Bear and farmer lore in a Candlemas tale
Uncle Wiggily narrates a bear story linking Candlemas Day to food stores and winter prep. The tale shifts to a corn shucker in his cellar as Bunty and Jingle wonder about bears storing fat. A malfunctioning note about Iowa Electric Light and Power Company stockholders meeting appears, mentioning Cedar Rapids and a March 4, 1941 date.
