"Cer tainly," said pretty Ruth Ma necke. "If we o, he will be the only one naturalists know of who has learned." Miss Manecke, who lives in a happy world peopled with ani mals, is giving swimming les sons to a red-haired orangutan named Bobo.. Bobo, who is three years old and weighs 40 pounds, has advanced to the rubber raft an '-paddle-himself stage, she said. Next step will be putting him into the pool with life pre server on. Miss Manecke, 28, explained that gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees, unlike most other animals, don't swim instinctive ly. If put in water too deep for wading, they just go down and stay.

The couple owns a private zoo, equipped with everything from cats to kinkajous. If you've watched Captain Kangaroo on television, you probably have seen some of the Gruber menagerie.

"The animals are tame, but not trained to do tricks," said Miss Manecke, who uses her maiden name in business. "Most of them we've reared ourselves. But we will round up talent we don't own, on call." The couple has supplied kangaroos, llamas, parrots, sea lions, mynah birds, and even cheetahs. Animel Wagek Good Animal wages are pretty good, but the rate depends on the rar ity of the animal and the hours it works. Some top talent earns $100 an hour, she said.

Public Votes On Pictures During Fair Eighteen members of South ern Oregon Society of Artists exhibited pictures at the annual Greenwich Village- fair last Sunday. A total of 164 pictures were on display; the majority were oil paintings with pen and ink and water colors being well represented. The public was invited to vote on favorite pictures and asked to list first choice in each medium instead of voting for only one choice as in the past. The resulting votes tied Mrs. Lou Wilson and Mrs. Alta Kelly, both Central Point, for first place in the oil paintings. Mrs. Wilson's picture, "Portrait of a Deer," snowed a deer in a forest glade, and Mrs. Kelly's picture was "Rock Point Bridge." In the pen and ink exhibit by John Eyerly of Grants Pass, the drawing entitled, "Old Homestead Cabin," took first place and "Fish Boats," another pen and ink placed second. This showed fishing boats in the har bor on the Oregon coast. In the water colors, first place went to "Good Friends," a pic ture of a child and a horse by Mrs. Blanche Johnson of Cen tral Point and second place was given to the picture called "Jenny Butte," by Mr. Eyerly. Clifford Platz exhibited 13 oil paintings which were not in competition with the other pictures, and these paintings drew many favorable comments from the visitors. Both Mr. Platz and Mr. Eyerly brought mate rials and . worked during the show. Mrs. Elizabeth Sheffield, Rogue River, made colorful berets which she gave to the artists to wear during the day. Attend ance was said to be good, and surprise was voiced at the num ber of artists in Southern Ore gon. Open a can of ripe olives early in the day, and drop in a peeled clove of garlic.

There are about 2,000 shopping centers of all sizes in operation now. At least 2,500 more are be ing planned or built. About 400 of these are expected to be fin ished by the end of the year, Kaylin said, and the rest in two or three years.
