...last week a trailer truck backed up to the Aquarium, rumbled away with 1,000 fish for the Marine Park Aquarium in Boston. A six-foot green moray refused to go, hid under a rock for an hour until a keeper warily prodded him out. Another 2,000 fish left for aquariums in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington. The sea lions now rest uneasily in the lions' house at The Bronx Zoo, where some 4,000 smaller fish and reptiles will join them. They will live in the Zoo until a new Aquarium is built at Coney Island. Another...
Catholic missionaries are making effective use of trailer chapels with living quarters and kitchens for the priests who man them and with a permanent altar opening in back for open-air services (see cut, p. 50).

In each hamlet visited they show a religious movie, give a talk, answer questions asked by their hearers (many of whom have never seen a priest before).

Since Sgt. Poutre gave Gimpy the job of instructing younger pigeons last fall, he has turned out 150 graduates, trained to fly back to the trailer lofts as straight as a crow. Taken farther and farther away each day from Monmouth, he led them back unerringly to the loft, showed them that a pigeon can fly with a message capsule on leg or back. Last week, on his twisted right leg, three-year-old Gimpy stumped among a new class of 52 youngsters, fixed them with a hard...
