“KING OF THE GRIZZLIES” Continued from Page 14 and as far south as Mexico’s Chihuahua mountains. The last population survey in 1964 numbered them from 10,000 to 14,000 in British Columbia and the Yukon, 500 to 1,000 in the Alberta Rockies and 8,000 to 18,000 in Alaska. Yellowstone National Park claims 200 grizzlies, Glacier National Park registers 100, and among the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Washington State there are about 700. Mexico boasts 25. Seton spent most of his life trying to teach people about grizzlies through his many books. At thirty-seven his book “Wild Animals I Have Known,” which sold out ten editions in its first year, brought him fame. Some of his other popular works to follow were “Lives of the Hunted” and “The Biography of a Grizzly,” the source for the Disney picture. His writings made him wealthy and in middle life he was able to retire and concentrate on his naturalist pursuits, turning out a book a year by writing intensively for one month. Seton was educated in Toronto where he attended public schools and the Collegiate Institute. At nineteen he won a scholarship to study art at the Royal Academy School in London, but after two and a half years he suffered a physical collapse and returned to Canada. Following Seton’s four years in Manitoba he went to New York to start a career. Eventually an assignment from the Century Company to- do a thousand drawings for a dictionary saved him from starvation. When he was thirty he decided to study painting with the French masters and went off to Paris. Six years later he returned to New York and the job of animal story author-illustrator. He founded the Woodcraft Indians, later the Woodcraft Rangers, an organization that teaches children outdoor ways. In 1910 he was one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America CANCER BENEFIT - Annual Beau Belle Bal was staged this year in Grand Ballroom of Beverly Hilton Hotel.
