month later. After that there w s not much left to keep Tim’s interest in the circus. Tim sold his circus, and enlisted in the service, where he is st?11 serving his country. Tim never ’forgot the tragedy that caused his wife's death.

MY FUMTTNG TF:I t 1c My cousin Bob and I were planning: a b nting trip during deer season. We were going to a camp in the southern part of Vermont. The cemo was owned by a firend of Bob's. We decided to leave on a Friday night. I was to pick Bob ap on ray way end we would stop end buy our food supplies in his town e c ulc drive right up to the camp, reaching there sbout midnight, sit was rather cold the first thing'we did was tc get wood ano start a fire. It must have been about two o'clock before we finally hit the sack. Of course we were anxious to get out early in the morn- ing for hunting So we were up et'five o'clock. After cooking and eating a food breakfast we were on our way. We headed straight into the woods and walked all mornin without s nc anything or anyone. We finally stooped and'ate a quick lunch; then we decided to bgeak up, agreeing that we would meet et the camp at five o'clock,. I wandered ail afternoon alone through the woods, seeing a few tracks but none of f e Real MjCcy'’. I returned to camp at five and started to ; et supper.. Five thirty came, supper was ready, but no Bob. Six o'clock came and still o Bob. I began t cet worried aid thought Bob tauat be lost or hurt. At six-thirty Bob dragged through the door. He said he had been following some tracks since two o'clock. Finally he got lost end that was why he was so late. Since we were both very tired we hit the sack early. At four o'clock that next morning we were up and in a hurry to get started, leaving the camp by five o1 clock. Bob thou ht the tracks he iu d seen toe day before looked like a deer run. so wo headed in th t direction. Eefore wc j.ot there we discovered more tracks but these were not deer tracks. Wc thou ht they looked like B.-AR tracks. -t the I i ie we really didn't think too much about it, but ust went walking, on. , en we hit the deer run we met two other fellows, who had s en deer anc were iust ahead of them. ,e decided that the four of would separate and see if we couldn't get at least one deer aa,onr us. We agreed to meet at the sane spot et four o'clock in the afternoon. T traveled all morning, seeing three doe and ' ne buck, but, of course, when I s’ ot et him I missed. I ate a few 'Sandwiches at noon and then traveled on. Finally I came to the top of a hill w ere I could see off for miles. I took mv field glasses and looked all around. I could see somethin which I thought was Bob off in the dustence. I watched and finally whatever it was went osck into the woods. The next thing I saw corain out of the woods anc1 into the clearing was a big black object It was too far off for me to makf
