Fortier, geologist and Arctic ex-' plorer, aimed his camera, clicked the shutter and a 900- Bend polar bear dropped dead feet from where he stood. 'Dr. Fortier heaved a sigh of relief and quietly complimented the marksman standing imme- diately in front of him with a smoking .303-calibre rifle still in shooting position. This shattering experience was only one of many in the Arctic for Dr. Fortier who to- day received one of Canada's highest scientific awards. The 50-year-old Quebec-born geologist, chief of the geologi- cal survey of Canada's econo- mic geology division, was awarded the Royal Canadian Geographical Society's Massey Medal in recognition of his work focusing attention on the Arctic and its economic possi-| use of helicopters in the high Arctic for geological survey work, The dramtic incident with the polar bear occurred in 1950 on Cornwallis Island while Dr, Fortier was studying the geo- logy of the area with Trevor Harwood of the geophysical re- search section-of the defence re- search board and Dr, Raymond Thorsteinsson of the fuels and stratigraphy section of the geo- logical survey. One afternoon after they had pitched camp and caught a few Arctic char for supper, they walked along the beach study- ing the geology of the island. When they were several hun- dred feet from the camp they spotted a huge polar bear headed for the camp site, ob- viously attracted by the fish. "We realized that we were in a serious position," Dr. For- tier said, "The bear would not only eat the fish but rip our camp apart and probably wreck our canoe. Our only chance was to shoot the bear because there was no way of persuading it to go away." ENRAGED BEAR Mr, Harwood, the marksman, fired one shot which grazed the bear and succeeded only in en- raging the animal. It charged the three men and Mr. Harwood waited until the bear was 25 feet away before firing the fatal shot. As Mr. Harwood took aim, Dr. Fortier stood behind him and photographed the onrushing ani- mal. "T got a good picture but un- fortunately all the prints that were made and also the nega- tive have disappeared," Dr. Fortier said. everywhere with no luck." "We've searched Offer Cancer Cure Clues LONDON (Reuters) -- Dried lettuce leaves, sent from a west England village to the Univer- sity of British Columbia, are playing a part in the interna- tional battle against cancer, it is learned here. The leaves were sent to UBC | Professor Harry Warren, after lan unsuccessful investigation in \Britain into why 60 per cent of the people in the village of Stampford Spiney die of cancer, a figure 44 per cent higher than Britain's national average. Warren found that the lettuce contained large quantities of lead, sometimes as high as 250 parts per million, The British ministry of health's acceptable figure is two parts per million. Lead could be linked with high radioactivity, for it is formed when radium atoms break down ahd emit radiation. The granite rocks of Britain's west country have more radio- activity than those of most other DALLAS, Tex, (AP) -- Jack Ruby's murder trial goes into the second week today, opening a new round of bitter in-fight- ing between prosecution and de- fence over assembling a jury to decide his fate.

This assurance was given by Daniel Davie, Scottish busi- nessmn \ ho has offered £3,000 ($9,000) a year to finance the work, Naessens, who flew to Lon- don Saturday, met representa- tives of organizations interested in, his work. Agreement was reached to set up a group to pursue any treatment which might help sufferers from the blood cancer. "My serum has been proved valuable and myself proved a serious man," Naessens said. "Five hundred persons I have treated since 1949 are still alive," he added. Davie said he planned a na- tional appeal to aid Naessens. He said Naessens would con- tinue his work in Britain "no matter what happens in France." A number of British children, who were flown to Naessens' clinic in Corsica for anti-leu- kemia treatment, had to be re- turned to Britain when the French government banned the serum after French medical au- thorities said it was of '"'no value." News of his claims had caused a rush of mothers with sick children to Corsica. Farmer Slain In Homestead ST.
