ZOO PROJECT is
w. P. A, FINANCED

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-By utiliz-
ing WPA funds the Columbus Zoo
logical Society is proceeding with the
development of its Zoo Park on the
Scioto River basin at O'Shaughnessy
Dam, in Delaware County. Already
the WPA has spent S186,358 on the
Columbus Zoo in buildings, and last
week dedicated new animal house
costing $4,000.
Local sponsors furnish twenty-five
per cent Of the cost of the projects,
and the maintenance, including cost Of
forage and personnel, falls upon the
city. Columbus now owes for it's $500
a month meat bills and forage for
the past three months and is carrying
this in it's deficit along with relief bills
in the hope that some plan will be de-
veloped for paying same.
In Cleveland Civic promoters are
trying to revive movement to put
the Cleveland Zoo on it's feet by seek
ing wealthy sponsor. Cleveland also
took advantage of WPA funds and
built monkey island" and a sea lion
house with WPA funds but they have
no sea lions because the city does not
feel justified in buying fish for sea
lions when human beings are suffer
ing for want Of food. One sea lion
will eat IS pounds Of fish day it is
said.

On February %, 1912, Abraham Lin
coin said Of our first President:
Washington is the mightiest name on
earth-long since mightiest in the
cause of civil liberty, still mightiest
in moral reformation. On that name
no eulogy is expected. 1t cannot be.
To add brightness to the sun or glory
to the name Of Washington is alike
impossible. Let none attempt it. In
solemn awe pronounce the name, and
in its naked deathless splendor leave
it shining on" 1t would be interesting
to hear Washington's opinion Of the
great Civil War President.
