Arrests Ordered
For Feeding Of
Bears In Smokies
With the appearance of black
bears on the highways and in the
campgrounds of the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, the Na
tional Park Services has erected
large signs which warn park visit
ors "Avoid Injury and Fines ? Do
Not Feed the Bears."
These signs are at the three
major entrances, near Townsend,
Gatlinburg, and Cherokee. On
these signs the visitor will see a
figure denoting how many injur
ies occur after the signs are erect
ed at the opening of the "bear
season." Last year 18 persons
were injured, some seriously.
Superintendent Hummel has is
sued instructions to the rangers to
arrest persons who violate the
regulations prohobiting feeding or
molesting bears. *"
The National Park Service ad
vises visitors through signs, liter
ature. lectures, and other means
that bears are wild animals and
dangerous. Bears may look tame
but they are not. Visitors are
urged to obey the regulations. En
joy watching the bears but at a
safe distance. Though bears are
one of the park's most interesting
features, they sometimes become
dangerous when accustomed to
people.
Park officials have appealed to
local citizens around the park as
well as visitors to cooperate in the
campaign to observe the regula
tion prohibiting bear feeding.
