So what could be said when a curious raccoon decided to take his own picture? Or, an uncoop erative monkey wrapped himself in arms, lees end tail until I hid the camera? Or, a 400-pound brute of a bear leaped two feet in the air with fangs bared into the lens?' Well, what you say can't be printed; and when Barney Bear has a look of photog-smorgasbord in his eye, there aren't words to describe that "100 per cent pure jelly" feeling in your knees. Later, the park keeper, Darrel Johns, said "Barney wasnt real ly mad, he Just wanted to play." Mavbe he was playing, but it sure looked like he was making his own rules. Next, the "wash-lt-and-tear-it. fnre-vou-eat-K" boys, a pair of rambunctious raccoon, came un der the uneriing eye of the cam era. ' The old animal cages at Moore Park Zoo, which are now In the process of being replaced, are not the world's greatest place for taking pictures without flash at tachments. Nevertheless, preferring the nat ural light shot where possible, I was taking careful readings and taring intently into the view- finder in an attempt to focus on the romping coons. Suddenly, a damp little paw came through the wire screen and at the same mo- Iff a: m - w "I GET MODELING FEES FOR THIS" Our spider mon key friend was extremely adamant about something whan wa tried to take this picture.

Girls Lead In Battle Of Sexes CHICAGO (UPI) "No lntelli- gent employer will, turn away t needed mathematician because she Is a woman. And no profession whose prac titioners are working themselves to death because of a lack of qualified help will close the door of opportunity to woman. The woman who made these statements Is one who worked htr way into the. executive suite. She is Mrs. Esther Peterson, Assist- ant Secretary of Labor. Mrs. Peterson acknowledged that the road to employment op portunities for many women still is studded with barricades left lover from the days when women wcro believed interested in work Ins only for pin money. "Most women work neither fori pin money nor for diamond brooches, she said recently the annual meeting of the Nation al Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. Mrs. Peterson told tlie women You who have already ar rived in your fields, and often had to overcome 19th century la boos to do so, should encourage able young women to follow in your pioneering footsteps now that you have in the manner of good King wenceslas blazed the trail She said it will require the achievement of full employment in an expanding American econ omy to reach the point where job discriminations against women and all other groups In the popula tion will be eliminated ultimately. "It is up 'o all of us," she said, "to do our utmost to make it pos sible for the American economy to find room for every worker who wants and needs a job." ment. a furry face loomed up in the lens. A "click" sound fol lowed, and Mr. Coon had taken his own picture. In the process, he had thor oughly pawed the camera's lens, with his little garbage-strewn hand. Picking lettuce and pieces of cantaloupe off the magic box, I dedicated his soul to everlasting torment. , The coon problem, however, was eventually solved in the manner plainly illustrated on these pages. But the photographic favorite was a little guy by tne name ot Coati Mundi. ' He has a snout that only a mother could love and eyes that, convey all the suffering of the ages. About the size of a house cat, in fact the coati (ko-a-tee) is kept as a pet by some families in his native area of Mexico and south ern Arizona. He's known as an even tempered vegetarian, feed ing occasionally on lower forms of i animal life such as worms and snails. He's such 'a congenial fellow that zoo plans in the near future call for one. of Moore Park's lat est additions, a deodorized skunk, to be housed with him. BLUE MUNDI Seemingly unhappy, tha coati mundi at Moora Park Zoo paces high in the cage. Most of his day is spent walking a timber near the top, back and forth, back and forth. They have bean used as house pets in some Mexican homes. Young Women Watch Watches NEW YORK (UPD-Who says women never are on time.' An analysis of gift items re ceived by 100 high school seniors girls showed that young wom en, at least, have a reason to be prompt. Jeweled watches- were the num ber-one gift. Other most popular presents included typewriters, ra dios, handbags, fountain pens, and jewelry. The survey was conducted for a watch maker (BulovaK PAUL WINCHELL MARRIES HARR1SBURG, Pa. (UPH- Tclevision ventriloquist Paul Win- chell and actress Nina Russell were married in the Dauphin County courthouse Thursday. Winchell, 38, told reporters he met his 30-year old wife on his television show. The marriage was the second for each. Checkers, a monkey4ype, was next on the list, so the unfailing camera was thrust to the wire in a mad attempt to photograph him. .Later, we learned he had been taught to beg by rolling himself in a tight little ball, occasionally peeping out with black eyes from between his tiny fingers. At the time, however, he just appeared to be a noncooperative simian. We didn't use the picture be cause who wants to look at a hairy beach ball? As the afternoon wore on, it be came clear we were going to en counter difficulty in writing a sto ry about this afternoon in the ani mal kingdom. One couldn't do justice to the stories of each of the cages and their occupants. We'll ask, instead, that you view the accompanying photographs, then take a Sunday afternoon drive to the zoo; animals toil their own stories better than we could anyway.

Here we caught him with the snout only a moth er could love buried in a bowl full of cantaloupe. His nose can be stiffened or bent as he so desires; in this respect he is unique in the animal kingdom . . . it's called full nose control. FREE!-Win a Bra and Girdle Daily During Our-FREE!
