LITTLE ROCK. Ark. </P>—An
elephant and an estimated 12,000
persons at cake together yester
day.
The throng showed up at the
Little Rock zoo to give Ruth, the
elephant, a birthday party.
Ruth was permitted to go off
her strict diet to taste the first
piece of cake, eight by seven feet
squar, five tall and weighing
about 800 pounds. Then young
sters and adults alike filed by for
their pieces.
Ruth—who had been given a
special bath, pedicure (polish toe
nails) and singe for the occasion—
provided the entertainment. She
went through a routine of tricks
she learned in a circus years ago.
Ruth is 36 years old.
