Many a barefooted hiiiiiII boy has
felt tlutt he would be tho happiest
youngster on earth If only ho hud
a circuit till his own.

sylvania farm. Circuses came to
town seldom, und when they did
come Getz often didn't have
. enough money to go to them. Hut
lie vowed that some day he would
own one or at least own a lot of
wild animals.
And nuw. at Git. a innlff million
; nire, Getz has made his boyhood
dream come true.
' wn.s Ills Own Zoo '
He bus established his own prlv-
ale zoo on hiH beautiful "Lake-I

; was a youngster. I
And hi- keeps the pluec open to
Ihe put: tic. He even holds big
barbecues to give an added treat
Alo the people who come to sec, his
Collection. '
lie's doing it all to mitinfy the
yearning th.it tormented him when
Jie ivna a kid.
The zoo consists of ho mo 75 ani
mals. These range In size and kind
nil -the way from a pair of 24-foot
r python snakes up to an elephant. I
Scattered in between are a me- (
hinge o fltgers. a lion, varieties of

pony in the world and what not..-
G"tz loven his- animals. They
remind him of poor kids. He was
poor himself once and knows the
value of a little kindness.
And he loves people. Tlmts
why lie has his Informal parties
at wmcn ne nas red as many as
!-pO,0Q guests.
"fill Retting- ioo old to go to
other people's celebrations .1 want
them to come to mine instead," he
says.
He doesnt say much more, be

.Here's a slice of leal democracy out of a monarchy. The
gentleman being Juggled is none other than King Burls of Bul

over receiving their army commissions from the king. , , ;
cause his dream has come true.
When lie was a tad of 6 he went
to work on a farm near Median
icsburg, Vn He had to work hard.
He recalls when he first ;naw a
circus poster, depicting some of the
jungle . denizens, ' -
There whs a picture of tigers and
an elephunt on a crossroad sign
board.
"What are those?" Getz asked.
"I'll get some like- that to play
with." he said when they- told
him. .
But wages for n six-year-old 50
years ago were not sufficient even
for .the purchase, of the dog that
Getz craved, to suy nothing of a
grown tiger or elephant, . t ,
Then came ftfte turn , of fate,
Getz rose. Today he Is one of the
country's most influential .coal
