(AP) — It’s been 84 years since President Teddy Roosevelt refused to kill a captive bear in the Mississippi Delta, and a celebration is planned to commem orate the event that launched Amer ica’s love affair with the teddy bear. “There are a lot of people who care about this history,” said Sandra Desmond of Greenville, organizer of the first Bear Hunt Reunion. “I’m thrilled that something like this is fi nally coming together.” The reunion will celebrate a leg endary bear hunt that took place Nov. 14, 1902, on the banks of the Little Sunflower River in the Delta National Forest north of Vicksburg. Roosevelt’s guide, Holt Collier of Greenville, roped a 235-pound black bear for him, but the president re fused to shoot a captive animal. Word of Roosevelt’s compassion and sportsmanship spread quickly and, two days later, Washington Post cartoonist Clifford Berryman illus trated the event and coined the teddy bear name. According to legend, a Brooklyn, N.Y., couple began selling teddy bears after seeing the cartoon, and the rest is history. But Mississippi has never officially celebrated its place in teddy bear lore. Desmond, a transplanted Califor nian, decided to commemorate the event with what she hopes will be come an annual trek to the Delta. Activities during the weekend of Nov. 14-16 will be centered here at the Onward Store, where Missis sippi-made teddies are sold and ex hibits illustrate the great hunt. The weekend will be kicked off with the unveiling of a historical marker, purchased with $900 in do nations from businesses and private citizens, she said. Slouch By Jim Earle “We’ve had a hard week.

Elementary decline to be reversed Pre-school enrollment sets record WASHINGTON (AP) — Enrollment in kin dergarten and nursery schools is at record levels as the number of births edges upward, a trend that Census Bureau officials say will shortly re verse the long-term decline in elementary school enrollment. “In 1985 there were more children attending pre-primary school than ever before,” including 2.5 million tots in nursery school and 3.8 million in kindergarten, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. “Parents are enrolling their children at earlier ages for the educational benefits,” explained stat istician Rosalind Bruno of the Census Bureau. “Some people keep dismissing it as day care, but it isn’t,” added Bruno, author of the study. “The increase occurs among children of non working mothers as much or more than among those of working mothers. And most nursery school is part-day, and that’s not day care.” “The increase in kindergarten and nursery school enrollment in the 1980s because of in creased population indicates an imminent rever sal of the long-term trend of decline in elemen tary school enrollment,” she wrote in the Bureau’s annual report on school enrollment. Enrollment in pre-schools has grown signifi cantly since 1965, even in the face of the so-called Baby Bust, when birth rates declined sharply. The low number of births in the 1960s and 1970s was balanced by a rapidly increasing share of children who were sent to nursery school and kindergarten. And since 1980 an increase in the number of births has added to that trend, helping boost en rollment to the current record levels. Thus, local systems which closed schools in the face of declining enrollments could lie faced with a shortage of teachers and classrooms in the next few years. The increase in births in recent years is not an other Baby Boom, statisticians stress, since the birth tate has not increased. Instead, it is kb they call an echo of the Baby Boom of the 195ft and 1960s, the result of all those children not moving into their own prime childbearing yean The baby boomers can produce large numb of offspring even at low birth rates simplvke cause there are so many of them. For example, last year there were a reconi 3,749,000 babies born in the United States,ami in 1984 the number was 3,697,000, accordinji: the National Center for Health Statistics t:; fertility rate of 15.7 births per 1,000 peoples the same for both years ana well below theM) of the 1950s.

I’livsus at Univoisitv Bookstore X: Loii- pnl'Y 3(1174 LOS ANGELES (AP) — A serial killer apparently has begun to prey late at night on drifters and other lone men on streets throughout the city in a fast-developing case that one detective says has victims “pop ping up all over the place.’’ Homicide detectives were trying to determine whether two more bod ies found Monday — including the brother of All-Pro football great James Lofton — might be the work of the same person tentatively tied to nine other killings, police Lt. Dan Cooke said. It is the second spate of serial kill ings to hit Los Angeles recently. The first killer, the so-called “Southside Slayer” who also remains at large, has been targeting prostitutes in south-central Los Angeles. There is no apparent connection between the crime sprees which, to gether, have taken the lives of more than two dozen people, Cooke said. One notable difference between the two serial killers is the rate of the deaths. The 17 Southside Slayer murders began just over three years ago and have been sporadic, with some killings separated by months of inactivity. However, in the latest outbreak, the nine killings have all occurred in the past six weeks, beginning Sept. 4. Lt. John Zorn, a 39-year-old de tective who is in charge of both in vestigations, said, “Victims have started popping up all over the place. This is a case that’s developing quickly.” While five of the victims in the lat est series appear to be drifters, Cooke said four others, including a vacationer from Texas, cannot be classified as transients. Shrimp (Continued from page 1) tions are affecting others," he says. “Man has to nave some re spect for other living beings.” Rayburn says there is a certain amount of concern among shrimpers about saving the en dangered sea turtles being caught. He says that over the past 10 years Texas shrimpers have been informed through educatio nal programs of the proper meth ods of resuscitating turtles that accidentally are caught. “In most cases, these educatio nal programs have been success ful,” Rayburn says. However, because the Kemp’s ridley sea turtle is listed as an en dangered species, some shrimp ers probably avoid dealing with the turtles any more than net essary, Rayburn says. Kemp’srid- ley sea turtles are proteettd by the Endangered Spedes Ad which provides that anyone tail ing, killing, injuring or harassing sea turtles is subject to arrest. The penalty for violating that law is a five-year prison sentence and/or a $20,000 fine. La si January, CEE, along wilt other conservation groups and the L.S. Fish and Wildlife Sen ice, asked NMFS and theGulfoi Mexico Fishery Managemen; Council to make use of TED) mandatory by early 1987. CEE claims that voluntary use of TEDs has not been sufficien; to counter the problem of the de- < lining number of turtles.
