BERLIN, Feb. 21.-Birds of many
a feather are nesting together at
Berlin's battered ZOO, which is wag-
ing it's own rigorous battle of the
winter in the midst of a sorely-
beset city.
The zoos surviving animals get a
regular ration of coal to warm their
cages-Which is more than German
humans get.
That's why attendance is usually
high now for winter months. Many
visitors come daily, pay their one
mark (ten cents admission and
then inger near the stoves in the
patched but heated buildings.
However, the fuel ration is small
and the ZOO has had to consolidate
and retrench during the protracted
cold of this seyerest winter in many
years. This has resulted in some
strange cage mates. The 20 sur
viving parrots (out of a prewar
total of between 200 and 300) are in
with the guinea pigs. The barn owls
are in with a fancy breed of chick
ems. A few rare tropical birds chat
ter their strange cries in cages
which also contain mute doves.
Other doves are in with the guinea
hens, and even the two proud pea
cocks must share their cage with
owls.
None of the zoos survivors seem
too happy on their reduced rations,
nor too warm. Only bear and
wolf, some sheep, deer and lone
goat survive. in outdoor pens. A
chimpanzee has a trick of wrapping
himself in a ragged coverlet, though
there's coal stove burning in the
reduced monkey house.
Extra guards have been placed in
the bird house to protect its inmates
against thievery. Some visitors come
with wire cutting tools, snip through
the cages and take home guinea
hen or porcupine for their frying
pans. A goat also was recently
stolen.

Addresses Whiteuiue
Rotary Club Members

WHITEVILLE, Oct. 5 - Rev.
Leon Russell, pastor of St. Paul
Methodist church in Goldsboro,
urged better relationship with
youth as the means of building
better men and women in an
address to the Whiteville
Rotary club Thursday evening.
The minister, making his sec
ond appearance here after de-
livering the baccalaureate adj
dress to the graduating class of
the local high school in June,
stressed the need for employers
to get acquainted with their
young employees, for men 20 be
a friend of youth and for ia
Tiers to devote themselves to the
interests of their children.
Rev. Mr. Russell paramount
ed the thought that "giving of
yourselves to youth is even
more important than giving of
your means"
Recalling the Biblical story of
the 1000 riderless horses, the
speaker declared that what
America needs today is riders
for the horses in the field of
youth service.
