Mississippi celebrates
America’s love affair
with the teddy bear
ONWARD, Miss. (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.

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.
The new Census study reports that kindt:
garten enrollment for 1985 showed a sban
tump, rising from 3.5 million in 1984to3.8ni
lion. And “from 1980 to 1985, enrollmentpn
by one-half million students, or 17 percc:.
largely because the number of 5-year-oldsgrn

California serial killer
preying on transients
PROFESSORS EXAM FILES for F.nj{iii<xiin);. Glioni-
ism. Ciil<tilti*. 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.
