Down in New York's Geological Park everything possible has been done to as- sure the immediate neighborhood of safe- ty in the event New York is bombed. Should there be any enemy raid with con- sequent damage to the Zoo and perhaps release of wild beasts trained employees know just what to do and will take prompt steps to protect the civilian popu- iation from the animals The system IS one that is designed not merely to. pro- tect people, but also the animals them- selves. There won't be promiscuous rorizing the countryside, because as 1t is now planned the raid will find the anil mals safely corraled in their own bomb proof cages of steel and concrete.

Selected Poem
BY A NORTHERN SEA


 (wilbert Snow in the New York Times The moisture in the salt sea air Tlnts verdure deeper in these woods Than Nature is disposed to share With lofty mountain solitudes. Here mIssel shells beneath the trees, Dark blue inlaid with pearl, reveal To what green-laden rookeries The crows and fish hawks nightly steal. Spruce limbs that withered in the grip Of northeast gales put on gray lace To match the colorS of ship Whose bones are whitening near this place Great mounds of clam shells Up the reach Tell where the Indian tribes of old Held festivals along the beach, And silhouetted evenings gold. Now motor boats disturb the bay With racking sounds that never cease To shout the passing of the day Of birch canoes and primal peace. The trees remain, the sea guils call, Bright lodges wait the rolling tides; Machines press closer and appail, But cannot ruin what abides.
