Orangutan hovr te swim? "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.
Coupla Owns Zoo
The experiment is taking
place at New Rochelle, N.Y.,
home of Miss Manecke and her
husband, Douglas L. Gruber, a
former advertising man. 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. Their All
tame Animals Agency, with of
fices in Manhattan and a zoo at
sub urban Hastings-On-Hudson,
supplies television shows, plus
fashion and advertising photog
raphers. "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.
Miss Manecke said they ac
quired "Bobo" from an animal
leader, who decided the orangu

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. Cover and chill
until barbecue time. Then drain,
remove and discard garlic and
serve the olives for before din
ner nibbling while steaks sizzle
on the grill.
Large Shopping
More Popular A
By MARY PRIME
United Pren Correspondent
New York (IB The giant
shopping center has become a
familiar landmark, and a fabu
lous one. It not only provides
shopping facilities for the en
tire family, but some centers
contain everything from medi
cal buildings and apartments to
zoos.
Between 50 and 80 shopping
cents in the nation are the large,
elaborate type, averaging 75
stoies each. More of this type
are being planned.
But one authority says their
future expansion is limited. S.
O. Kaylin, executive editor of
"Chain Store Age" said that
super-centers will be built only
in well-populated areas because
on,y large cities can support
them.
2.000 Now
Most centers are and will bS
of medium size, or about 30 to
50 stores.
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.
"Smaller centers may be
more practical and neighborly,"
Kaylin said, "but the large ones
often serve several purposes."
Foi instance, thousands of per
sons visit Detroit's Northland
